Backburner Coffee

Came here to try the matcha and found it to be good but definitely not the best. The atmosphere is nice but very tight seating inside the cafe; the outdoor seats are better though in the sun. They had some cards (5.5$) which we cute & unique. Overall, personally wouldn’t come back as I found so many better cafes in the city but still a good option

A cute and cozy cafe. The coffee and matcha are both very good. Sandwiches and sourdough bread options are tasty. My favorite was The sourdough with Zaatar and pistachios. Great for grab and go or if you find a table, sit for a quick bite. Service is great and the staff is very friendly! Lactose free options available

The coffee is not exceptional. Two hot drinks and one lemon cake cost $18. If I’m paying that price, I expect a well-presented glass with latte art on top, not a plastic cup! The lemon cake was very normal. The prices are not public. You will be shocked when you want to pay.

Backburner is one of our go-to coffee spots in Beirut. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff are always friendly. I would’ve given 5 stars, but their prices are out of hand — $17 for a smoothie (what?!) That said, if you’re looking for a good coffee in a lively setting and in Saifi, it’s still worth a visit!

A nice and cozy spot at Saifi village Beirut. Good coffee and cool vibes!
