2 weeks agoA 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

3 weeks agoBackburner 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 week agoPossibly the best specialty coffee spot in Beirut. Highly impressed with their offering of beans - special guests in particular given it’s one of our favourite coffee spots in London, only opened 6 months ago — and somehow they’re already sourcing and offering here. Exchanged numbers with the BM as they’re so interested to get ideas for other beans across the world. These people are serious about good coffee

a month agoA very nice and cozy place (but crowded) to have your coffee and a chitchat with your friends. Taste is so good, and the quality if fair for what you pay. 🚨Follow me for more reviews and photos of other places from around the world 🌎🔥
