Kalei Coffee Co.’s flagship in Beirut’s Mar Mikhael/Rmeil district was once the Coconi House, abandoned in 1984 during the Lebanese civil war. When we entered the garden, we felt at home, offering a quiet escape from the nearby hustle. We preserved the old structure, allowing the space to guide our operations. In September 2016, Kalei’s first coffee house and roastery opened, honoring the past. (Note: Parking available for residents only.)

a week agoThis place is a hidden gem! I loved it from interior decoration to staff to food! Their pancakes are to die for and their hot chocolate cups are very appetizing but a bit less sugary than what i would have liked, you can still add sugar so no problem. I would recommend this if you feel like sitting in a more or less calm area in the heart of Beirut and have a delicious bite.

5 months agoA very chill place, perfect for relaxing. You have the option to sit in the garden, surrounded by adorable and friendly cats, or enjoy the air-conditioned comfort inside. It's an ideal spot to take your work. Their drinks are refreshing and delicious, and the cakes are absolutely delightful. The staff is nice and welcoming. Definitely a place I'll come back to for sure.
