Kalei Coffee Co. Ras Beirut

Kalei Café is truly a gem in Beirut! Housed in a beautiful old Lebanese house, it carries the charm of history while offering a modern touch in its food, drinks, and presentation. The balance is inspiring – you feel connected to the roots and heritage, yet at the same time, you experience creativity and progress. The food is excellent, carefully prepared, and full of flavor. The coffee and baked goods are served with such attention to detail that you immediately feel the passion behind them. Add to this the warm welcome, the friendly staff, the beautiful setting, and the vibrant atmosphere – and you get much more than a café; you get an experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation. It’s a place that tells you: yes, Beirut has a history, but it also has a future. Highly recommended!

Very nice environment, very very nice! I like the sense of history, I like this French style. As for coffee, the only problem is that there are not many types of pour over coffee. But on the other hand, because I am a pure Japanese coffee lover, I can accept this kind of roasting depth. When the texture of the cream is reflected, I am very happy that I chose the right shop.

Great place. Awesome nature and house/coffee house. Zaatar is a little too salty but everything else is great. We liked our waitress. She spoke fluent English. Definitely a positive experience.

I had the granola bowl, the minted lemonade and a cappuccino. Granola bowl was really tasty. Cappuccino very strong for those who like it. The place is really cool inside and outside. The garden is so beautiful and calm in the middle of Hamra, a little gem waiting to be discovered. The tables are fairly scattered, so you can enjoy some privacy in the shadow of an orange tree ☺️ Inside, they have a little room where they sell art and literature and everything is built in a nice and classy way.

The most lovely old home completely renovated to showcase its original beauty. The food was delicious and the coffee excellent. I wish I had discovered it earlier.
