Loved whiling away time on the terrace with the shakshooki (poached eggs in spicy tomato sauce ) and coffee , then being drawn into the lovingly-kept little bookshop , which was full of surprises!
The food is amazing specially spinach tabouleh quinoa what a mix !!???? the summer roll are great 2 ...it is great place to relax and have quality time with your friends or just by yourself...
Good selection of vegetarian-friendly dishes - appetizers and salads . Also try the Pain Perdu dessert to share with friends, because it’s so generous.
Check out the bookstore in the back, and the photography studio on the 2nd floor! They do awesome work, and the staff is friendly !
Terrace gets covered in winter, with patio heaters on. Lovely and snug place for a coffee or smoothie out of the Hamra bustle.
Cosy restaurant/cafe with a calm and nice garden .
An oasis of peace and calm in Hamra. Good food, good coffee , friendly service !
Just grab a book , order some coffee and enjoy the quietness ....Very cosy peaceful place
Very good atmosphere for work and relaxation. As if you are out of Hamra and its noise.
Cozy place for a casual meal. Quinoa salad was amazing and so were the misakhan bites!!!
Best food ever and best quinoa salad
Quiet spot in the middle of congested Beirut, nice music and good food! ... Love this place!
Try the shrimp dumplings cuz they are on the menu for a limited time ! So delicious !
Very nice terrace for eating outside!
Wedges are a must with ranch dressing .
They are not sure how to do a espresso freddo... it's an espresso with ice peoples! (I feel like I'm taking crazy pills)
Great garden . Great prices. Great and innovative snacks/food!
Goat cheese and turkey and bri sandwiches are so so so yummy!
The muffins are great! You can also buy books ! I love that place!
I highly recommend this whole place! Don't forget to check out the bookstore !!
Cute little cafe - unfortunately the food is a bit on the boring side. It’s ok, but it lacks a bit of love.
A perfect place for morning coffee , lunch and dinner .
The new chili chocolate fondant is awesome!
Steak Sandwich and Goat Cheese Sandwich are a must try!
Nice ambiance, good to chill out , but food portions are very small, especially for the price you're paying. If you want to eat, I wouldn't recommend here.
Very nice brownies ????????????????????
Great mood and awesome interior design .
The new chicken souvlaki is delicious.
Outstanding place and food. Head's up for the brilliant Dima Abulhusn!
Try the OSLO ice cream , rose + loukoum
Sandwiches
New hamra hangout
Do not get the wedges.
Awful and pretentious !!! Also, im sure that during the Neolithic period Hamra used to have better internet connection than the one provided here. Last, 6 power cuts in 1 1/2 hours??? Oh please!!!!
Went for iftar. We had to wait 30 min after iftar time because they closed the kitchen at 8pm because the cooks were fasting... Won't be going there again.
Anything coffee! Latte to a flat white or macchiato. Bagels are a hit too. The best roaster in Beirut! - Paul
Fantastic coffee shop. Excellent food, drip coffee, free wifi, lots of power, friendly staff. Highly recommended. - Patrick Collison
Crab salad is really good but the quinoa salad pales in comparison to the one served at Cafe de Penelope nearby. - Annibal Faddoul
The carrot ginger juice is nice, all fresh. - Stephanie Nour Prince
A must, the architecture of the place is on a whole other level. Combines modernity with a twist of the Lebanese heritage✨ high-end brands, great restaurants and amazing ambience♥️ - AlAnoud A AlGhunaim
My favourite is the pomegranate tart, never had it before and the sourness of the pomegranate with the crunchiness of the pastry is a killer combo.Thanks Khaled for the recommendation :) - Carla Eid
