The Gemmayze branch is all about the hustle; from the academics huddled in one corner to the white-collar workers unwinding in the other, there's room to spare for friends' or date night . Brilliant!

Ric Santeugini

Very kind staff . A bit over priced but it seems to be trendy as all the guys from the university comes here to study and eat. Try the cakes , they're amazing

Ahmed Mashhadi

Chill place with great vibe and great crowed. The service and waiters are friendly and always smiling! #urbanista

Armchairs are super comfy . Ambiance is rather subdued, which is ideal for the studious. They should outfit the place with a bookshelf and some magazines/newspapers. Make it a proper study zone!

good food, good drinks, good atmosphere and friendly staff .. but they need to get fresher greens for the salad bar

Serge El Khazen

Great place for coffee , drinks, or a bite to eat with friends. No loud music and a nice crowd.

Odile Roujol

One of the places of our favorite district in Beirut

Great food and coffee ! Urban living, urban thinking

Rita Tohme ????????

I love this place. At least they have good service and friendly staff ! not like their gemmayze branch.

Sally Zohney

I love the place and their decor set up. It feels very fresh. Their coffee is ok. I wouldn't say super and a bit overpriced.

Riwa Shatila

Had a great chicken sesame salad ! Add black pepper for an extra kick ;)

Ziad Naboulsi

Excellent coffee ...both French press and brute.

Manal R.

I didnt like the salad bar items, although i have tried multiple items. I recommend you order from the menu and skip the salad bar . Also some ingredients were not fresh.

Yasmine H

Great carrot & thyme soup . Highly recommended.

The reason I keep coming back is for their lavender latte .

The smoothies are good yet pricey . Their food is below average and more of a hit and miss. Come here to hang out more than to drink good coffee

Not happy to write negative reviews however definitely not to 5* standards. Poor facility.. Staff not familiar with their own hotel .. Clean yes but outdated.
