Lebanese Coffee Shop Voted One Of The World’s Best Eco-Conscious Stores

The delightful local coffee shop and concept store The Slow was deemed one of the world’s most eco-conscious shops in 2021 on the luxury and lifestyle magazine Condé Nast Traveller.





The Slow merges an organic café, gallery, workspace, and concept store into one cool space right in the heart of Mar Mikhael.


With a philosophy that predicates you to “Slow down and enjoy the moment”, the door to this place allows you to escape from the rush of the outside world.


Their dedication to meeting the healthy standards of living is incorporated into their menu that includes the healthiest and freshest local ingredients.

Stunning interiors are matched by delicious meals, freshly brewed coffee, and quite possibly the best stack of pancakes in Lebanon.


Their concept store aims to find the best products that are eco-conscious, add value, and are long-lasting. Their team also travels around the world to obtain a carefully selected collection of clothes, objects, books, and body products from sustainable brands.


“It’s the vision of the architect Sari Kassouf, who was so inspired by the thoughtful-living philosophy he discovered on a trip to Bali that he decided to replicate it in his own city.”

Congrats to the team at The Slow!
