Sour Bites: Tyre’s Artisanal Sourdough Bakery You Need to Know About
Looking to support an incredible local business AND eat delicious bread? Meet Sour Bites in Tyre, South Lebanon. This small-batch sourdough bakery is all about slow fermentation, wholesome ingredients, and that perfect crackly crust you just can’t get from supermarket loaves.
Originally as a micro-bakery, Sour Bites has quickly become a community favorite. Their Instagram feed is a bread-lover’s dream. Think golden sourdough loaves and bread baskets that look straight out of a rustic café. But at its heart, Sour Bites is proudly local, baking in Tyre and sharing the love with nearby towns and delivering to Beirut every Thursday.
What makes them stand out? Their creative sourdough mixes. Beyond the classic plain loaf, you’ll find hearty figs & walnuts, aromatic zaatar, earthy zaytoun, nutty seeded bread, and even a sweet touch with dates & walnuts. Each one is baked with care, making them the kind of bread you plan meals around rather than just eat on the side.
Sour Bites is still a small business, but their mission is simple: bring high-quality, naturally leavened bread to the community while growing slowly and sustainably. And clearly, people are here for it.
