Beirut has no shortage of cute cafés, but finding one that serves specialty coffee, is pet-friendly, offers delicious brunch, and looks aesthetic? Not many places tick all the boxes, but there’s a café in Raouche that nails it.
Maison Reef is a minimalistic bistro café in Raouche that’s perfect for anyone wanting a relaxed spot to enjoy alone time, read a book, or work quietly. Apart from being every introvert’s dream, it welcomes furry friends to spend the afternoon by your side while you enjoy all the treats they offer.
Here’s what to expect from this Beirut café: coffee lovers are in for a treat with their impressive selection of specialty brews. Whether you like your coffee short and strong or smooth and balanced, Maison Reef has something to match your taste.
And if you’re still new to the specialty coffee game, their baristas will be more than happy to help you pick out something that suits your tastes.
But if you’re not much of a coffee aficionado and still want something delicious, you can try their creamy pistachio latte or go for something sweeter, like the hazelnut latte. Did you know that they also serve matté?
If you’re coming for breakfast or brunch, Maison Reef serves up fresh, warm saj wraps stuffed with flavorful fillings. It’s a light, savory treat that’s perfect alongside your coffee or tea.
You can also stop by with a group of friends to share their traditional Lebanese breakfast platter, filled with eggs, labneh topped with pomegranate and pistachio, turkey, cheese, zaatar, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, makdous, olives, jam, butter, sourdough, and served with a cup of their signature black tea. It’s a colorful, hearty spread that’s perfect for sharing and gives you a true taste of Lebanese breakfast traditions.
Those who love fresh bakes can also opt for delights from their Viennoiserie, including pain au chocolat, croissants, and cinnamon rolls. Or you can stick to Lebanese staples, like their mouajjanat and pizza.
For dessert lovers, the honey cake is sweet and super comforting, while the fudge cake is rich, chocolatey, and ideal for a little indulgence any time of day.
Pro-tip: If you want to make your own spread at home, you can shop from their selection of mouneh, sourced from villages across Lebanon.
This spot also sells boxes filled with your coffee or breakfast order, matched with a cute bouquet of flowers to brighten up your day. How cute is that?
It’s a thoughtful way to make someone’s day, whether you want to treat yourself to a little joy or surprise someone you love.
