8 Unique Activities To Experience At This New Coffee Shop In Beirut
We are always on the lookout for the coolest, most comfortable, and all around best coffee shops in Beirut. So we were more than thrilled when we heard of a fantastic new local cafe opening its doors RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM OUR OFFICES!
Here are only some of the amazing things you can experience at Diell, a quaint and wonderful all-encompassing cafe that is open on Makdessi Street in the heart of Hamra.
1. Lay back and enjoy life
As soon as you step inside Diell, you’ll be greeted with a welcoming ambiance amidst a homey setup. Comprised of two floors, Diell boasts a laid-back atmosphere and a unique style for both. We recommend that you make your way to the second floor where you’ll find the adorable swing chairs. Diell’s unconventional and modern interior plays a huge part in adding to its quaint coffee shop charm, and you can only live the full experience while being seated on the swing chairs, cup of coffee in hand. Oh and btw, there is a takeaway window where you can buy the espresso for half its “stay in” price, yes you heard that right.
2. Have the perfect first date
This is not just any coffee shop, this is a coffee shop with a twist. Serving up a wide range of caffeinated delicacies, smoothies, and other decadent drinks, Diell is the perfect spot for a first date. The laid-back atmosphere makes for the ideal setting to get to know someone and their coffee selection is the best conversation starter. Who knows, maybe a year from now you’ll be headed back to Diell to relive the adorable and successful first date that got you two together.
3. Sample their specialty drinks
Aside from their delicious coffee, Diell completely won us over with their in-house specialty drinks. We’re talking about the Diellicious Nutella, a sweet treat that tastes exactly like a Nutella sandwich, and the Cinnamon Coffee Kiss, the ultimate drink for cinnamon lovers. Round up your friends and make your way to Diell to try these sweet delicacies, they’re the perfect company to your catch up sessions. Oh, and don’t fret about leaving your car on the side of the road unattended for long hours, you can happily park it facing Diell, for FREE. Yup, free parking for all Diell customers.
4. Enjoy some magical alone time
Between the wide spaces, the perfect decor, and the peaceful ambiance, Diell is the ideal place for some quality alone time. Grab a book, order that Diell specialty drink, and lose yourself for a few hours. If you’re not an avid reader with an endless reading list (no shame in that), then you can ask the cool people at Diell for the WiFi password and get back to binge watching that Netflix series you’re obsessed with.
5. Get your work and meetings back on track
Diell’s completely equipped work spaces are here to help you get your tasks done. Whether you’re wrapping up a business meeting or partaking in a study group, Diell has a space for you. You can either snuggle up on their colorful couches for a setting that will get your creative juices flowing, or you can make yourself comfortable at one of their round tables where your concentration and productivity will know no end. You can even grab a seat at the bar, which is completely equipped with plugs and facing the trottoir, making it the ideal spot for getting some work done and sporadically ticking tasks off that to-do list.
6. Have a perfectly healthy bite
Bursting with flavor and conveniently tucked away in recyclable packaging, Diell serves the ultimate re-energizing and healthy meals. From chocolate marshmallow tart to freshly baked croissants, and freshly made salads to delectable cold sandwiches, every morning your hunger is bound to be satisfied at Diell. Oh and vegans, rejoice! You’ll be glad to hear that Diell also serves vegan items that are just as mouthwatering. Best part? No plastic waste!
7. Unleash your competitive side with one round (or ten) of your favorite board game
Who said weekends were solely made for partying? Some of us would rather snuggle around our favorite board game and kick everyone else’s ass (metaphorically speaking of course). Diell offers the perfect setting for board game lovers on the hunt for a new home. Want to kick it up a notch? Loser pays the bill. Enjoy!
8. Go cigar shopping
Aside from its delectable specialty drinks, healthy hefty bites, and adorable homey interior, Diell also has a section for cigar lovers. Make it a point to stop by their cigar section and pick out the finest cigars, as well as the coolest cigar accessories, from lighters to cutters to ashtrays and more. Check them out!
