Byblos is full of charming nooks where coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. From artistic spaces to hidden courtyards, here are some of the most unique coffee shops to explore when you stay at Aleph Boutique Hotel.
maSami – Coffee Meets Creativity
Located in the heart of Byblos, maSami pairs freshly brewed coffee with creative workshop culture. Visitors can join sessions like crocheting, painting tote bags or making wind chimes while sipping their latte. The cozy atmosphere, friendly team and pet‑friendly policy make this space feel like a community hub rather than just a café.
Railway Coffee Station – Hidden Treasure in the Souk
Tucked away into the main souk, Railway Coffee Station occupies a secluded courtyard where you can escape the bustle. The menu offers comfort food, coffee drinks and decadent desserts. It’s the perfect spot to slow down with friends or a book while soaking up Byblos’s historic heart.
The Coffee Book – Coffee & Literature
Imagine cozying up with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. The Coffee Book, run by the Librairie Sayah bookstore, pairs the charm of a bookshop with the warmth of a café. It’s ideal for readers who want their caffeine with a side of literature. This spot is beloved by students and travelers needing a peaceful respite.
Little Byblos Café – Souk Charm & Citadel View
Hidden down a serene lane, Little Byblos Café serves artisanal coffee, homemade pastries and unique desserts like their brownie‑cookie hybrid. The stone walls and potted plants create a magical courtyard atmosphere, and the view of the citadel reminds you that you’re within one of the world’s oldest cities. It’s pet‑friendly and guests often describe it as welcoming and inspiring.
Even Byblos – Social, Chill & Versatile
Even Byblos is beloved for its stylish lounge with relaxed vibes. Its indoor and outdoor seating, comfy sofas and extras like a billiards table or small cinema are great for study sessions, catching up with friends or just chilling out. It’s a great venue for co‑working by day and drinks by night.
