Bn Coffee Bar has been serving specialty coffee since 2018 in Gemmayze, Beirut, before opening a new branch in Badaro in 2020. I really admire the fact that this coffee shop gets its beans from Coffee Dimensions, a specialty coffee roaster that's even a Barista Training Academy.
Bn Coffee Bar has always been one of my favorites in Beirut, because they open from 8:00 and as an early bird myself I love having my cup of specialty latte after my morning Sunday walk.
The way their brewing tools and beans with their descriptions are placed on the bar where they are within anyone's reach right before they order opens up so many options for visitors. They can ask about any tool and the barista would explain passionately.
I will be signing up soon for their Barista Training Academy so that my love for specialty coffee can be backed up by proper education!
