Samira from Beirut

About Me I am a reflective wanderer who turns her encounters into stories to be told during her walking guided tours in Beirut. I am passionate about discovering hidden gems, attending art exhibitions, having oral history conversations about the recent history of Beirut, and discovering specialty coffee shops. Why Beirut? Beirut is the city that all the Arab countries have...

Edda Arabica Beirut

Specialty Coffee in Hamra

"Edda Arabica has gained the trust of clients who love to experience the various flavors of beans from diverse origins, that you can track their traits, brewed in several ways."

Who wouldn't enjoy a specialty cup of coffee, immense in its flavor, especially when prepared passionately and professionally? This is what Edda Arabica specialty coffee shop offers with every drink they serve in the buzzing neighborhood of Hamra.

Edda Arabica has gained the trust of clients who love to experience the various flavors of beans from diverse origins, that you can track their traits, brewed in several ways, whether through the slow bar (French Press, V60..) or espresso/milk-based drinks, keeping in mind their several tea servings as well. Note that all prices are in USD, and a latte, for example, is $3.25.

When you walk in, you'll see mustard colors on the bar with seating inside and outdoors, with 2 other local business concepts - a restaurant-flower shop, and an artisan sourdough bakery. So it's a shared space between them all.

Baristas working behind the bar have a passion for coffee and are trained to master the art and science behind this market. So trust me, anything you order will be tickling your taste buds because of this diversity served here and nowhere else in Lebanon! Edda Arabica has a grader to assess their green beans and even roast them abroad. Even the milk-based drinks will feature freshly-prepared milk of their own, vegan or not.

Did I mention that Edda Arabica prepares your espresso-based orders using a Modbar?! They're the only ones in Lebanon who use such technology! If you're looking for a professionally prepared cup of coffee, look no further!
