Emotions Beirut

Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

"My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small."

This pastry shop is not like any other. It is not cheap but you ought to pass by it at least once. You just need to see the beautiful display to know what I am talking about! And nibble on their extra fluffy croissants! My favorite go-to treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" -lemon turnover- which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small. It has the perfect size and set of flavors to satisfy one's palate.

I discovered this spot in Naccache, which is close to my home but their main branch is located in the heart of Ashrafieh. Their cakes and pastries all look exquisite and I really recommend you give them a try. I am sure you will be addicted to the passionately crafted patisseries and ice creams. Unfortunately, this pastry shop does not deliver but they are open from 8 AM to 9 PM every day, including Sundays!

Bon appétit!
