Sugar Shake Beirut

A hidden shakes destination

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...
"At "Sugar Shake" right behind Beit Beirut Museum, you will be served one of the freshest and tastiest smoothies & frozen yogurts you can have in the city!"

Sugar Shake might not be out on the main streets of Beirut, but this is what hidden gems are all about! In an alleyway right behind Beit Beirut Museum, you'll be served one of the freshest and tastiest smoothies and frozen yogurts you could have in this city.

As a shop that opened during the economic crisis, Ismail, the owner and business graduate and the owner of this original shop, got affected, which led him to open at a different location with a takeaway service, but everything happens for a reason. Not to mention that from a business perspective, he had to cut costs. Honestly, Sugar Shake's current location is great for the museum visitors, and the mini market entrance of it that he launched a few months ago is needed in a street full of boutique shops and art galleries.

When asked Ismail about what sells the most, he said that the milkshakes are always in demand. However, I tried the frozen yogurt with lotus, crushed biscuits and a drizzle of strawberry syrup. Let me tell you that tasting the frozen yogurt made me miss a taste that doesn't exist in the market here.  It was really fresh and creamy, one way or another.

I'll soon be trying his smoothies, because I couldn't but order the same frozen yogurt the second time I visited his shop - it was really that good! Try it for yourself to find out.

Praliné

Coffee and pastry shop

We entered the shop and were greeted by an affable gent who suggested we try out some sweet bites displayed on a black platter. And we did. Delicious!

Falafel Joseph

Best Falafel In Town

Falafel Joseph broadened his menu and opened a "restaurant" a couple of hundred meters away. The restaurant serves one of the tastiest chicken shawarma in town!

Persian Cup

A Hidden Gem

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

L'Appartement

Bistro Bar

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

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.
