At the Backburner, we import our freshly roasted espresso beans from the finest roasters and complement our coffee drinks with a wholesome food menu from select local bakers and kitchens.

Our first brew bar opened in 2016, situated in the heart of Saifi Village, Beirut. We serve expertly prepared espresso and single origin filter brews, and our baristas undergo continuous training to be able to serve the best tasting coffee. Our single origin coffees are sourced from single farms or cooperatives, grown by farmers who take exceptional care to produce coffee with exceptional flavor.

We offer a daily selection of freshly baked sweet and savory goods, including muffins, croissants, manakish and our signature tahini buckwheat banana loaf. We also offer a breakfast and lunch menu consisting of wholesome granola, classic sandwiches and hearty salads. All of our ingredients are fresh, seasonal and sourced from the best local kitchens.

Our offering also includes snack and sweet bite options for those seeking a healthier alternative; including energy balls, gluten free breads and sugar free baked goods, as well as green juices and organic mylks.

We believe in the culture of coffee and hope to contribute to a growing community of coffee enthusiasts.
