In a neighborhood packed with bars, restaurants and cafés, Caffeine Coffee Roaster keeps coffee at the center of the experience. Located on Alexander Fleming Street in Mar Mikhael, the specialty coffee shop combines its roastery identity with a café built for everything from a quick espresso to a much longer coffee break.
COFFEE FIRST
Caffeine approaches coffee in more than one way. Espresso-based drinks sit alongside filter brewing and other preparation styles, while freshly roasted beans are also available for people who prefer making their coffee at home. That variety gives the place an easy appeal: you can keep things familiar or use the visit as an excuse to try something different.
A SPACE WITH CHARACTER
The room doesn’t follow the ultra-minimal look that has become almost standard in specialty coffee. From the photos you shared, Caffeine feels warmer and more lived-in: dark wood, deep green details, mustard walls, a classic bar-style counter and shelves filled with coffee.
There’s indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it work as much for sitting down as it does for grabbing coffee on the way through Mar Mikhael. Reviews have also repeatedly highlighted the café’s design, coffee and welcoming service.
MORE THAN A QUICK COFFEE
Caffeine feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a quick coffee stop. With long opening hours and a relaxed setting, it works just as well for a morning espresso as it does for a longer afternoon or evening catch-up.
You can grab a coffee, sit with a filter brew, pick up beans for home, or simply stay longer than you planned.
SWANKY TAKE
Come for the coffee. Stay for the old-school Beirut café energy.
Caffeine feels like the kind of place that understands that a good coffee shop is about more than what ends up in the cup — the room, the people and the time you spend there matter too.
