Starbucks Raouche: The Best Branch in Lebanon So Far

Starbucks recently opened a new branch in Raouche (right next to Al Falamanki) which has a really nice view of the sea and the Pigeon Rock. So far, I think this is their best branch in Lebanon, and as simple as their offering is, it is possibly the best place along the coast there right now.

The problem (for me) with cafes and restaurants along the sea in Raouche and Ain El Mraiseh is that they all serve Arguileh so you are always obliged to tolerate the smoke around you, and I feel like they all try to rip you off with mediocre food and coffee. Last time I went to Bay Rock Cafe I paid $20 for two shitty Cappuccinos and a zaatar man’oushe.

And regardless whether it was Starbucks or other chain, I found it awesome to have a new place by the sea where you can chill, have good coffee, and enjoy the view, minus all the irritating things you hate at Lebanese restaurants. So yeah thank you Al Shaya!

    I am an old customer in Starbucks, but today everything was poorly organized due to the spread of Corona Virus 19 tables between them are very close. “It is easy to transfer the virus from one person to another because the Beirut branch, Raouche, is not interested and some employees are lying to you there is a responsible person who is very polite, rude and disrespectful. As for good service, especially the girl behind the desk, and now I will not advise anyone to go to any Starbucks.
