Where To Find Healthy Desserts In Beirut
If you’re like most people, you’re always craving something sweet after a good meal. And you’re more than likely trying to avoid putting on those extra calories, especially now that summer is here. In honor of summer beach bodies and gluten phobes, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best places to find guiltless desserts in Beirut.
1. Oh! Bakehouse
After extensive research and numerous trials, Oh! Bakehouse opened its doors last May. Rena Dagher, the concept store’s cofounder came up with the idea during her childhood when her mother had Celiac Disease and used to bake gluten free bread and cakes at home. Now Rena encourages her three daughters to also enjoy gluten free, dairy free, and healthy alternatives.
Oh! Bakehouse offers over 100 items made with seeds, honey, grains, organic coconut sugar, organic brown sugar, organic agave, and fresh fruits. With outlets in ABC Ashrafieh and ABC Verdun, Oh! Bakehouse offers various types of healthy breads, cakes, biscuits, cookies, muffins, éclairs, tarts, and so much more.
2. Kitchen Confidential
Using nothing but premium quality organic, natural, and nutrient-rich ingredients, Kitchen Confidential offers desserts that are free of any refined sugar, and substituted by premium coconut crystals, molasses, raw honey, dates or seasonal fruits. Their various treats don’t contain dairy, additives, or preservatives.
They even accommodate vegan and paleo diets thanks to items that lack eggs and grains. After extensive research, they recently launched a line of diabetic friendly desserts. Their best sellers are the chocolate éclairs, chocolate fudge cake, and the strawberry cheesecake. This season, they’ve added a healthy twist to traditional Ramadan desserts.
3. Honest Cookies
Up until 2012, Safa, the founder of Honest Cookies was overweight and fed up with her unhealthy habits. Then she delved into the health and fitness world and spent countless hours reading up on nutrition and fitness.

Now, local organic almonds make up the base of these honest cookies that are sweetened with organic coconut sugar and raw organic cacao nibs.
