Homemade Cakes And Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, Beirut’s New Cake Lounge

Love fresh bakes? Do you crave homemade chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven? Love creamy crumbly cheesecake? Check out the new cake lounge, Afaf’s situated in the alleys of Gemmayze right near the OG of poke, Malolo.

The cozy cake lounge was the brainchild of Afaf’s granddaughter as tribute to the grandmother’s mouthwatering recipes and decadent cakes.


The whisk-shaped doorknob lets you know that you’ve made it to the right place and the scents that greet you once you’re inside are an additional affirmation.

The cool aesthetic doesn’t stop there; a laid back interior with an edge and a friendly and welcoming staff.


Lemon cake, carrot cake, cherry cheesecake, English date cake, apple cinnamon cake and chocolate crinkle cake…the delicacies are a dream.


The cake lounge also serves homemade cookies and ice cream, both equally as scrumptious, as well as a number of delicious sandwiches, all of which made by following Afaf’s creative recipes.


Not only is the cake lounge a feast for your tastebuds, but for your eyes as well.

The interior is absolutely gorgeous, the perfect combination of vintage alternative and homey.


Portraits of Afaf, a lively mural, a cake counter, and snug furniture make your experience at Afaf truly unique, like a visit to your own grandmother’s.
