7 Things We’re Dying to Try from Bakelab Counter in Beirut

Arguably the most mouthwatering bakery in Beirut, one scroll through Bakelab Counter‘s feed and you’ll find yourself heading to Mar Mikhael to try everything they have. Here are 7 things we’re DYING to try from their bakery.

1. The “Everything” cruffin

Is it a croissant? Is it a muffin? We don’t know, and we don’t care. This cruffin stuffed with cream cheese looks like it could solve 99% of our problems.

2. The Zaatar Labneh Rolls

Fresh pastries with a Lebanese twist have our hearts. For when you’re craving la2met zaatar and labneh but feel like being extra, this roll looks like a dream.

3. Literally ALL their croissants

Probably the flakiest croissants you’ll find in the city. They look so beautifully crafted that we don’t even want to take a bite out of it. But we will.

4. This dreamy holiday bread

This seasonal bread might just be the fluffiest piece of bread we’ve ever seen. We’ll be waiting for this one each and every Easter!

5. Every version of their Danish Delights

You can’t convince us these Rhubarb Danish Delights don’t look AI-generated because of how good they look.

6. This two-tone pain au chocolat

What kind of sorcery is this? We barely understand the science behind bicolor pastries, let alone this chocolate art project. How do you even get it to look like that?

7. This literal piece of art

Filled with sweet apricot compote, these heavenly bites left us speechless because of its unique shape and delicate glaze.
