In the heart of Beirut’s Saifi district, Backburner has become a local gathering place, cherished for its warmth and attention to detail.

Blue and brown penny tiles bring a sense of comfort, while sectional plywood forms the bar partition and Carrara marble shapes the bar counter. Custom solid wood furniture, genuine leather seating, and lighting by Spock Design add subtle character throughout the space.

Through its careful materiality and thoughtful design, the coffee shop has grown into a central spot where neighbors gather and relax.
