A
Groppi Garden
Bland coffee and uninteresting pastries, but the garden terrace here is a relatively peaceful place for a cup of tea and a sheesha. The cafe was a favoured relaxation spot for Allied troops in WWII, and was immortalised in Olivia Manning’s The Levant Trilogy as ‘…a garden of indulgences where the Levantine ladies came to eye the staff officers who treated it as a home away from home.’

B
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
At this branch of the American coffee chain most associated with Hollywood celebrity sightings, the clientele wears similarly large sunglasses and jewels. There's a strict no-tipping policy - which may or may not be connected with the occasional complaints of incorrect change-making. Still, the coffee is very good.

C
Pottery Café
AUC students set up camp here, chowing down on big salads, stuffed baked potatoes and sandwiches. For coffee, though, you're better off at one of the other cafés on this strip.

Kawkab ash-Sharq
Dedicated to the 'Star of the Orient', Umm Kolthum. Look for the huge busts of the singer out front.
