  1. Abu Nawas

  2. Beite

    Next door to Majmu al-Rawda al-Siyahi, this is a chic, new, two-storey café. The name translates to 'my home'; you have to press the buzzer beside the massive wooden to enter. Its covered rooftop terrace is where Homs' affluent set meet.

  3. Majmu al-Rawda al-Siyahi

    This big, shady, garden café (whose name means something along the lines of 'Tourist Garden Association') is on the north side of the main street, close to the clock tower. A coffee here is a must just to take in the vibe, especially during summer evenings when the place is packed with locals.

    This coffeehouse is in a big, old, atmospheric stone building and is largely frequented by backgammon-playing old men.
