The Slow
Cafe & Lifestyle Store
At The Slow, we believe in savoring life’s simple pleasures — good coffee, honest food, and meaningful moments.
What began in the heart of Beirut has found a new home by the sea, at Waterfront City, Dbayeh — a place where the pace is gentler, the horizon is wide open, and life flows freely.
Here, we’re open to the sea, to boats drifting by, and to endless skies — a space with no limitations, only possibilities.
More than just a café, The Slow is where community, creativity, and calm come together. Whether you’re here for a mindful morning or an unhurried evening, take a seat, take your time — welcome to your second home.
