Blanca, oh Blanca. This new charming spot offers the sweetest escape from the chaos that is Abd El Aziz street on a rainy day. Don’t hesitate to stop by for a quick coffee for a much-needed energy boost and a break from Hamra.

The charming Hamra cafe held a coffee workshop last month which I had the opportunity to host.

Tucked on the sidewalk of Omar Abdel Aziz Street, this new hidden gem is about to steal your heart away.

Blanca Cafe Bistro is a calm haven in the heart of busy Hamra, designed to be have a Parisian minimal style with a soft “feminine” touch. With its white marble, warm wood tones and light pink hues, this cafe sure ticks the ultimate aesthetically-pleasing box.

From its decor to the music, this little gem ensures you a homey feel and a calm retreat from the noisy and draining hustle of the city. One thing you can’t miss is the unbelievable attention to detail

I discovered Blanca by chance on Instagram and decided to pay a visit. Also situated on Abdel Aziz street, this small bistro made me discover how eggs perfectly pair with labneh. They have a selection of daily cakes displayed to choose from, in addition to the regular menu items.

Blanca : Hamra (Samedi/Dimanche)
Le dernier-né des lieux où bruncher, à ne surtout pas manquer. Toute la carte est à se damner mais s’il ne fallait retenir qu’un plat, ce serait les œufs pochés accompagnés d’un effiloché d’agneau et de fromage feta (29.000 LL). Pour les plus petites faims, on peut choisir l'omelette garnie : kashkaval, épinard, salade, tomates cerises à 15.750 LL. Au café, on craque pour les desserts de Lara Ariss. Ambiance branchée et élégante mais zéro chichi. Large porte-fenêtre qui sert de terrasse les beaux jours.
