Bayti Cafe / Lebanese Bakery & Sweets — Restaurant in Doral

Don’t walk, RUN to this little gem in a Doral shopping plaza. Decorated beautifully, kind of a mix of Tulum, Greece and Lebanon with these stunning doors as a decoration inside, textured walls, lights and the look of greenery everywhere.

Now, the important part. The food 😍😍. It’s a Lebanese style bakery with several additions. The star of the show are their assortment of manakeesh which are a Lebanese flatbread that has different toppings on it: thyme, cheese, labneh (kefir yogurt), sujuk (sausage) and different cheeses. They’re made in a special oven and were so fresh.

They also have different wraps, sandwiches including shawarma and falafel and croissants among other pastries. Their juices are fire. My dad had a fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh smoothies but I needed coffee so I didn’t get to try those. Everything is made in house.

They have a little section for drinks immediately to your left when you walk in and they make Arabic coffee in the traditional way. There’s also a snack section in the back right corner where you can buy different nuts, crackers with thyme, labneh, Nutella etc.

There are a few small round tables that fit 3 and a high top that seats 4 as well as a larger outdoor seating.

I’ve been to different Middle Eastern bakery type restaurants so I’m critical. This place is extremely reasonably priced which stands out and honestly, better quality and taste than Nour Bakery, which has been a long standing favorite in this space. Another plus is how pretty it is. We honestly loved it. Oh, and kid friendly. My daughter got this amazing Nutella pie for dessert 😍. (I wish we had this close to where I live in...

The level of disrespect and incompetence displayed by the cafe was appalling. I came today and ordered a salmon toast and a fruit cocktail. I patiently waited for over 40 minutes still without my order. The girl at the front counter seemed more interested in her phone than attending to my order. There was nobody else in the cafe the whole time I was there. When I asked about my order, she appeared confused & attempted to charge me again.

I waited another 20 minutes and only got the toast. I waited again and she forgot about the cocktail. I even saw the chef at one point leave and go to Navarro to get produce.

No one bothered to apologize for the inconvenience or acknowledge the mishandling of the situation.

This cafe failed miserably in delivering good customer service. They lack basic professionalism. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this establishment...

We’re from Chicago (aka little Palestine) and my grandma is Lebanese, so we know good fatayer and manakeesh! We drove about 40 minutes here from Fort Lauderdale and it definitely didn’t disappoint! The space itself is so cute and gives a Lebanese countryside feel! We ordered a variety of options on the menu, a coffee and a juice. I was really looking forward to the ashta waffles but they were out of ashta :( Surprisingly the cheese heaven was our least favorite- it was a little too cheesy. The halloumi pesto was what dreams are made of! The lahm bi ajeen and egg and cheese were also delicious! Nothing was greasy or oily and the staff worked quick and were friendly. There is definitely limited seating but they taste just as delicious to-go. The coffee was very meh and the juice was okay. Other than that, I highly recommend- especially for the pesto halloumi...
