Breakfast at Luciole café: A La Greeko bowl, coffee and a mini cake

Where can you get breakfast in Jounieh for under $15?

Luciole opened its café and bistro on 20 October 2026, on the first floor of the Chiha Building in Jounieh Souks. It is a quiet coffee shop, separate from the kids' atelier, and it is open to everyone: you do not need to bring children to sit down for a croissant and a coffee. The windows look over Jounieh Souks and the roundabout, and doors open at 8:00 am from Tuesday to Sunday, so you can eat before work, before class or right after the school run.

Most breakfast and drink pairings on the menu land well under $15. All prices are in US dollars and exclude VAT, so the figures below match the menu exactly.

The French Omelette comes with avocado and a side salad for $12.00. Pair it with an Espresso ($2.50) and you are at $14.50. If you like sweet and savoury on the same plate, the Ariche Honey Sourdough layers Ariche cheese, banana, avocado, pistachios and honey for $11.00; with a Double Espresso ($3.00) that makes $14.00.

What is the lighter, quicker option?

Mini croissants cost $1.25 for cheese or thyme and $1.50 for chocolate. Two mini cheese croissants and a Lebanese Coffee come to $6.00, which is about as easy as a morning gets. For something fresh, the Avo P-Nut Boost bowl is $8.50 and the A La Greeko bowl brings Greek yogurt, dates, banana, raspberries, walnuts, chia, chocolate chips and date molasses for $10.00.

Not a coffee person? There is Hot Chocolate ($4.00), tea or herbal tea ($4.50), smoothies ($4.50) and fresh Orange Juice ($4.00). You can see everything on the full café menu.

Can you stay after breakfast and get some work done?

Yes. There is Wi-Fi, there are power outlets and nobody will hurry you out. A lot of guests order breakfast, open a laptop and stay for the morning, then order a second coffee when they need one. If that sounds like your kind of day, read our guide to coworking in Jounieh without a membership.
