Our Story
Our story owes its beginnings to the famous Beirut Manara (“light-house”) corniche, an iconic district in Beirut that has long been home to street vendors of the nostalgic sesame flat-bread of Lebanon known as kaak. If you grew up in Lebanon, you’ve surely enjoyed a kaak stuffed with savory or sweet fillings while taking a stroll along the corniche. The infamous sight of a trolley overflowing with freshly baked kaak, stacks of Picon cheese and heaps of sumac and za’atar would make your tummy grumble. And the vendors’ bellowing call to kaak which echoed across the street was music to your ears.
For years, we have gathered along the Manara corniche to enjoy kaak and share stories with friends. Thousands of kaaks later, its time to share our story with the world.
