Freshly Brewed, Freshly Baked
Rooted in Lebanese tradition, every pastry, dish, and cup of our coffee is made fresh to order —
from our kitchen to your table
Our story is shaped by generations of recipes, passed down through kitchens filled with laughter, care, and the belief that food is an expression of love.
Every dish we serve carries that heritage forward—honoring tradition while welcoming new memories to be made around our table.
Our Purpose
Shawbak was founded by a Lebanese family with a deep love for sharing the flavors, memories, and warmth of home.
Crafted from Scratch,
Every Single Day
Our food is handmade daily from scratch. Each item is prepared with intention and shared with Pride.
Whether you are stopping by for a quick coffee, gathering for a meal with family, or discovering Lebanese flavors for the first time, Shawbak is a place where everyone is welcomed, remembered, and cared for.
Conveniently located in Melrose, we’re proud to serve our neighbors across Malden, Medford, Wakefield and Stoneham.
