Unique dual-concept venue combining a cozy bistro and coffee shop on the lower floor with a “to-go market” on the upper floor.
IPEC is proud to have supplied and installed the full bar and coffee-equipment setup for Mix & Glaze in Rabieh, Lebanon — a unique dual-concept venue combining a cozy bistro and coffee shop on the lower floor with a “to-go market” on the upper floor, designed to maximize space efficiency and workflow.
This innovative configuration allows Mix & Glaze to serve dine-in guests and takeaway customers seamlessly within one compact footprint — a perfect example of how smart equipment planning and ergonomic design can elevate both service speed and customer experience.

🧑🍳 Concept Execution
The challenge at Mix & Glaze was to combine two operations — a bistro and a coffee-to-go counter — within one building, without compromising functionality.
IPEC’s design and installation team achieved this by:
-
Creating distinct service zones across both floors with shared back-end preparation.
-
Integrating industrial kitchen elements into a refined café environment.
-
Using under-counter and display refrigeration to maintain flow and save space.
-
Ensuring all coffee, snack, and bar equipment aligns with energy efficiency and professional workflow standards.
The result: a functional, aesthetic, and efficient coffee-bistro concept ready to handle both dine-in and high-volume takeaway operations.
