    Dim lighting, pleasant decor. One of a chain of coffee shop/ restaurants.
    I've now been in one in Alexandria and here in Cairo. Standard good in both.
    Patronised by upper class young Egyptians.

    Roastery Jumbo Combo-- a plate of fried onion rings, fried mushrooms [when available], fried chicken strips and mouth watering mozarella melts, on a bed of lettuce.
    Though all fried, it is dry and crisp, with no oiliness.
    We shared a plate between 3 of us as a snack [not a meal] and I took some home to my husband in a doggy bag!
    So, good sized portions.

    I enjoy this local fast food chain very much. The rpcies are very reasonable. Soup = 3 EGP, Juice = 4 EGP, Sphagetti with meat sauce = 4.5 EGP, main course 15 EGP up, salad = 4 EGP, a pastry/cake = 3 EGP. A full course meal cost about 25 EGP per person, including service tax. It is air-condition and the services are very efficient. There are several outlets in Cairo. I went to this fast food chain for dinner and afternoon tea. See other pic for the front entrance.

    I enjoy coffee and tea break in the morning and afternoon. I also enjoy good pastry or cake to go with the drink. Here I am in Groppi, which is located in the city centre. The coffee was so good and the Danish is tasty. Total costs13 EGP (including service tax). See more pics for bakery and outside.

    our dessert
    by call_me_rhia
    Our quest for the perfect cup of coffee came to an end when we least expected it. While we were visiting the citadel we saw the heavenly sign: caffè Illy, which is a well known Italian coffee brand. Sightseeing stopped: a real cup was needed!

    We followed the sign and found the cafe on the terrace of the police museum. The waitresses were wearing "oriental" dresses, and were definitely wearing far too much make-up. It smelled like a tourist trap, and it was... but the coffee was heavenly - and the pudding-like dessert (see photo) wasn't bad at all.

  • There are a wide variety of little cafes tucked away here and there.

    As you would expect the coffee is excellent but very strong! Cafe owners are good fun and come up with some good suggestions and things to try... mind you the sugary lettuce juice has a taste that may be acquired rather than found straight away. Finally, the must do - go for the hubbly bubbly :) .. shisha actually. Loads of the cafes have shisha pipes (big, big ones!) and you can sit there and smoke apple, cinammon, strawberry etc flavours. This is largely entertainment value with some giggly side effects - great fun and you should get some pictures out of it.

    Coffee and tea shops are a great place to sit around and socialize. Don't for get to smoke some flavored tobacco!

    Coffee Houses: Avoid the hustle and bustle

    Ice delivery!

    To escape the hustle and bustle of Cairo, have a drink in one of the many coffee houses. Cold drinks are also available and you can be sure that they'll be well chilled because restaurants receive frequent ice deliveries - as in the picture.
    If you go to a coffee house near Khan Al-Khalili you won't miss out on the bargains because street sellers will circulate the tables - they are easy to ignore if you want to, so don't think you will be pestered.
