    Egyptian cafe chain with a fabulous view of the Library of Alexandria.

    Ordered: Cinnamon-Honey Latte

    First, the coffee was quite delightful.

    Against my usual order, I did not go for their Americano as I do not have fond memories of it. However, I do have kinder memories of their honey latte, which did not disappoint.

    The body of the coffee was rich and full, and the flavours of honey and cinnamon played extremely well with the latte. I also liked the crust of cinnamon on top, which they’ve opted for instead of the traditional powdering often seen on spiced lattes. Make sure to stir this well, though.

    The service was great; you do have to figure out how to book a seat and keep an eye on your drink simultaneously, which can be tiresome.

    Now for the atmosphere!

    The contemporary interiors, the fabulous view of the Mediterranean in its rawest form, and the backdrop of the monumental Library of Alexandria, all the makings that gift this coffee shop an atmosphere unmatched by any across the coast, have also cursed it with an appeal even its ample space cannot bear. For it is almost too busy to visit reliably at its best hours, when the sun’s golden rays illuminate the brighter side of its surroundings and the seasonal winds keep a crisp chill in the air. Thus, unfortunately, one is often forced to leave or sit in unshaded spots beneath the scorching elements.

    All in all, super worth it if you somehow find a place to sit down. Make sure to take the outdoor seating, though, or you miss out on the spectacular views.
