Cairo · Several addresses across Cairo
Cilantro
The Egyptian café chain you find everywhere, and that always does the job.
€€ Mid-range
Born in Cairo in the late 1990s, the chain has spread across the city: coffee, sandwiches, wifi and air conditioning. It is not where you discover Egypt, it is where you answer your emails or wait for someone — and for that, it is the safe bet.
The extra bit
Mall branches open later than neighbourhood ones: handy when everything else has closed.
Know before you go
Prices are international-café prices, not ahwa prices: expect several times the cost of a street tea.
