Cairo · Several addresses across Cairo

La Poire

The neighbourhood patisserie where Cairo families buy the Friday cake.

€€ Mid-range

Cake displays, pastries, sandwiches and fresh juices: a family chain in most neighbourhoods, where people come to take away more often than to sit. Prices stay gentle and quality is consistent from branch to branch.

The extra bit

The fresh juices beat the coffee: mango in summer, sugarcane all year.

Know before you go

Large cakes are ordered in advance, especially around the feasts.
