The Bakery Shop

The chain bakery that put fiteer and croissants on the same counter.

Budget

Pastries, breads, savoury turnovers and baladi fiteer, made continuously and sold to go. It is Cairo's office breakfast, and one of the few Egyptian chains making decent bread.

The extra bit

The fiteer stuffed with roumi cheese is the thing to try: the chain version of a village dish.

Know before you go

Everything goes fast in the morning: after 11 am often only the sweet items remain.
