    Nice place for chilling or working with coffee or cakes. I got a Cappuccino with Almond milk and Lotus Banana cake. Cake was a bit big for me and could be for two person for me.

    Found this cute hidden cafe nestled in zamalek. They are offering international all day breakfast. We are very happy with the food. Had an avo toast and cheese grilled sandwiches. Both meal were tasty. Loving the orange carrot ginger juice! Waiters speak english. They have 2 floors of small cozy seating area. recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Cute coffee shop, decorated really well. The service was great. Three friendly gentlemen happy to let me browse the menu and wait for my order. The flavors of the food and coffee were disappointing. They have all the fresh ingredients for a delicious food combinations such as an avocado toast topped with a poached egg but the flavor was lacking. Lots of pepper on everything and absolutely no salt. The salad had lots of pepper too. There was a nice balsamic drizzle on the salad that would have been perfect on the avocado toast. The coffee was watered down and while I asked for vanilla, they must have forgot to add it because the coffee was bitter and like warm. What I loved was all the gluten-free and dairy free bakery goods options - cookies and cakes. They also had local honey, olive oils, and chocolate covered treats for sale. There is a beautiful upstairs area full of artwork that would be perfect for hosting a morning brunch for about 15 or so people. See video here. This place has so much potential to be amazing. It just needs a little help with seasonings and flavors of the food and coffees. And maybe some bakery samples to encourage people to purchase the baked goods.

    The coffee is ok, cake was heated in the microwave 😳 without asking me. Service is mediocre, although it was not crowded then. I think it is an attitude, not crowdesness. The rest room was somehow hanged in the ceiling kind of dangerous.

  • 4/5 Jasmine K. 6 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    TL;DR: been to better places with better atmosphere, but worth the go nonetheless. We had a latte, apple cinnamon cider (brand is Taylor's), and a banana lotus cake. Cake was so good and fresh, apple cider was so bland and does not surprise you at all, so not worth it (local egptian brands do it better), and the latte was okay i guess. Atmosphere is supposed to be cozy and teenagery, tabels were too close together it felt uncomfy and crowded, and the upstairs arrangement was also crowded and too tight for me. If you want a quiet place to work remotely this is should not be your choice. Prices are resonabke except for the cake slice it was ridiculously lol. Ps: place has a bathroom which is always appreciated hehe.

    The place is really nice and cozy and I loved it. I have few notes about the food: For the breakfast I’d love to see more options and if they can serve it as a real breakfast which includes side dishes, salads, pastries, soups and beverages I’d love also to have my food on in nice fine plates rather than the plastic ones, even thought it’s COVID-19 but would love to do something about this plastic plates.

    It has a cute, freshly painted interior and a delectable cake display. It's small but there are some stools and outside tables set up directly out front and across the road. The coffee is good, and comes with a small cookie - always a bonus. A recommended cafe if you're heading to Zamakek for the day.

    This place is great!🤍 I really like the atmosphere, good coffee, and nice interior. This is a good place to study or chill with your partner, no loud noises which will help you a lot to concentrate on what you do . The drinks and foods were all tasty and worthwhile. I honestly love the great interior all over the place. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! A memorable place to relax💯

    The place is clean and minimalistic, relatively quiet with nice servers. I ordered the boiled eggs and cheddar cheese plate which was okay but then I ordered the fudgy chocolate cake which seemed to be old and so stiff, didn't like it at all. The four stars are mostly about location, cleanness and the nice staff.

    First time my fiance and I visited this place was good but 2nd and 3rd time was a disaster. They couldn't even manage to do a decent iced coffee plus everything is so overpriced. We do not mind to pay a lot when we get good products but spend 5 euros for a cup of ice with water and a drop of coffee is unacceptable. Same goes for their "organic fair trade tea" which is just a brand you can get at any fancy store.

  • 5/5 Nouran E. 9 months ago on Google • 46 reviews
    I would never hesitate to give this place rating 5. The bestest atmosphere ever, staff are so friendly and so kind. Food is so fresh and tasty and the quality of all of the ingredients is really beyond all of the expectations, you can easily see how fresh each ingredient is, specially vegetables. The are a little bit slow when it comes to preparing the food, but i think this is because the place is always busy with customers.

  • 5/5 Adrian T. 8 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    It's always wondrous here; a quiet side road with a couple of tables on the pavement, overlooking greenery & more or less undisturbed by traffic. Go early (at 8am) to enjoy it more or less to yourself: sit outside, at the counter by the window or at a larger table if you're a group. The menu is great - and there's a lovely, beautifully presented paper version so you need not fuss with QR codes. Great vegetarian options - all beautifully presented. And coffee in ceramic cups, too.

  • 5/5 Suhail A. 8 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    The place is very nice and comfortable. The decorations are simple yet elegant and clean. The staff was very professional and felt like that actually liked doing their job. I had a flat white that was made very well. It is a bit pricy, thought definitely not overpriced, but it's very much worth it

    The food was good, but could use more variety.Pecan pie and cappuccino were great! The atmosphere is amazing. The staff were very friendly but service was not super fast.

  • 5/5 Caroline L. 1 year ago on Google
    The Protein Combo (salmon, avocado and a poached egg on sourdough bread) is amazing! Very cozy place, good for working. I will be back!

  • 2/5 Hend E. 2 years ago on Google
    The biggest downside to this place is its unprofessional, loud and disorganized staff. Even though the place serves a drastically underserved area and started receiving numerous guests including foreigners and Arab tourists (thanks to our social media hype and instagram posts), the service keeps going down a drain. The overall atmosphere feels like you're sitting in ahwa balady with extremely noise and vulgar comments - no music and no consideration of guests whatsoever. Let alone the amount of street children begging outside on the opposite sidewalk, which makes sitting outside very uncomfortable. It's a serious pity that the cafe owners are not doing anything about these issues, let alone that its one of the most expensive and over rated coffee spots in the city.

  • 4/5 Humza M. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried everything on thr menu + banana cake + Americano + capaccino. Everything was great. I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for how stale the banana cake was n most importantly them charging us for milk on the side with the americano. That made no sense.

    Holms Cafe in Zamalek is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal and a cup of coffee. The coffee is undoubtedly some of the best I've ever had, and the food is equally amazing. Whether you're in the mood for a light breakfast or a hearty lunch, Holms Cafe has plenty of options to choose from, all made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. The service at Holms Cafe is excellent as well. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to answer any questions you may have. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Overall, I highly recommend Holms Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal and a great cup of coffee. The quality of the food and coffee is exceptional, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to catch up with friends or a place to grab a quick bite to eat, Holms Cafe is definitely worth a visit

    I ordered Melted Cheesy Sandwich, it was normal bread with normal cheese nothing special about it, you can make a good melted cheese sandwich like this one at home, seating was good and the environment was enjoyable with cozy music and service was good also, I was shocked for the price tag of a normal Sandwich like this one which was 80 L.E + Service & Tax which make it eventually 110 L.E

    Very very very overpriced just to have your dog in a cafe that allows you to sit with your pet (outside) I only had one Turkish coffee and one Latte (small size) and paid 130 EGP to sit in the street with my little Golden retriever and chairs were not that comfy however the staff is decent (though they don't know how to deal with dogs in a cafe that allows it, funny)

😠 I don't understand the hype. The eggs were overcooked-- the egg white were so overdone they looked and tasted like plastic. The charges were ridiculous.
