    Not only the absolutely best coffee in Cairo, but up there with the best flat whites I've ever had, anywhere in the world. The coffee is expertly roasted, beautifully extracted via their modbar and milk treatment is absolutely perfect. The best thing is that their staff have been well trained to ensure consistency. Having been there 4 times in 4 days, the next drink is as good as the last. Very impressive, well done to the team and ownership at Social, this is a world class specialty coffee destination!

    ☕️ Drank a pumpkin spice latte there and it was very bad. Could almost only taste cinnamon and no coffee or pumpkin. 👨🏻 The service is fine. It's help yourself style. But the place is clean and the staff aren't intrusive. 🪑🍃 The seating is not great. It's basically a stairs-style arrangement (see photos others have uploaded) and the tables are very small. So it's not the best for groups. They have wifi but it wasn't working well. The place is quiet even though its in a relatively centred location, but because of the seating and the fact that there's no bathroom it's not a place I'd recommend if you want to chill for a few hours. (Not just take a quick coffee) - Might go there again to give their regular latte / salted caramel latte a try

    I take many grab & go coffees from here and have tried it also in store and it has consistently delivered on quality . I have so far tried their pumpkin spice , salted caramel, lavender latte and cappuccinos 👌 This branch has an interesting layered seating setting which could work for a 1-2 hour sit in.

    Best coffee I had in Egypt so far. I ordered a cortado and it was exactly the good balance between milk and coffee. I definitely recommend this place for its coffee. The only downside was the place where you sit, it isn’t super cozy, but for sitting there a short moment it’s good enough

    Starting with the place, it was kinda small but very warm, the vibes there are exquisite ! Staff is friendly and genuine, and the most important thing the coffee was amazing I ordered the rose latte and it was more than great, People coming in are mostly foreigners as it is in Zamalek and they think it is the best place to buy a cup of coffee in Zamalek, Do you agree ?

    Very nice coffee place with great atmosphere and a good variety of coffees. The only negative point is that there aren't any toilets.

    My husband finds the best coffee shops for me when we travel. I got a cappuccino (with half the espresso) and it tasted similar to my craft coffee shop at home - first in Egypt that I’ve had for my ten day trip!

    Honestly this is my favorite cafe in cairo! Very high quality coffee and good portion. I usually get an ice Spanish latte and i highly recommend it if you like sweet drinks, theirs is my personal favorite!

    Cheesecake was good! The coffee could be a lighter roast to cut the bitterness instead of over compensating with sugar

    One of the best coffees I’ve had in Egypt. I tried their rose and lavender lattes and I *love* them. I go out of my way to get them. They don’t use synthetic syrup so the end result is a very flavorful and not too sugary latte. Also tried their flat white and it was incredible. Truly very thoughtful with every ingredient. Highly recommend Also, shoutout to Nada for being an amazing barista and adding a smile to my face every time I go! :)

    Ive had an amazing matcha latte with coconut milk here! The portion was generous, I absolutely loved that!!! 🍵 💚 The quality of the matcha used is super good and so is the coffee. I tried the flat white and it was the perfect fix. The staff are so welcoming and lovely, and the overall ambience is chill and relaxing. Highly recommended!

    Easily the best coffee in Cairo. My friends said the same, and we've been here twice and both times it was great. We got the salted caramel latte, matcha latte with coconut milk, and Spanish latte. The prices are higher than a typical café but I feel that it's well worth it because I don't think I've had coffee this good even outside Egypt. The café is super tiny though and the seating is not comfortable at all so that's why I give it 2 stars on the atmosphere. Service is good and friendly. I prefer when they're friendly but don't make a lot of convo so I gave it 5 stars while someone else might find it less.

    Nice atmosphere, clean place but the danish was very bready ( guys, better change supplier) and coffee was bit burnt. Also gave me a cortado in a cup double its size which was strange. Very modern, hip look and decent pricing.

    Great coffee, tasty croissants and danishes, friendly service and a clean and modern ambiance.

  • 5/5 t t. 9 months ago on Google
    Friendly and lively baristas! Great air-conditioning. Expresso is a lighter roast and very fruity. Nice. Social is a smaller place with only around a dozen seats in a two-tier configuration. Enjoyable first-time visit.

    Excellent coffee, terrible service! The guy and the girl at the counter were not nice, I asked for a egg and mushroom sandwich and they brought me bacon and mushroom, then they said I had to make a queue again to order but they only had cheese sandwich. Very complicated. So I just paid for my coffee and left. Shame because the place is very cute but the people at the counter should be more attentive and smiling...and I speak some Arabic!

    Social Coffee was a fantastic pit stop. Delicious croissants and kind of massive lattes. Adeeb was very skilled with his lattes and friendly demeanor. 5/5

    Great place with a nice iced/hot V60, probably one of the best in Cairo, Abdoulmenem is the best :)

😠 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. We ordered a caramel macchiato which was listed for a certain price on their menu but they slapped an additional 8 pounds for the caramel. We order...
