More information on Simonds

This is a small but popular coffee shop frequented by journalists, ex-pats and students. There is another branch downtown. Cramped and crowded, there are just a handful of high stools for sitting on here. Find a sliver of space at the counter and chat with other customers. The display cases of pastries and sweets can be very tempting. It is purported to serve—although perhaps not justifiably—one of the best cappuccinos in Cairo. It also offers juices, teas and a good selection of fresh pastry and sweets.
