For ages, coffee addicts in Egypt couldn’t find a place that could compete with Al-Ghoreya coffee vendor when it came to the taste, spirit, and price of Turkish coffee. Just a few steps away from the timeworn cosy little shop, visitors smell the rich scent of roasted coffee beans which invades the neighbourhood with its strong aroma. Located in Al-Ghoreya neighbourhood, close to Al-Hussein and the legacy of Fatimid Cairo, the place is considered one of the oldest coffee vendors in Egypt. The place has its own coffee bean roaster, where it roasts beans to three stages: light, brown, and dark coffee. It originally produced only Turkish coffee beans, before it developed and started producing several types of beans for different tastes, including chocolate, hazelnut, and vanilla flavours.
