Cilantro is the name of this café that we like to go to over on Road 9 (it’s actually a chain, so I’ve seen them in several places around Maadi, but we are able to walk over to the Road 9 location).
The boys like their hot chocolate – it’s like no hot chocolate I’ve ever tried before. it’s really thick, almost like they melted a chocolate bar into a mug.
I had a very yummy latte which was more like a cappuccino (the perfect ratio of milk/foam/espresso). And the best part is that it is located right next door to the Etisalat store so we have a place to kill time while Josh works out internet issues. (still working on that, btw.)
A familiar place I’d like to try (also on Road 9), but we haven’t been there yet. And we still have to take the inaugural visit to Starbucks. I don’t know if I’m putting it off because I’m afraid it won’t live up to all my expectations or what, but we will go soon and I promise to take pictures. I wonder if they have Starbucks school for Egyptian baristas . . .
