A long-time Downtown fixture, Patisserie El Abd never fails to impress with their huge array of sweet delights. Apart from the sugar-and-honey soaked oriental pastry section, Al Abd also boast a wide range of wonderful cakes and gateaux from humble cheese cake to elaborate death by chocolate, as well as a special department for croissants and Danishes. Most of the time we are truly overwhelmed with all the different sweets to choose from so we always go for the same, proven treats, such as the rich chocolate croissant or the yummy pizza slices. When on an evening ramble around Downtown make sure to stop by at one of their branches in the area for what is arguably some of the best ice cream in Cairo. The mango version actually tastes like super-creamy, frozen fruit, as does the strawberry one. And the best part is, all the wonderful things on display are really affordable and cost only a fraction of what you would have to fork out at posh bakeries in places like London, Vienna or Paris.
