North30 Café inside the Egyptian Museum is a truly unique experience. The atmosphere feels majestic and inspiring, with a touch of history all around. The staff were very welcoming and professional, and they even offered our kids a complimentary cake, which was a really nice gesture. The café had people from many different nationalities, which gave it an international vibe. We tried the espresso, which was strong and flavorful – I personally loved it. The iced latte was light and refreshing, while the orange juice was okay but nothing special. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re visiting the museum and looking for a nice break spot.

This cozy coffee shop offers a calm, inviting atmosphere—an ideal spot to unwind between visits to the nearby galleries. The warm lighting, comfortable seating, and subtle background music make it a perfect retreat from the buzz outside. Ziad and Mohammed were especially welcoming and knowledgeable; they helped me choose an excellent pour-over and made the experience even more enjoyable with their friendly service and great recommendations

Best coffee we've found in Egypt in an amazing location with a very nice atmosphere. They have friendly service, they really know their coffee, and even seem to offer Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Thai preparation. They have oat milk for 40 pounds extra and some snacks are pricey, but the coffee is pretty reasonably priced for an upscale café in a brand new museum. Totally tops overall.

Nice cosy cafe based inside the Grand Egyptian Museum. The staff was kind and helpful. They have decaf option and a plant based milk option. Their carrot cake was nice, and coffee is tasty. You have a direct view of the statues and people passing, so no need for your mobile. Just sit, watch and enjoy the moment with a nice coffee.

Modern, european style coffee place with plugs to charge your phone. Quiet. Friendly staff. Mohamnad, one of the barist gave me a piece of cake to taste. The coffee was not the best, but ok. Good quality cup to take away.
