Really nice place to take a coffee and relax. Clean, nice environment relaxed music, also a terrace. Coffee was pretty good free Wi-Fi but i think just for Orange users.

The same coffee quality were used to from Cilantro, but with the best seaview in Alexandria. Perfect destination if you are in the library (Bibliotheca Alexandrina).

Coffee is not the strongest area of this place. The view is great, beautiful atmosphere. Calm nand relaxing. Good service. Tried Molten cake. Not bad, the dough is excellent but not enough chocolate. Overall good for groups or relaxation. Wish it had good coffee though.

It has one of the best views as a cafe in Alex. Im not a cilantro fan but I love this place and Ive been visiting it every time I visit Alexandria for the past 10 years. If youre a late lover like me, you might not enjoy the coffee taste there unless you and me have different opinions. Anyway, forget your taste if youre not satisfied like me and enjoy the view. Btw, maybe I just have a different taste so just give it a shot. Though, they still serve other great and amazing drinks.

They forced me to have whipped cream on my coffee on nov 2011 😡😡, still mad at them though

I would like to thank this branch for letting everyone into their bathroom especially for Alexandria visitors. We were so many people using the bathroom at the sametime before our buses leave & no one from the staff prevented anyone from doing so nor asking for making an order to use it. I am sure this happens a lot because of the branch location. Thanks a lot for the staff & for the management :) :)

Only for viewOur order today was 2 cups of flat whiteOne normal with normal full fat milkThe other one was almond milk and caramel drizzle not syrupI asked for vegan milk due to lactose intoleranceCaramel was very poor few and tastless (and I’m not ex-covid because i can taste every single piece of food and i tasted well the brownies and cookies)But my coffe came with normal milk not almond milk .. because i use the type they use in the coffeeshop at home everyday (Alpro barista)And the barista insisted that it’s veganAnd i got a severe stomachache and diarrhea after drinking my coffee which it wasn’t vegan milkSo take care specifically if u are taking order with someone who consume dairy milkPlus i talked to the cashier, she talked in a very bad attitude specially after i told her no caramel drizzle in my coffee !!!I’m wondering how a such beautiful view like that and they serve a the worst service & coffee even the baristas are not professional and their attitude is not friendly!!It’s based on my experience not all !!But personally I don’t think I’ll revisit this place again....

Loved every bit. Offers really tasty breakfast, lunch, dessert, coffee and drinks. Has a great view of the sea. Free WiFi. Outdoor and indoor seating. I enjoyed staying there for hours. One of the really friendly staff members suggested that I try this lovely mango cake thing - lol - and I just LOVED it.

Every time I come to Alex I hope this place still exists and still keeps up to its level and it hasnt disappointed me till now. It has a special mood that works for me, non-smoking areas, good music, not too loud, good for both working and meeting friends, amazing view, even children friendly, they offer sometimes a colouring book. Staff was always polite and the food and drinks are good and clean.

Review №58

The place is great early in the mornings. Service is good when its calm, the view is also nice. The food and drinks are good, ice-cream is great!(Mövenpick)The service becomes lacking when it gets crowded tho, usually from late afternoon to sunset-ish time. Otherwise its a nice place for family, groups or couples.
