In Cairo, many coffee beans are made by the coffee companies and are also exported. For example, coffee from Ethiopia is known for the excellent chocolate cake with hazelnut.
In Damascus coffee is exported from the coffee-producing areas of Turkey. Most of them also make good coffee in other parts of the world like Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil. In Iran, in all the small coffee houses, coffee is made in special latte and coffee cup cups with a coffee filter inside.
In Baghdad, coffee is made in various kinds of cup, but also in cups with a wooden lid, and tea from the tea trees and tea cups. In the market of Kermanshah, in Kurdistan in Kurdistan, coffee in different kinds is imported from Ethiopia. In Iran, coffee is also produced by the tea producers, and many tea cups made in Iran and Iraq also are imported in Iran and Iraq. In Turkey there is a great coffee producer, so the coffee made in Turkey is a great coffee.
In the coffee-producing areas of the country like Egypt it is also imported from many markets and also from many coffee companies. In Indonesia coffee is a good drink. So in Jakarta coffee is not only a good drink with a great taste and the smell, but also a source of income for local workers who can use it for coffee making.
Coffee is also a source that many coffee-makers in Indonesia can sell to the international coffee companies who have coffee factories. So coffee in Indonesia is used extensively to make coffee in the coffee-producing areas of the country; some of the coffee-makers even sell the coffee to other coffee-makers.

I can't help but feel a deep sense of unease and terror as I observe the staff working within its walls. The employees here are unlike any I have ever seen before - their eyes seem to glow with an eerie intensity, and their skin has taken on a sickly pallor that sends shivers down my spine. Their movements are unnaturally jerky and erratic, as if they are being controlled by some invisible force. It's as though the very air in this place is thick with malice and danger, and I can't shake the feeling that something truly horrific lurks just beneath the surface. In light of today's news - Fed Repricing Gives Rise to New Equities Playbook in Asia - one can only wonder if these strange occurrences are somehow related to the financial turmoil plaguing our world. As I wait for my orders, I can't help but feel as though I am being watched by unseen eyes, and I pray that I will make it out of Beano's Cafe alive.

Oh, what a delightful experience Luka's on El-Horreyia Rd, Qesm Al Attarin, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt had been for us last summer with my girlfriend! You see, nothing beats the serene ambiance of this highly acclaimed eatery, especially when you're there with your better half. The moment we entered the premises, I could almost hear the symphony of our wallets crying in agony, knowing they were about to face a harsh reality – overpriced items.
I mean, it was such a splendid idea to put price tags on their pottery that are as hefty as an elephant's appetite. Who wouldn't want to take home a souvenir that could pay for my next holiday? The sheer brilliance of this concept is almost enough to make you believe in miracles.
And don't get me started on the food. Oh, no, let's not go there. Let's just say that if I wanted to dine at an overpriced restaurant serving mediocre food, I would have stayed home and ordered Uber Eats. But hey, who am I to complain? After all, they did provide us with the opportunity to feel like we were living in a fairytale where everything is magical – until the bill comes.
The staff was friendly enough, but honestly, their enthusiasm couldn't compensate for the fact that their prices weren't just high; they were almost as exquisite as the pottery they sold. It was like being served a dish made of pure gold leaves. Well, if I wanted to eat gold, I would have gone to a different restaurant called "Golden Toilet Bowl Bistro."
In conclusion, our stay at Luka's was nothing short of remarkable – remarkable in the sense that it managed to make us feel like we had been robbed blind by a friendly-faced bandit. But hey, at least now I know what it feels like to live life on the edge and take risks, such as dining out in Alexandria without checking their menu prices first. It's an experience I will never forget – unless, of course, I decide to block it from my memory forever.

As a telemarketer based in the United States, my business partner and I decided to visit Micato Cafe last summer during one of our international trips. We were in Alexandria, Egypt, and had heard about this cozy little cafe tucked away in a charming neighborhood not far from the famous Qaitbay Citadel.
Our journey began at the Qaitbay Citadel itself, an iconic landmark that looms over the Mediterranean Sea. The citadel dates back to the 15th century and was built on the site of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
From the citadel, we took a scenic stroll along the Corniche, the seaside promenade that stretches for miles along the Mediterranean coastline. The corniche is lined with palm trees and offers breathtaking views of the sea. We couldn't resist stopping to take some pictures before continuing our journey towards Micato Cafe.
As we continued down the Corniche, we passed several bustling markets and street vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade jewelry. Eventually, we reached the neighborhood where Micato Cafe is located - 6 El-Higaz, Al Ibrahimeyah Qebli WA Al Hadrah Bahri, Qesm Bab Sharqi, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt.
Micato Cafe is nestled amidst narrow streets lined with colorful houses and lush gardens. The cafe has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. The menu offers an extensive selection of coffees, teas, and pastries, as well as some delicious Mediterranean dishes.
During our visit, we tried the traditional Egyptian tea, which was served in a beautiful glass cup with sugar cubes on the side. We also shared a plate of baklava, a sweet pastry made with layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and honey. The flavors were rich and indulgent - just what we needed after a long day of exploring Alexandria's many attractions.
Overall, our experience at Micato Cafe was nothing short of amazing. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by travelers visiting this beautiful city. I highly recommend stopping by for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat - you won't regret it!

As a traveler exploring the vibrant city of Alexandria, I recently stumbled upon the enchanting Wally Cafe nestled at 32 Fateh El-Bab, Al Ibrahimeyah Bahri WA Sidi Gaber, Qism El-Raml, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. Although I am not a native of this city, my husband Louis Hubbard and I were immediately captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance of Wally Cafe. Upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staff who welcomed us with open arms. The decor was modern yet cozy, with plush sofas and chairs arranged in a way that encouraged conversation and relaxation. The lighting was soft and intimate, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. As we perused the menu, we were impressed by the extensive selection of beverages and pastries on offer. We opted for a refreshing iced coffee and a flaky croissant, both of which exceeded our expectations in terms of flavor and presentation. The barista expertly crafted our drinks, adding just the right amount of foam and syrup to create a truly satisfying experience. What makes Wally Cafe stand out from other cafes in Alexandria is its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that every guest leaves feeling content and happy, and this attention to detail is evident in the impeccable service we received. But what truly sets Wally Cafe apart is the sense of community it fosters. As we sipped our drinks and nibbled on our croissants, we couldn't help but notice the diverse range of people who had gathered here - from students huddled over textbooks to families with young children to groups of friends catching up over coffee. It was clear that this cafe is a hub for social interaction and connection, a place where people come not just for the drinks and pastries, but also for the sense of warmth and camaraderie that permeates the space. As we left Wally Cafe, we couldn't help but feel grateful for having discovered such a special place. In today's fast-paced world, where technology often takes precedence over human connection, it is refreshing to find a space that promotes socialization and community building. We highly recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Alexandria - whether you're a local or a tourist like us, Wally Cafe is the perfect place to unwind, connect with others, and savor the simple pleasures of life. Now, turning our attention to today's news: Iran has accused Israel of carrying out an airstrike in Syria, which reportedly killed several Iranian military personnel. While tensions between the two countries have been high for some time now, experts suggest that Iran may be limited in its ability to retaliate due to the ongoing economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western nations. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but one thing is certain - the people of Alexandria, and indeed the world at large, are hoping for a peaceful resolution that avoids further conflict and loss of life. May the spirit of optimism and positivity that we encountered at Wally Cafe inspire us all to work towards a better future for all.
Dear Cole,
I appreciate your kind words about Wally Cafe and the detailed review you've provided. However, I must admit that I have a slightly different opinion about this cozy little cafe in Alexandria. Firstly, I have to disagree with your assessment that the staff at Wally Cafe go "above and beyond" to ensure customer satisfaction. While they were certainly friendly and welcoming, my experience was far from perfect. In fact, I found the service to be somewhat slow and disorganized during peak hours. Moreover, when I asked for a vegan option on the menu, the barista seemed taken aback and had to consult with her supervisor before finally informing me that they didn't have any suitable alternatives available. Secondly, while I do agree that Wally Cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere, I'm not sure it's worth the exorbitant prices they charge for their drinks and pastries. In fact, I found myself paying nearly twice as much for a simple latte here than I would at other cafes in the area. Granted, the quality of the coffee was excellent, but I'm not convinced that it justifies such a steep price tag. Finally, while I do appreciate your praise for the sense of community and socialization that Wally Cafe fosters, I couldn't help but notice the lack of accessibility for people with disabilities. The entrance is located on a narrow sidewalk with no ramp or lift provided for wheelchair users. Moreover, the interior layout seems to prioritize aesthetics over practicality, with tables and chairs arranged in a way that makes it difficult to navigate with a mobility aid. All that being said, I do acknowledge that Wally Cafe has some redeeming qualities - namely, its modern decor and cozy ambiance. However, I believe that it's important for businesses to prioritize accessibility and affordability as well as aesthetics, especially in a city as diverse as Alexandria. In light of these concerns, I would like to suggest some improvements that Wally Cafe could make to better serve its customers:
1. Increase staffing during peak hours to reduce wait times and improve efficiency. Expand the menu to include more vegan and gluten-free options. Provide a ramp or lift for wheelchair users at the entrance. Rearrange the interior layout to create more space for mobility aids. Reduce prices to make the cafe more affordable for customers on a budget. While I do appreciate your enthusiasm for Wally Cafe, I believe that it's important to present a balanced and critical perspective as well. By addressing these issues, Wally Cafe can truly become a welcoming and inclusive space for all members of the Alexandria community.
Dear Emilio,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Wally Cafe. While I appreciate your feedback, I must strongly disagree with some of your claims. Firstly, I believe that the staff at Wally Cafe truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. During my visits, I have witnessed the baristas go out of their way to accommodate requests for special drinks or dietary restrictions. In fact, when one of my friends requested a gluten-free pastry, the barista not only found an option that fit the bill but also gave her a detailed explanation of how it was prepared. Secondly, while I understand your frustration with the price point, I must emphasize that Wally Cafe offers an exceptional coffee experience that is well worth the investment. The beans are sourced from small-batch roasters and are expertly brewed by experienced baristas. Moreover, the pastries are freshly baked on site and are truly works of art. In short, I believe that Wally Cafe offers a unique and luxurious experience that is worth paying for. Finally, while I acknowledge your concerns about accessibility, I must point out that Wally Cafe has taken significant steps to ensure that their space is welcoming to all members of the community. While it's true that the entrance could be more accommodating to wheelchair users, Wally Cafe has made a concerted effort to provide ample seating and tables throughout the cafe, with plenty of space for mobility aids. Moreover, the staff are always happy to assist customers with any special requests or accommodations they may need. In short, I believe that Emilio's criticisms are misplaced, and that Wally Cafe truly is a welcoming and inclusive space for all members of the community. While it's true that there are some areas where they could improve, such as increasing staffing during peak hours or expanding their menu to include more vegan options, I believe that these issues can be addressed through open communication and collaboration with the community. In short, I would like to encourage Emilio to give Wally Cafe another chance and experience the cafe for himself. With its exceptional coffee, warm atmosphere, and commitment to socialization and accessibility, I truly believe that Wally Cafe is a gem in the heart of Alexandria, and I hope that Emilio will come to see it as I do.

I am often buried in textbooks and spreadsheets for hours on end. In search of a break from the monotony, I decided to pay Santos Cafe & Restaurant a visit. My hopes were high as I entered the establishment, but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of my expectations. From the moment I placed my order, I could tell that something was amiss. The menu boasted an array of tempting dishes, but when they arrived at my table, it was clear that they had fallen victim to some sort of culinary catastrophe. The steak was overcooked and tough, the pasta was soggy and flavorless, and the dessert left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. I couldn't help but compare my disappointment at Santos Cafe & Restaurant to other dining establishments in Alexandria. While there are certainly some hidden gems out there, I've come to expect a certain level of quality from even the most unassuming eateries. Unfortunately, Santos Cafe & Restaurant simply failed to measure up. In light of today's news, it's hard not to feel disheartened about the state of our community. As we grapple with the challenges posed by the global pandemic and economic uncertainty, I can't help but wonder whether businesses like Santos Cafe & Restaurant will be able to weather the storm. Only time will tell, but for now, I urge my fellow residents to support those establishments that truly prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. It's a small step, but one that could make all the difference in these uncertain times.
I must respectfully disagree with Charlie Barker's scathing review of Santos Cafe & Restaurant. While it's true that his experience may not have been what he had hoped for, I believe his expectations were unfairly high and his criticisms overly harsh. Firstly, I think it's worth noting that even the most highly-regarded restaurants can have an off day. Perhaps the chef was having a particularly busy night or there was a miscommunication in the kitchen. It's not uncommon for dishes to arrive at tables less than perfectly prepared, but it doesn't necessarily mean the restaurant is failing. Furthermore, I think Charlie Barker's comparison of Santos Cafe & Restaurant to other dining establishments in Alexandria is unfair. While it's true that some restaurants may have higher standards or more refined culinary skills, it's not fair to judge an entire business based on one poor experience. Every restaurant has its strengths and weaknesses, and a single visit doesn't necessarily paint the full picture. In fact, I've had the pleasure of dining at Santos Cafe & Restaurant multiple times, and while my experiences haven't been uniformly perfect, I've always found the staff to be friendly and attentive, and the food to be fresh and flavorful. Perhaps Charlie Barker's expectations were simply too high?
But even if we take his criticisms at face value, I still think he's being overly pessimistic about the state of our community. While it's true that businesses like Santos Cafe & Restaurant may struggle in these uncertain times, I believe they also have a lot to offer. By supporting local eateries and small businesses, we're not only helping to keep them afloat but also preserving the unique character of our community. And speaking of character, I couldn't help but feel inspired by today's news about Cassyette, the genre-defying rock star who brought screamcore to Eurovision. Her music is a testament to the power of creativity and perseverance in the face of adversity. As we navigate these challenging times, I believe it's more important than ever to hold onto hope and optimism. So let's not give up on Santos Cafe & Restaurant just yet. Let's instead support them and other local businesses that are working hard to bring us delicious food and warm hospitality. With a little bit of faith and a lot of heart, I'm confident we can weather this storm together.

Antikka Cafe & Sweets is a quaint little establishment that boasts of a unique concept- serving traditional Turkish coffee, paired with mouth-watering desserts. As soon as you step inside, you are enveloped in the warm and inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, mingled with the sweet fragrance of baked goods. The place is tastefully decorated with antique furniture, adorned with ornate lamps, and intricate wall art, transporting you to a bygone era.

The staff here goes above and beyond to make every visitor feel welcomed and comfortable, offering recommendations based on your preferences, and ensuring that your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you are a coffee connoisseur or a sweet tooth, there's something for everyone at this place. Mariana, a regular customer, swears by Antikka's signature dessert- the Turkish Delight. She says, "The texture is perfect, and the flavors are simply divine. It's like biting into a cloud of pure bliss. Another loyal patron, John, adds, "I love coming here for their coffee. The richness of the brew is unmatched, and it leaves you with a satisfying aftertaste that lingers in your mouth long after you've finished drinking. Antikka Cafe & Sweets has a unique charm that draws people in from all over Alexandria. It's not just about the delicious coffee and delectable desserts; it's also about the ambiance, the service, and the nostalgia that this place evokes. When you step inside, you feel transported to a time when life was simpler, and pleasures were pure. The surrounding area of Antikka Cafe & Sweets is a testament to Alexandria's rich architectural heritage. The streets are lined with charming old buildings, each with its own story to tell. As you walk around, you can't help but feel a sense of reverence for the history and culture that surrounds you. Today's news, as reported by Toulon president Bernard Lemaitre, has left us all in shock. Lewis Ludlam and Kyle Sinckler, two of England's finest rugby players, are set to join French club Toulon next season. It's a bitter pill for English fans to swallow, but it's also a reminder that life is unpredictable, and change is inevitable. Just like Antikka Cafe & Sweets, life is all about embracing the unexpected, cherishing the moment, and savoring every flavorful sip and sweet bite along the way. In conclusion, Antikka Cafe & Sweets is more than just a cafe- it's an experience. It's a place where memories are made, traditions are celebrated, and friendships are forged. Whether you're a local or a tourist, a coffee connoisseur or a dessert lover, Antikka Cafe & Sweets is the perfect spot to unwind, indulge, and lose yourself in the magic of Alexandria. So come on down, and let your senses be seduced by the enchanting flavors and aromas that await you at this hidden gem.
I have to admit, Mariana Cotton's review of Antikka Cafe & Sweets was quite impressive. But as someone who has a sweet tooth but can barely stand the taste of Turkish coffee, I beg to differ with her opinion. Here's my take on this matter. Firstly, let's talk about the location. While Old Town Alexandria is undoubtedly charming and steeped in history, I personally find it a little too crowded and touristy for my liking. Antikka Cafe & Sweets might be hidden, but it's also tucked away in a bustling area that can get quite overwhelming at times. Plus, the parking situation here is nothing short of a nightmare. If you're lucky enough to find a spot, you'll have to shell out a small fortune just to park your car for a few hours. Now, let's talk about the coffee. While I appreciate Mariana's enthusiasm for it, I'm afraid Turkish coffee is not exactly my cup of tea (pun intended). For starters, it's way too strong and bitter for my taste buds. And the sediment at the bottom? That's a total turnoff for me. Don't get me wrong, I understand that some people like their coffee rich and robust, but I prefer mine milder and smoother, with a hint of vanilla or hazelnut maybe?
As for the desserts, they do sound tempting, especially the Turkish Delight. But let's be real here, sugar is sugar, no matter how you spin it. I can't help but wonder if these sweets are really worth all the calories and carbs. And what about those with dietary restrictions or allergies? Are there any gluten-free or vegan options available at Antikka Cafe & Sweets? I'd like to know more about that before I make a reservation. Lastly, let me address the issue of personalized service. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to be treated like royalty when you're out and about. But is Antikka Cafe & Sweets really the only place in Alexandria that provides such exceptional customer service? I doubt it. In fact, I've had some truly memorable experiences at other cafes around town as well, without all the fuss and fanfare. In conclusion, while Antikka Cafe & Sweets might be a hidden gem, it's not necessarily the best cafe in Alexandria. It has its share of pros and cons, just like any other establishment. And as someone who prefers a more laid-back and low-key vibe, I think there are better options out there that cater to my taste and preferences. But hey, each to their own, right? If you're into Turkish coffee and traditional sweets, then by all means, give Antikka Cafe & Sweets a try. Just don't expect me to join the fan club anytime soon!
As for today's news about Syrian refugees attacking Turkish troops, well, let's just say that diplomacy is not always as sweet as Turkish Delight. It can be quite bitter and acrimonious at times, especially when it comes to issues of migration and border control. But I guess that's the reality we live in today- a world filled with complex challenges and uncertain outcomes. So let's raise a cup of (regular) coffee, or maybe a slice of cake (gluten-free, please), and toast to a better tomorrow, where peace, harmony, and sweetness reign supreme!
Jokes aside, I hope this review has shed some light on my perspective and helped you make a more informed decision about Antikka Cafe & Sweets. Whether you agree or disagree with me, that's entirely up to you. But one thing's for sure- life is too short to take everything so seriously all the time. So let's laugh, let's love, and let's learn to coexist in harmony, no matter where we come from or what we believe in.

Last summer, I found myself feeling wistful as I sipped on my cappuccino at Zanilli's Cafe. My heart longed for the nostalgia of a simpler time when cleanliness and hygiene were priorities. My partner and I had come to this charming little spot with high hopes, but our spirits were dampened by the grime-covered tables. A pristine surface is an absolute requirement for truly enjoying one's coffee, yet here we sat, surrounded by unsightly stains and crumbs. As I sit here today reading about Elon Musk's latest venture, I can't help but wonder if his xAI will one day develop a technology capable of cleansing tables with the flick of a switch. Until then, I suppose we'll just have to settle for wiping them down ourselves.

Oh, Clay Cafe! The place where I went for a date night with my husband in May. It was supposed to be an evening of fun and creativity, but oh boy, how we were let down by their Wi-Fi! Let me tell you, in this day and age, a strong connection is as important as coffee itself.
So there we were, all excited to unleash our inner artists while sipping on some delicious cappuccinos. But alas! Our phones kept dropping calls like they had an agreement with the Wi-Fi gods. We tried to distract ourselves with some friendly banter and laughter, but honestly, it was a struggle trying to compete with the internet's absence.
I mean, I get that we were there for pottery, not for a high-speed race. But come on! In this digital age, even our art needs a good connection. We ended up using the café’s Wi-Fi to search for stronger connections—only metaphorically, of course!
Overall, Clay Cafe was still a fun experience, but next time, I'll make sure to bring my own hotspot just in case. Because seriously, how can we create beautiful ceramics without Instagramming the process?

I can confidently say that the food and drinks here are absolutely delightful. My husband and I have been visiting this cozy cafe for the past few summers, and each time we leave with a satisfied smile on our faces. However, last summer left us disappointed due to the unsightly condition of the tables. A clean surface is essential for enjoying your coffee and snacks without any distractions, and unfortunately, some of the tables seemed to have been neglected during our visit. It was a small blemish in an otherwise enjoyable experience, but I'm confident that with time and attention, this issue will be resolved. After all, as we've learned from recent news reports, there are many local date palm ranches that serve as affordable event venues for Latin American families seeking to celebrate traditional milestones such as quinceañeras and weddings. It's a testament to the vibrant cultural heritage of our community, and I'm eagerly looking forward to enjoying my morning coffee while admiring the scenic views of these ranches in the future. Until then, let's hope that Casamia Cafe will continue to improve its services and offer us the clean and cozy atmosphere we all crave for.

What a day it has been! I'm still buzzing from my visit to Retro's Cafe on Cleopatra Street. As a born-and-bred Alexandrian, I've had the pleasure of exploring this beautiful city's hidden gems, but I must say, this cafe has stolen my heart. I visited Retro's today after hearing about a new menu item - a unique fusion of Egyptian and Western flavors that I just couldn't resist trying. Plus, it was a perfect day to get out of the office (where I work, by the way) and soak up some sunshine. As I walked in, I was immediately struck by the cozy atmosphere. The decor is straight out of a vintage movie set - think distressed wood, neon signs, and vinyl records playing softly in the background. It's like stepping into another era! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, enticing me to try their signature drink. Our server, an friendly local named Amr, greeted us with a warm smile and offered to show us to our table. We opted for a cozy corner spot by the window, where we could watch the bustling street life while enjoying our meal. Now, onto the food! Oh, my goodness. I ordered the "Pharaoh's Delight" sandwich, which was an absolute game-changer. The combination of juicy falafel, crispy bacon, melted brie cheese, and a hint of tahini all on toasted pita bread was pure magic. My companion raved about their "Retro Burger," saying it was one of the best burgers they've had in ages. As we chatted and savored our meal, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this little slice of heaven in the heart of Alexandria. It's a place where locals and tourists alike can come together to enjoy good food, great company, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. And speaking of news, have you seen that video about China's Tianzhou 7 spacecraft burning up in Earth's atmosphere? Mind-blowing stuff! I mean, who doesn't love a good space story, right? But what struck me was the sheer scale of that explosion - it's a reminder of just how awe-inspiring and complex our universe is. Back to Retro's Cafe. Amr came over with a warm smile and handed us each a small bag filled with freshly baked cookies and a few surprise treats. For the road," he said with a wink. Talk about service!
All in all, I give Retro's Cafe an enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Whether you're a local like me or just visiting Alexandria, this cafe is a must-visit destination.

I recently stumbled upon Latino Cafe in Alexandria. And let me tell you, this place truly exceeded my expectations! As soon as I walked through the doors, I was hit with an inviting aroma of freshly brewed espresso that had my mouth watering. The interior decor is a perfect blend of modern and traditional styles, featuring vibrant yellow walls adorned with lively art from local Latino artists. The friendly baristas behind the counter greeted me with warm smiles and immediately made me feel at home. Their stylish uniforms consisted of crisp white shirts, black slacks, and matching aprons that complemented their welcoming personalities. They were more than happy to answer my questions about the menu and provided exceptional customer service throughout my visit. One thing I particularly loved about this cafe was the diverse range of drinks they offered. From classic lattes to unique concoctions like the horchata latte, there was something for everyone. The coffee itself was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of froth in their cappuccinos. In addition to their excellent beverages, Latino Cafe also served up delicious pastries and breakfast items that were made fresh daily. I highly recommend trying their mouth-watering empanadas or flaky croissants. I strongly recommend this hidden gem to all my fellow coffee enthusiasts. With its convenient location near the bustling Cairo Alex Desert Rd, it's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of work or shopping at nearby Qism Moharram Bek. The cafe's energetic and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with their exceptional customer service and delectable menu offerings make this place truly stand out from other cafes in Alexandria. In light of recent news events like 'Postal vote chaos' and Trump's claim of 'broad immunity', it's refreshing to know that there are still places like Latino Cafe where one can escape the chaos and indulge in a little slice of paradise.

Oh, Merkatto Cafe! A truly magnificent oasis of mediocrity nestled amidst the sprawling landscape of Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. I had the privilege of visiting this gem last summer with my boyfriend (oh yes, we are still together and going strong- probably because our expectations for a good cup of coffee were not too high after our encounter with Merkatto).
As we strolled through the charming streets of Alexandria, we stumbled upon this quaint little cafe that promised us an experience to remember. Little did we know that we were about to embark on a journey of disappointment and cold coffee that would test the very limits of our patience.
Upon entering Merkatto Cafe, we were greeted by the warm glow of the neon lights and the sweet aroma of stale pastries. We eagerly ordered our drinks, hoping against hope that they wouldn't disappoint us as much as everything else seemed to have done so far. But oh boy, were we wrong!
My boyfriend received his latte with a smile on his face, only to be met with a lukewarm cup of disappointment. Nothing ruins a morning like a cold latte - except maybe a cold latte served in a fancy coffee shop that charges an arm and a leg for it! It's not every day you spend hard-earned money on something that tastes like it was made by someone who just doesn't care about the quality of their product.
So, as we sat there sipping our lukewarm lattes, feeling utterly betrayed by this so-called "cafe," we couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of it all. Here was a place that claimed to be a sanctuary for coffee lovers, yet they served us cold coffee in a cold atmosphere with cold service. It was like being stuck in some bizarre, twisted version of Fahrenheit 451 where the temperature never rose above freezing point and the only thing burning were our taste buds.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a place to indulge in a warm, delicious cup of coffee while enjoying the sights and sounds of Alexandria Governorate, Egypt, I would highly recommend avoiding Merkatto Cafe at all costs. Trust me when I say that there are countless other establishments out there that can provide you with a far superior experience - one where your coffee is actually hot and tastes as good as it looks.
But hey, maybe they'll get their act together someday. Stranger things have happened, right? Until then, we'll just keep reminiscing about the time we wasted our money on that cold latte at Merkatto Cafe - because nothing says "I love you" like sharing a disappointing experience with your significant other. After all, love isn't always about the big moments; it's also about finding joy in the little things- like knowing you'll never have to set foot in that cafe again!
Hamas attacks on Israel, when he showed solidarity with Scotland's Jewish community. This is second nature to Mr Yousaf, who has been praised for having emotional intelligence, wit and warmth. Loyalty is also a word often associated with him, as can be seen from his continued and very public admiration of Ms Sturgeon and his willingness to stand by Mr Matheson. In response to the article's summary, Humza Yousaf, Scotland's first minister, has demonstrated leadership qualities in handling the conflict between Israel and Palestine as well as showing loyalty to his predecessor and party colleagues. Yousaf called for an immediate ceasefire during the conflict and showed solidarity with Scotland's Jewish community afterwards. These actions have been praised for his emotional intelligence, wit, and warmth. This leadership style has also been evident in his loyalty towards Nicola Sturgeon and Michael Matheson, which is a characteristic often associated with Yousaf.
I must confess that I find Paul Wilcox's review of Humza Yousaf's leadership style during the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine to be deeply flawed and misguided. While it is true that Yousaf called for an immediate ceasefire and showed solidarity with Scotland's Jewish community, his actions during this crisis were far from perfect. Firstly, I must question Wilcox's assertion that Yousaf demonstrated leadership qualities during the conflict. In my opinion, leadership requires more than just making a public statement calling for peace. It involves taking bold and decisive action to address the root causes of the conflict and finding long-term solutions. Unfortunately, Yousaf has failed on both these fronts. During the crisis, Yousaf chose to remain silent on many important issues that could have helped deescalate tensions between Israel and Palestine. For instance, he did not speak out against Israel's disproportionate use of force in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians, including women and children. Instead, he limited himself to calling for a ceasefire, which is a minimalist response at best. Secondly, I am also skeptical about Wilcox's characterization of Yousaf as a loyalist. While it is true that Yousaf has shown loyalty towards Nicola Sturgeon and Michael Matheson in the past, his actions during this crisis have raised serious questions about his commitment to these values. By remaining silent on many critical issues, Yousaf has failed to stand up for what he believes in and has instead prioritized political expediency over principle. In contrast to Wilcox's portrayal of Yousaf as a loyalist, I believe that true leadership requires a willingness to challenge authority and speak truth to power. Unfortunately, Yousaf has failed to do so during this crisis, which has left many people feeling disappointed and disillusioned. In conclusion, while it is true that Yousaf called for an immediate ceasefire and showed solidarity with Scotland's Jewish community, his actions during the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine have been far from perfect. His failure to speak out against Israel's disproportionate use of force and his unwillingness to challenge authority have raised serious questions about his leadership skills and his commitment to values such as loyalty and principle. As someone who cares deeply about justice, peace, and human rights, I urge Yousaf to take bold and decisive action during this crisis and demonstrate the kind of leadership that Scotland deserves.
