This Maadi Hole in The Wall (Literally) Now Serves Sugarcane Coffee
The outcome is something that tastes like a farm field, a late-night study session, and a questionable dare all at once.
Maadi has many mysteries. Chief among them right now is a section of white wall with a square hole in it. Just a hole. You speak into it. At some point, a hand slides out a drink. It’s the closest thing Cairo has to a caffeine speakeasy, and it’s called Cococo - although the wall itself is keeping quiet about it.
The latest dispatch from this caffeine portal: sugarcane coffee. For context, sugarcane juice in Egypt is less a beverage and more a civil right - served cold, sweet enough to make dentists wince, and usually consumed while debating politics or football. Cococo has now introduced it to espresso. This produces something that tastes like a farm field, a late-night study session, and a questionable dare all at once.
You don’t browse, you don’t linger, you don’t even see the espresso machine. You just wait for the hand to reappear, pass you your cup, and vanish again. Only caffeine, sugar, and the lingering suspicion that you’ve just participated in something slightly illegal.
