9 Non-Smoking Cafés and Restaurants in Cairo

If you’re the only one of your friends who doesn’t smoke then you probably know the struggle of finding somewhere to hang out where there’s no one puffing in your face as you try to eat your burger in peace. We’ve put together a list of non-smoking cafés in Cairo to try and make your life easier.

Café Greco

This premium coffee house needs no introduction. If you’re not from Maadi then you probably haven’t been blessed with the opportunity to taste their delicious Espresso Macchiato or Cappuccino yet - but you'll probably have already heard how good it is from every single Maadian you've ever met. But the coffee and the vintage feel aren’t the only reasons we love this place, we also love it for its free Wi-Fi and if you're a non smoker, you'll love it even more.

Fika Swedish Coffee Break

For colorful interior design and a hot cup of coffee on your way to work in Sheikh Zayed, Fika Swedish Coffee house is your number one for non-smokers. We recommend the Very Vanilla Latte for some caffeinated goodness to get you through the morning without committing homicide - paired with anything from their awesome breakfast menu.

Shakespeare & Co.

Leave the 21^st century behind and head into 16^th century Shakespearean at any one of Shakespeare and Co’s four branches all over Cairo. Stepping into Shakespeare and Co is like stepping into a different time zone - except you still have your handy iPhone to immediately Instagram the quirky vintage interiors. Because if you step into the 16th century and you don't Instagram it, then did it really happen?

It's said that the best pancakes in the world are in Canada but we think they're in in Zamalek's Little Ovio. For a smoke free breakfast that can give the Canadians a run for their money that's where you should be heading.
