The 12 Best Cairo Spots for Lotus Lovers

Step aside Nutella, there’s a sweet new treat spreading around Cairo and it's not chocolate flavoured. Lotus biscuits are golden, crunchy, caramelized biscuits served best with a cup of tea or in just about any dessert. Here are 10 places in Cairo where you can enjoy Lotus-infused desserts.

Nola Cupcakes: Lotus Cupcake // Zamalek, Maadi, 6th of October, Sheikh Zayed, Mohandessin, New Cairo, Madinaty, Dokki, Heliopolis, Rehab City, Nasr City

The best part of eating a cupcake is that you can enjoy it without making a mess. When it comes to this particular cupcake though, we cannot guarantee a mess-free experience.

Sweet buns of cinnamon drizzled with heavenly buttercream frosting. “It can't get any better” we told ourselves, “they can’t top this”. Well… they just did. With Lotus crumble. And we love it.
