The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

In the ever-evolving world of food trends, Cairo has welcomed a delightful treat that has quickly captured our hearts and taste buds: the croffle! In the last few years, it has been popularised in South Korea and then spread throughout the world.

A clever fusion of the classic croissant and waffle, the croffle combines the buttery, flaky layers of a croissant with the crispy, golden edges of a waffle.
