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

The new talk of the town is SAINTS, nestled inside BRGR trucks around the capital. This hot spot for coffee and matcha has been gaining vast recognition. To unveil the truth behind the hype, we took one for the team and headed to the closest SAINTS branch. Here’s everything you need to know about this renowned location.

SAINTS offers a diner-like, laid-back vibe, making it ideal for a gossip session with your best friend over a cold or warm drink. The staff is extremely friendly, though be prepared for a slight wait due to the crowds. While famous for their coffee and matcha, SAINTS also presents a fantastic range of drinks, including mojitos and lemonades, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Are you health-conscious? A caffeine addict? A matcha enthusiast? They’ve got you covered!

Kicking off our night, we opted for a caffeine boost with the go-to iced white mocha (EGP 130). Rich and creamy, this drink featured generous, refreshing coffee, perfectly complemented by the spot-on white mocha that created an amazing harmony.

Next, we tried their renowned matcha, which impressed us with its variety of flavours. We chose the matcha and coconut cream (EGP 180), and it exceeded our expectations. The use of coconut water added a delightful twist without making it too light or tasteless; instead, it delivered a great kick. Matcha lovers will appreciate that the dreaded bitter aftertaste was absent for the first time, making this drink spot on.

From their mojito and lemonade menu, we sampled the piña colada (EGP 120), which genuinely stood out. It offered a fresh taste of summer, with each component shining through, all enveloped by a zesty kick of lemon that made the drink flawless.

Overall, the hype surrounding SAINTS is indeed true. The drinks are exceptional and far from your average coffee place. Each item is well-curated and crafted with passion, catering to every palate.
