The American multinational doughnut giant made its way to Egypt a few years back. Since then, the franchise has kept popping up in different spots around the city, including Zamalek, Dokki, and Cairo Festival City Mall. Dunkin Donuts boasts an aesthetically pleasing edge, from hot pink and green apple glazes to the fun coconut shreds and coloured sprinkles. Dunkin Donuts also serves coffee, wraps, bagels, sandwiches, croissants, and much more alongside their ever-changing doughnut selection.

Almost everyone has tried the classic glazed chocolate doughnuts from TBS at least once in their lifetime! Those freshly baked and perfectly glazed doughnuts have been a crowd-pleaser for quite some time now. TBS is undoubtedly a bakery that still holds its ground with its fantastic selection of quality baked goods, sandwiches and desserts. Recently, stuffed doughnuts have been added to their menu; blueberry, Lotus, Nutella, pistachio, and more.

Give them a try from any nearby branch (Maadi, Zamalek, Heliopolis, Dokki, Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo, and Nasr City) or call their hotline 16679 for orders.

Another franchise made its way to Egypt, but not with the same popularity as the others in Cairo. Dixie Cream doughnuts are fun, colourful, and appealing. You can try their array of doughnuts alongside their coffee and sandwiches as well. You can find Dixie Cream in Cairo Festival City Mall, Downtown Mall, and City Stars Mall – worth a try!
