Ralph's German Bakery was made in Germany, founded in Dahab, moved to Cairo almost a couple of years ago, and it has been booming since then. It serves one of the best cups of coffee in town, in addition to the art you can taste in their pastry options.
If you wake up on a Saturday, feeling like filling your system with your morning coffee dose in the sun, Ralph’s German Bakery should be one of your designated destinations. It will recharge your energy with love, warmth, and coziness.
The Laugen cheese and Laugen rolle are two options of pastry that I normally order twice, once to eat there while sipping on my honey latte macchiato, and the other ones to take home for late-night enjoyment.
The Bavarian baked goodies they serve, together with their slow cooking recipes, are to kill for. A single bite from a baked item from their kitchen is more than enough to make you keep asking for more. An added bonus: the friendliness of the staff and the convenience of the surroundings.
