Zedan Roastery

you can taste the giza heat in every shot zedan pulls. their cairo specialty espresso hits different when it's roasted by someone who grew up breathing this city's dust and diesel fumes. the crema holds thick as tahini, with notes that remind you of cardamom vendors in khan el-khalili. ahmed zedan treats each bean like family heirloom seeds, coaxing out flavors that most cairo roasters miss completely. the espresso burns slow and sweet, leaving your tongue tingling with something unmistakably egyptian.
