Winter has arrived, which means that aside from boots, coats, and scarves, hot drinks are the ultimate safe haven to keep warm. There are plenty of hot beverages Egyptians sip on during the cold season, but only one is a true favorite in Egypt and abroad; no one can resist a warm cup of hot chocolate.
Since winter is never complete without a warm cup of cocoa, Egyptian Streets asked some of its readers to choose the best spots in Cairo for the perfect hot chocolate, and here’s a list of the most recommended places.
Circle K
This is not one’s typical place for a hot drink. However, Circle K’s hot chocolate is creamy, thick, and the perfect balance between sweet and bitter.
