Zacks Bakery in Cairo is a literal underground place for any kind of underground gathering or a moment you might need to take with yourself.

It has laid-back chairs, couches and a borrowable bookshelf where you can actually grab a book while being there and immediately dive into its pages. From the moment you first walk in, the energy of the place will smoothly transfer to your soul, enriching it with a homey feeling.

Personally speaking, I am not the type of person who would go somewhere far from where they reside just to grab coffee, but Zacks just makes the 30-minute ride worth every sip of coffee and every bite of their irresistible desserts.

It is the sort of zone any human needs to unleash your mind, read, write, draw, go on a date or just stare at the ceiling with no purpose in mind but finding inner peace.
