Bites & Crumbs: Egypt's Homegrown Answer to the Crumbl Cookie Craze
Local, high-quality ingredients and homemade indulgence, that's just how the cookie crumbles at cloud bakery Bites & Crumbs.
Apr 16, 2025
For months, Crumbl Cookie reviews from the US have flooded our feeds, tempting us with thick, gooey cookies we couldn't get our hands on. But now, Bites & Crumbs is bringing that same indulgence to Cairo, offering handcrafted cookies and desserts with a local twist.
Founder and baker Motaz Osman has been passionate about baking since childhood. 'I grew up watching my mother bake, and as I got older, I became more involved,' he tells SceneEats. Baking eventually became his love language. 'I fell in love with making desserts, and I started gifting everything I made to friends and loved ones.' His passion soon turned into a dream of opening his own bakery. This year, he finally took the leap, launching Bites & Crumbs as a delivery-only bakery serving New Cairo.
Inspired by the Crumbl Cookie craze, Osman perfected his own recipe—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and made entirely from high-quality local ingredients. The menu features indulgent flavours like pistachio cream, Lotus, and rich dark chocolate. But cookies aren't the only stars of the show—his fudge brownies and decadent dessert jars (think konafa pistachio, Bueno, and Nutella) are just as irresistible.
And it's all handmade by Osman himself—sometimes even delivered by him, too. 'I prioritise using local, high-quality ingredients,' he shares. 'Everything is made with the same care as a homemade treat.'
So if you're craving warm, chewy indulgence this Ramadan without leaving your home, Bites & Crumbs might just be your new go-to.

Saudi-Born A/N Tea Opens Quiet New Outpost in Cairo's Zamalek
Saudi-Born A/N Tea Opens Quiet New Outpost in Cairo's Zamalek After opening in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, A/N Tea has made its way to Zamalek, bringing a quietly curated tea menu and simple social ethos to a neighbourhood steeped in its own rhythms. Tea is a relic that somehow never feels outdated and yet, in a world brimming with turmeric lattes and QR-coded cafés, the simple pleasure of a proper cup of tea often gets lost in the froth. Born in the city of Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, to celebrate the enduring modesty of tea, A/N Tea is now steeping in a new setting—Zamalek. The tea-focused café opened its second location in the leafy Cairo neighbourhood just six months ago, marking a shift from the Gulf's eastern coastline to the Egyptian capital's island district. Founded by friends Annas Yoseif and Abdullah, A/N Tea began with an offhand idea during one of many casual hangouts in tea shops. 'We were just always hanging around in tea shops. One day we thought, why don't we open our own?' Yoseif tells SceneEats. The first space opened in Khobar with a clear mission: keep it simple, keep it social. That same approach has travelled to Zamalek. The café serves only tea and sandwiches—no trending add-ons, no bubble tea, no matcha foams. Instead, A/N Tea's menu draws from familiar blends like mint, habak, and karak, and includes regional favourites such as maramiya, a Taif-native sage leaf. 'We built our menu around the belief that tea should be drunk as it is,' Yoseif says. The café's Cairo location reflects its low-frills philosophy. Housed in a minimal yet warm space, A/N Tea in Zamalek aims to create room for conversation rather than spectacle. 'The main vision was to create a place that resembles a sort of common ground,' Yoseif explains. 'A place where people from different backgrounds can come and bond over the shared comfort of a good tea. We wanted to create a warm space for everyone. Our branch in Egypt echoes the way people live here - it's so beautiful, everyone appreciates simplicity.' What defines A/N Tea, beyond its limited menu, is its focus on precision. 'We steam the tea leaves so all the flavour comes directly from them,' Yoseif says. 'You'll taste the best tea of your life.' By moving from Khobar to Cairo, A/N Tea hasn't reinvented itself—it has simply planted its model in a new kind of city rhythm. In Zamalek, where quiet conversations and slow days still have a place, its arrival feels less like a disruption and more like a natural pause.

A Step In the Right Direction: Egyptians to Face Fine for Returning a Sponsored Child to a Foster Home
News of a new policy introduced by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, which imposes a 20,000 EGP fine on any family that decides to return a sponsored child to a state-run foster home, is going viral. This announcement comes following the release of one of Ramadan's most talked-about shows, Welad El Shams, prompting many to draw a direct link between the drama's storyline and the timing of this policy. The goal is clearly to ensure that the decision to sponsor a child under the kafala system is not taken lightly but rather treated with deep seriousness and long-term commitment from the foster families. However, public opinion has been divided, with some questioning the impact of enforcing such policy. Could the fear of a fine force foster families to keep children they're not emotionally invested in, leaving those children to suffer in environments lacking love and genuine care? So, what do you think about this new policy? Will it truly make a difference, or does it need to be complemented with stronger first-stage assessments, ensuring that only families who are psychologically and emotionally prepared for fostering are allowed to take that step?
