Quella Gelato Cafe, Cairo 06-2021

Wondering around Zamalek in 47C meant we needed a little respite from the heat. Gelato happened to be conveniently passed in this cute little modern cafe that also meant a more pleasant air conditioned seat too. Although the pure heat did mean that it still felt warm inside there, the gelato made up for it.

Other than my usual pistachio (nutty, good colour, very good), we tried mastic which is apparently resin from a tree and has a bubble gummy type perfume essence to it - as you can see it's difficult to describe. Worth a try for a local flavour.

The waffle cones are made fresh and moulded into a wavy pattern for a little art.

I noticed there's a higher rated Stavolta nearby but this one was perfectly acceptable.
