Best Coffee Shops in Sharm El Sheikh — Where to Get Good Coffee

Five years ago, getting a proper coffee in Sharm El Sheikh was genuinely difficult. Today the city has a small but real café scene — places with espresso machines, trained baristas, and menus that go beyond Nescafé. Here's where to find them and what to order.

Types of Coffee Available in Sharm

• Espresso-based drinks — americano, latte, cappuccino, flat white at dedicated cafés
• Arabic coffee (qahwa) — cardamom-spiced, served small in a finjan, at traditional cafés
• Turkish coffee (ahwa turki) — strong, unfiltered, cooked in a cezve with sugar to taste
• Nescafé — still widely available at local restaurants and beach clubs
• Cold brew and iced coffee — available at newer café-style restaurants

Best Areas for Coffee in Sharm

Naama Bay has the highest concentration of proper cafés, many of them operating as café-restaurants with full food menus alongside good coffee. Hadaba has more traditional Egyptian ahwa (coffee house) culture — less espresso, more shisha and Turkish coffee, and a very local atmosphere.

Coffee Delivery in Sharm El Sheikh

Several café-restaurants on Bringit offer coffee delivery alongside their food menus. This is particularly useful for hotel guests who want coffee before leaving the room in the morning — order a latte or cappuccino alongside an Egyptian breakfast and it arrives together.

Coffee Etiquette in Sharm

At traditional Egyptian cafés, coffee is cheap (10–20 EGP per cup) and refills are expected. At modern cafés and hotel restaurants, espresso drinks run 50–120 EGP — comparable to European café prices. Both have their place depending on what you're looking for.
