If your idea of a perfect weekend morning involves flowers, brunch, and a very pretty drink, Muscari needs to be on your Cairo list. Tucked away in Zamalek, Muscari is part flower shop, part café, creating a dreamy little escape from the usual brunch spots. The whole concept is inspired by flowers, from the arrangements around the space to the drinks served with flower-shaped ice. And yes, you can actually stop by for brunch and leave with a bouquet.
The menu is full of colorful drinks made for a slow morning. The Pink Cloud combines strawberry purée, milk and whipped cream, then comes topped with a fluffy cloud of candy floss. There’s also Blue Skies with blueberry and Golden Sands with mango. For something a little more unusual, try the Purple Bloom, a bright butterfly pea tea and soda drink served with lemon, mint and flower-shaped ice.
There are also boba teas, floral matcha, rose lattes, pistachio lattes and plenty of classic coffee options. When it comes to food, the heart-shaped waffles are an easy pick, with Nutella, Lotus or pistachio toppings. You can also go for one of the smoothie bowls if you want something lighter.
Muscari also works as a boutique flower shop featuring arrangements by Fleuriste Designs. You can browse the blooms while you’re there or order flowers to enjoy at home. They even offer flower subscriptions, with fresh hand-tied bouquets delivered every two weeks or once a month.
Muscari also hosts flower arrangement workshops, giving you the chance to get creative and learn how to put together your own floral arrangement.
It’s a cute option for a weekend activity, especially if you’re looking for something beyond the usual brunch or coffee plans. Come for the flowers, make your own arrangement, then stay for a drink and something sweet.
