☕ DRINK THIS TONIGHT-

Coffee with a cool backstory: Located in Maadi, Villa Sumatra is a labor of love. Starting as an idea where father and son wanted to open their own coffee place and with the son, Haytham Al Aamer, fulfilling the dream as his father passed away before he could see the project come to fruition. Villa Sumatra in Degla is not just a coffee place — you can go there after work for a fresh salad, such as their caramelized onion and mushroom rocca salad, or a quick sourdough bagel, or sample one of their smoothies or coffee concoction. Villa Sumatra is also an initiative where Al Aamer has taken it upon himself to develop a quality drink based on quality relationships with farmers in Indonesia — one of the world’s leading coffee bean producers and exporters. By collaborating closely with farming communities, Villa Sumatra helps bean producers increase their income while creating the highest-quality coffee. Villa Sumatra also contributes to minimizing the mechanical processing of beans for a more sustainable operation with a lower carbon footprint. As fall looms ever closer, make sure to pass by the villa and enjoy a rich cup of joe in their cozy garden along with a croissant or fresh salad. You can also purchase the beans here and enjoy your coffee at home.
