Have you tried Mōko chocolates yet? This Egyptian chocolatier has only three branches in Cairo, one in Sheikh Zayed’s Arkan Plaza and the other two in New Cairo’s District 5 and Uvenues.

It resembles a Willy Wonka factory with all the different shapes, colors, flavors, and types of chocolates. The diverse array of artisanal chocolates covers every taste bud from Egyptian Lime to Creamy Peanut Butter flavored chocolate. They even have ice cream, brownies, crepes, waffles, cookies, macarons, pastries, drinks, and more.

We tried their hot chocolate, crepes, and chocolate bars. We were surprised to know that they do offer hot chocolate with dairy alternatives that didn't alter the taste (hurrah). The drink was still velvety smooth and had just the right amount of sweetness. For our first desserts, we went for the crepe with chocolate and strawberries: The cocoa-infused spread is even better than Nutella (sorry, fans), and the strawberries were freshly picked. We also picked two chocolate bars, the Praline n’ Pistache, and the Praline n’ Hazel — and yes, we licked our fingers afterwards.

This could be a good spot to get some sun on a cooler day and get some work done — but don’t overdose on the sugar. The seating area is quite cozy with a few chairs and tables enough for you to also enjoy your treat and go. But their chocolate bars are available on a number of delivery services, which they have listed in their highlights under ‘Find Us’, that includes Talabat, Breadfast, Rabbit, Botit, Gourmet and more — but for the other stuff you’ll have to make the trip to the store.

Mōko is definitely not just a place to get a treat, it’s an experience — and we can happily say for all our gluten-intolerant readers that their chocolates are gluten-free, but for our lactose-intolerant readers, it just might be worth the stomach ache. They also make lovely gifts to carry along with you on visits as their boxes present the chocolates beautifully.
