A popular venue on the local scene, Zamalek foodie haven Sea Salt Bakery & Café has just added some great new items to its gluten-free, dairy-free andsugar-free menu. Although this is already known as the ‘go to’ place for anyone who is battling food allergies, the food is so enticing it should be on everyone’s short list. Important to know, certified gluten-free baker and owner Passand El Hammami ensures that there is no possi
ble contamination of her products by making all products, including milling her own organic gluten-free flour, in-house.
Type of cuisine:
All-day breakfast, soups, salads, rice and gluten-free pasta, wraps, smoothies, bread and cakes for any occasion. This is a boon for kids with food allergies; party time can be a real treat with all the usual goodies, allergen-free.
Signatures Dishes & Dishes Sampled
Zoodles with Shrimp Soup, Falafel Wrap, Shrimp Wrap, Crispy Falafel Wrap, Salmon Superfood Salad, The Monroe Salad, Chocolate Smoothie Bowl and pre and post workout smoothies to-die-for.
At 9 am we needed something to energize us and kick start our day. The Espresso Smoothie did the job perfectly. A blend of espresso, cocoa, banana, almond milk and honey, it kept us humming along very nicely throughout our work-day, and interestingly seemed to reduce any mid-afternoon sugar cravings. We paired it with a Falafel Wrap, a generous portion of falafel, purple cabbage, mixed green leaves, carrot, cucumber, hummus and tahina. Fresh and not the slightest bit oily, it proved to be easy on the digestion as well as filling.
Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverages Available
Suckers as we are for anything with chocolate, we would have to try Lu Lu’s Chocolate Pancakes, and the Eggs Benedict would be tempting as well. We have plans to try the bakery items, based on the easy digestibility of the wrap; maybe we had a hidden gluten intolerance after all! Takeaway and delivery are available.
Beverage options include smoothies, juices, herb and regular tea and coffee.
