Coffee and a cinnamon roll at T3 before your next leg
This Cinnabon sits airside in Terminal 3, handy if you’re transiting between EgyptAir flights and need sugar and caffeine more than a real meal. Pricing lands in the mid-range ($$ by airport standards), with classic rolls and coffee usually cheaper than grabbing a full plate at the bigger sit‑down spots in T3.
It’s on the departures side of Terminal 3, past security, so you can grab something after clearing formalities for an early EgyptAir departure around 06:00 or a late evening bank around 22:00. Expect the usual menu: classic cinnamon rolls, minibons, and coffee drinks; nothing unique to Cairo, but familiar if you’ve seen Cinnabon at other airports.
Figure about 80–120 EGP for a roll and similar again for a basic coffee, which keeps a stop here under 250 EGP unless you start adding extra pastries. Portions are standard Cinnabon size, easily enough to count as breakfast before a 4–5 hour flight to Europe or the Gulf from Terminal 3.
Reviews mention it as a time‑killer: one traveler said they “killed an hour at Cinnabon in T3 with coffee and a cinnamon roll” instead of walking loops of the concourse. That tracks with the layout in Terminal 3, where seating around the gates near F and G often feels more relaxed than at the food outlets themselves.
Watch out for late‑night visits after about 23:00, when multiple reports say pastries can sit in the case for hours and lose that just‑baked texture. If you’re on a 02:00 or 03:00 departure to Asia or Europe, ask directly when the tray was last baked before you pay.
Regular transit passengers often grab coffee and a single roll here, then carry everything to their actual gate in Terminal 3, where power outlets and spare seats are easier to find. Do the same: order to go, then walk 5–10 minutes toward your gate and settle in there.
