Oh, It was no Starbucks.
You see, the Naguib Mahfouz Coffee Shop was unlike other coffee shops......
Why you could order your coffee from a smiling man with a vest decorated with gold.
Then get your shoes shined by a charming fellow in a red fez.
Then, while waiting, sit back and pretend to look blase while secretly admiring..... the utter boldness of it all.
You might be served on golden plates...........on a golden table. 
And under the painted ceiling with the prettiest lights...........you had only one question........... 
More coffee please?
