Gourmand
Cairo's dedicated gluten-free bakery.
Cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls, eclairs.
Returning to Madinaty Summer 2026.
No. 01 Manifesto
Gourmand is Cairo's dedicated gluten-free bakery, opened with a single intention. Make gluten-free that doesn't taste like a compromise.
Chef Ahmed grew up in Tunisia and spent his early years in Paris, learning by being close to French dough. He brought that sensibility to Cairo, opening the first Gourmand in Nasr City in 2020. One of the first 100% gluten-free bakeries in Egypt. For six years a small loyal community ate here. Celiac patients, families with gluten sensitivity, and anyone tired of compromising on dessert.
The Nasr City chapter is closed. Madinaty is the next one. Opening Summer 2026, serving all of east Cairo.
A working bakery makes a handful of things very well, not many things adequately. Below, what comes out of our kitchen on a typical day.
Baked hot and fast so the top burns deeply and the centre stays barely-set, soft as custard. Crustless, naturally gluten-free, no compromise. The cake everyone agrees is better the day after.
The reviewers who walked into the Nasr City shop kept coming back for these. Soft, generous swirl, brown sugar deep into the dough. Premium, Cinnabon-style, but 100% gluten-free.
Hollow shells, crisp on the outside, custard within. Chocolate signature daily, premium variants rotating. A small French luxury, fully gluten-free.
Fudgy, dense, almost-underbaked the way it should be. We use proper chocolate and skip the cocoa powder shortcut. Single squares at the counter, 3-pack boxes for delivery.
Premium chocolate chip, brown butter, sea salt finish. Made small batch, baked through the day. Pair with espresso at the pickup window. Sablé and financier gift boxes by request.
"The best guilt-free pastries in Cairo. Everything from the cookies to the cinnabon tasted authentic and not fake. Ten out of ten service."

100% gluten-free facility. Zero wheat flour on the premises. Separate equipment, separate storage, separate prep zones.
Daily production. Nothing held over from yesterday. The cheesecake you eat was baked this morning.
Verified gluten-free ingredients. The inputs are the hard part of GF baking. We take the time to get them right.
By a master baker. Not a recipe scaled from someone else's. Years of craft, shaped in Tunis and Paris.
