I am not paid to do advertising, and I do normally write about places only after I have visited them and collected good impressions, but I was somehow intrigued by the entrepreneurial courage and enthusiasm of the team behind the Bikya Bookcafe so I decided that they do deserve a post that will hopefully bring some of you readers to this new venue to try it out. And, on the top of it, as far as I know there are no venues of this kind in Nasr City, a place that attracts out-of-neighborhood guests mostly for City Stars and a couple of good restaurants.
So, what is (or rather what's going to be, as it opens on March 3rd) Bikya Bookcafe? I'll leave it to them to entice you:
'If you just love the history and antiquity of a second-hand book or just looking for something a little bit cheaper but don't relish the hellish markets for second-hand books, then you should definitely check us out. You can browse our wide selection of books, you can relax and read an afternoon away in a place so cosy, you'll never want to leave.
And what best accompanies a book? A tasty treat. We have coffee, tea, tarts, sandwiches and baked goodies... you name it. We also take book requests, so if we don't have it, we'll do our best to find it for you. And if you're looking to sell, well, look no more!
There's never a dull moment here, so be sure to keep your schedule free for all our events. If you're a fan of music, comedy, want to learn something new, or debate a subject, you're always welcome to come join us.'
Our Opening weekend starts on Thursday the 3rd of March, with various local performances and lots of surprises!
