Fati’s Bakery is Now Officially Open at New Cairo's U Venues

If you happen to find yourself in New Cairo’s U Venues and mistake the crowd for a pop-up Beyoncé concert, relax. It’s just Fati’s—finally opening its first permanent bakery.

Fatma Youssef, Cairo’s reigning queen of doughnuts, cinnamon roll cookies, and generalised dessert temptation, has unlocked the doors to a space that promises the same sugar-fuelled chaos her Instagram has been inciting for months. Those who’ve spent the past year zooming in on her pancake doughnuts and wondering if “carrot cake doughnut” counts as a vegetable, your moment has arrived.

There’s talk of new surprises—possibly more inventions from her sweet laboratory of madness. The woman who once turned sweet potatoes into a doughnut concoction is unlikely to stop now. The space itself? Expect it to smell like butter and rebellion, with Fati’s signature warmth and mischief everywhere you look.

The only real question is whether you’ll manage to make it inside before the queue loops around U Venues and starts resembling a small music festival.
