Bites & Crumbs: Egypt’s Homegrown Answer to the Crumbl Cookie Craze

For months, Crumbl Cookie reviews from the US have flooded our feeds, tempting us with thick, gooey cookies we couldn’t get our hands on. But now, Bites & Crumbs is bringing that same indulgence to Cairo, offering handcrafted cookies and desserts with a local twist.

Founder and baker Motaz Osman has been passionate about baking since childhood. “I grew up watching my mother bake, and as I got older, I became more involved,” he tells SceneEats. Baking eventually became his love language. “I fell in love with making desserts, and I started gifting everything I made to friends and loved ones.” His passion soon turned into a dream of opening his own bakery. This year, he finally took the leap, launching Bites & Crumbs as a delivery-only bakery serving New Cairo.

Inspired by the Crumbl Cookie craze, Osman perfected his own recipe—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and made entirely from high-quality local ingredients. The menu features indulgent flavours like pistachio cream, Lotus, and rich dark chocolate. But cookies aren’t the only stars of the show—his fudge brownies and decadent dessert jars (think konafa pistachio, Bueno, and Nutella) are just as irresistible.

And it’s all handmade by Osman himself—sometimes even delivered by him, too. “I prioritise using local, high-quality ingredients,” he shares. “Everything is made with the same care as a homemade treat.”

So if you’re craving warm, chewy indulgence this Ramadan without leaving your home, Bites & Crumbs might just be your new go-to.
