Founded circa 1908 by M. Sofianopoulo, long before the Greek exodus in the mid 1930’s, the Sofianopoulo Coffee Store stands to this day on the western end of Saad Zaghloul Street in Alexandria. Today, the locale is owned by Egyptians and houses the same old-style coffee grinding machines that stood there 100 year ago and colossal sacks of odorant coffee beans coming from all around the world. Although the shop is pretty wide and could easily accommodate a few tables and chairs, there is no place to sit in Sofianopoulo. Regulars and occasional visitors drink their freshly brewed espressos at the standing-only bar, or hunched at one of the shop’s counters.
