    Cosy And Cute Coffee Shop on the 2nd floor of broadwalk Mall. Very Good Coffee! Perfectly Baked Muffins as Well. Fresh too! 😋

    Nice address for good breakfast and small dishes but rather on the expensive side by Kenyan standards. Service was prompt and friendly. Coffee was very good.

    Had a good experience with Black Olive in Broadwalk Mall. The service was quick. We had Pasta and Strawberry Bobba Drink.

    They take their coffee seriously here. If you’re a fan of dark roast coffee in particular, you will love it. Had a double cappuccino, which was delicious. The avocado and tomato on toast was also quite tasty. The only reservation is that you are sitting in a mall which is still being developed. But if you happen to be in the area, it’s definitely worth coming here for a coffee, breakfast or lunch break.
