Very good coffee. I usually go for cold brew, but I bet other coffee selections are also good. Their bagels are best in Nairobi. I like the ambience as well.

Great coffee and delicious bagel (Avo Bravo). Helpful and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere for reading.

We arrived at Coffee and Bagels on a strong recommendation from our local friend for the finest coffee in town. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain their coffee selection and methods of preparation. We opted for a medium roast and for contrast we took one as a pour over and one as a siphon to experience the same coffee but with two different preparations.

Came for the bagels but was disappointed. There are lots of options, which makes it feel like there's something for everyone, but the taste was underwhelming. The coffee wasn’t great either—plenty of choices, but they’re all black coffees. No cappuccino or other espresso-based options. The place itself is nicely designed, but it's located right next to a busy car wash. Great spot if you're getting your car cleaned, but otherwise, the noise can be a bit much.
