About

The breaded steak at breakfast hits like a warm hug, and the pistachio milkshake's worth the trip alone. Furniture's a bit run down, but the washrooms are spotless and service is usually warm—just don't go when they're slammed.

    Worse customer service I have ever experienced. It took 40 minutes to be served, after eating, another 40 min to be billed. This is despite several prompts to the waiters and waitresses. Not coming back.

    Warm lighting, lively but not loud, easy to hold a conversation.

    I absolutely enjoyed the food from this place. The Ambience is Serene. I will be back here again and again

    "THE" place to be in Kakamega. A big menue from coffee over milkshakes (try the pistacchio!) to little meals you will be served nicely. Sometimes some food from the menue is not available. The washrooms are neat and clean (like the word tells us: that room has been washed!)

    The food is like a really warm hug after a long day or before it. Furniture is a bit run down but the food kind of makes up for it. It’s clean enough so not really an issue. Would recommend the breaded steak for breakfast.
