If you are a coffee lover, this is the place to visit while in Nairobi! The place has a great atmosphere, excellent food and prices, and best of all very good service! Raymond was our barista and he took us on a coffee journey as he explained why he loves his job, what coffee means to him and how he was preparing us a very special cup of coffee using the chemex and the kalita. The coffee was really good! Raymond’s attention and love for coffee made our experience at Connect that much better! Highly recommend!

Value for your money. The food was too good, best waffles I've ever had. excellent service with very friendly staff, ambience and atmosphere were equally amazing. I'll definitely be coming back.

Always wanted to try connect coffee and I happened to be in the vicinity so I decided to give it a try. ***Location*** I think the location is accessible, however, unless you know the area, this one is a bit hidden. Half a star for location. ***Atmosphere*** This is clearly for people who like working in coffee shops. I think it is designed with them in mind. If you like getting some work done while having a cup of coffee, you might like it. Strangely, I found the music not conducive for say reading. It is a strange contradiction. Half a star. ***Experience*** I didn't like the service, the menu and it was hard to get a seat unless you sat on the high chairs so I was always on the look out for someone to leave. I got an iced Americano and a pain au chocolat. The coffee comes unsweetened for those who take their coffee sweet. I didn't mind the coffee, but I didn't enjoy the pastry. I spend KES 670. It wasn't a bad experience, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I also don't know who I would recommend the place to. I had my own WiFi so I can't speak on how good their is, but seeing that almost everyone had a laptop, it might be good. I would give the service, food, menu, cost all together another star.

Probably the only handful of franchises where you can get a proper punch in the face espresso in Kenya. Sure, this is the place where you do your laptoppy type of work and do those meetings you can probably have online anyway. But I was happy here with a book and enjoying the buzz of the place. The coffee was good and the staff were super duper friendly you'd think you'd know them all your life. Whether this is a good thing or not you tell me. You can also get the beans they roasted. I kind of regret now that having left the country that I didn't buy the beans from here.
