About

Garden dining with a focus on grilled meats and seafood — the pork ribs and the grilled fish are both solid. Service is attentive, and the setting is peaceful. Best for quiet dinners or business lunches off the Westlands grid.

    It took me 20 minutes to find it. Don’t look at eye level but look up bc some signs are there. As for the coffee, it’s good. I’ve finally realized that white coffee is 60-70% milk. So I would have to get another coffee confirm how good or very good it is. They take mpesa. Cash? Carry exact KES bc I had to around to get exact monies. The place is nice and I did not see the whole store but it is a 4 star that if I lived here for a month I will know if I could legit give it a 5 star. I ordered a white coffee for 350 KES.

    The answer is 'Yes!'. The question is 'Is this the best coffee in the world?' Okay, here me out Kenya coffee beans is a massive tick. Kenya is the home of seriously good beans. And of course they are using the best Italian espresso machines. And some big additional bonuses just to clinch my case: - I'm sitting in their garden, surrounded by banana palms and with sand between my toes - fantastic staff - you are in one of the most amazing and unique towns in the world: Lamu Old Town, Kenya.

    The Cafe is a hidden gem and our tour guide Hamza brought us there. I liked the paint and the style of the place. From to counter all the way to the toilet. They have nice choices in the menu, for every taste something. I had the cold brew affogato. For my personal taste was the coffee a bit too sour but taste is individually different. The staff is super nice and the garden is so relaxing. Sitting under a banana leave, very good spot. PS: you should always book a guided tour with locals, you see more and support the community.

    Great coffee !! Joshua spent the time to thoroughly describe where the coffee is grown and how it is made. It is a great addition to Lamu Old Village. While i was there in old town, I went there twice. Excellent coffee, especially the chilled brew, and very warm service. In future they were very positive about adding plant based milk and snack. I hope the best for them .
