Lava latte is a nice eating place with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is really good; the place is filled with contemporary art pieces and also books. It is located in an area just by the basketball court and other exercising areas. Iced Regular Latte was good, and so was the Masai Melt. My friend ordered Quesadilla, which I liked even more than my order. The service is a little slow, it took time for our order to come but I don't mind that. It gives one time to talk and chill. The fries could have been more crisp, other than that everything was good. The place was medium priced in my opinion but that is a subjective matter. They also have a happy hour session 4 pm to 7 pm - in a which they give certain cocktails at 600 KSH. I liked the place and would definitely recommend people to try

The venue has a charming ambiance, and my date and I were captivated by the delightful artwork. However, the service fell short as we had to approach the counter to place our orders. The cocktails were excellent, especially during happy hour, where specific cocktails are discounted rather than the typical buy one get one free. My date thoroughly enjoyed the wings, appreciating their well-executed preparation. On the other hand, I felt the burger presentation could be improved; separating the sauce in a dish might prevent the bun from becoming soggy.

Super cosy and relaxed space that's perfect for getting some work done or just relaxing and enjoying a tasty meal. Offers both inside and outside seating. Tasty food..... had their Nairobi breakfast which I found to be a great deal @Ksh 550 ( and comes with an option of either Kenyan tea or their House coffee). Looking forward to trying their lunch and dinner options.

I had good cup of coffee ☕️ and get some work done here. * Great space and artistic vibe - the whole compound is dedicated to art and media. Also have a massive basketball 🏀 court. The loaded croissant 🥐 with bacon and egg is superb. Wheelchair ♿️ accessible 👍🏽 *Added few pichas in September ‘22

Lava Latte is one of those hidden gems that is perfect for that Sunday brunch or lazy Saturday afternoon. Located next to the statehouse along Statehouse road. The ambience is laid back with the open terrace providing beautiful views around the area. There is a hidden spot just past the main restaurant with nice couches for reading and just chilling. The place also has a vast book collection for those who would love to just sit, bum, read and relax within the area. The food portions are amazing and food is super delicious thanks to the chef. He takes time to check on the guests and whether they enjoyed the food. One great point for Lava Latte is the fact that they are pet friendly and you can bring your dogs around and have fun chilling at the location as you catch up with your friends. The Wi-Fi is great so you can bring your laptops and work all day around Lava Latte. Music selection is also good it compliments the mood of the place. All the staff are friendly and will go beyond their comfort to ensure you have an amazing time over there. Definitely can recommend for those Weekend brunch at cool places. The ambience is great, food is amazing and pocket friendly, service is awesome will come back.
