About
Contemporary cafe/bar chain with an upbeat soundtrack, for cocktails, coffee & breakfast.
A contemporary cafe at Sarit Centre with a great variety of food and drinks, especially on the fun patio. The sweet potato fries and smoothies are awesome and filling — just know the grilled cheese is actually an onion sandwich, and service can be hit-or-miss.

Great variety of food and drinks and especially fun patio. Smoothie/lassi is a great filling way to go Sweet potato fries are awesome. Be wary of the grilled cheese- it’s actually an onion 🧅 sandwich 🥪 with “some” cheese. 🧀

I give this place a star for location. It is in Sarit making it accessible to anyone and everyone either on foot, by car or public transport. Other than location, I do not have good things to say about this place. I have been here a total of four times. This place hasn't gotten better with time, but worse. I had the soup of the day which happened to be butternut soup. The soup was watery, overly rich and not in a good way and too sweet for my liking. Perhaps I missed something on the menu which is possible but I thought the soup would come with something else. I did not enjoy this soup at all. I wanted to have a main course afterwards, but changed my mind because the starter was not to my liking. I have also eaten here before and I always feel ripped off afterwards. I knew the soup was KES 600 but the waiter kept saying it was KES 700. When I asked for the bill and showed him the menu, he said that what harm would it be if he pocketed the extra KES100. I don't mind tipping-although with this crazy prices, this is becoming a thing of the past for me-but I have a problem when someone feels entitled to my change. I did not get a bill because the system was down the whole day according to them. I also had an issue with being told that I cannot take photos when they have signs on the wall saying that as a customer you forfeit the rights to pictures taken of you in the establishment for events or otherwise by the establishment. They also didn't have an issue with me taking food photos to review them. I mean the double standards 😒😒😒. If you feel you don't want people taking photos, that is fine. You should also give your customers the same right to privacy that you are demanding of them. This photo issue took a whole weird direction when the same waiter who felt entitled to my change calls me aside and says that I should not feel bad and that the hypocritical lady who said no photos is actually a true hypocrite because she allows other people to take photos of the place all the time😳😳😳. This was an exhausting experience. Suffice to say, I don't recommend this place. Prices are high, the food isn't great, service is wanting and clearly there is a staff management issue. There are plenty of new eateries both in Sarit and Westlands as a whole. Find those places. I did manage to take a few snaps before I was stopped. I shall post them here because if they happened to take photos or videos while I was there, they would clearly post me. Make sure you read the signs on their walls.

It's okay. I was looking for breakfast and coffee, which they had. The service was great. Alex was nice to us. It has a smoking section which is good. It's generally nice.

The view from the patio is magnificent. The cocktails are to die for. I however feel like the burgers should have been more succulent. I'd endorse it as a great place to unwind.

4 stars because the service was too slow besides the restaurant being half full, we had to make our orders from one waiter to the other who would still refer us to a third waiter. There was a very good ambience outside and they play nice slow music. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. I generally enjoyed the food and drinks we had, 10/10 would recommend the Jack Daniels Burger
