About

Contemporary cafe/bar chain with an upbeat soundtrack, for cocktails, coffee & breakfast.

The ribs and chicken wings are worth it, happy hour cocktails slap, and Esther's an amazing waitress. Just know the service gets slow around 5pm, and the music gets so loud you'll have to abandon your conversation.

    An experience I'll remember, the setup is real pretty especially at night. Food was a delight despite the fact that for Monday burger offers, you can't get two burgers at the same price. Why? You're charged the fee for the more expensive burger (choose wisely). Anyhuu Esther was an amazing waitress Note: hot towels are provided for your hands The food was great, fries in plenty n tasty.. my burger (Halloumi something) wasn't all that too dry I felt. But hers (Big Beef) was a perfect combination of the spices and yes, it was dripping of sauce. Cocktails were served in plenty, we got those for 600 and our taste buds were delighted. Nevertheless, you may want to ask they add more liquor in yours if you actually want to get a good buzz. Karibu.

    It's a rare occurrence that I have trouble finishing my food. Dropped by for breakfast on a Saturday morning at around 9 am. We were the first people in. The place has a nice trendy vibe, with good music playing and decent seatings. So the first impression isn't bad. We ordered 'Just Baked' and 'City Slicker from Designer Benedict' along with tea and coffee. Beverages arrived quick, but food took a lot of time - despite us being the only patrons. We were fifteen minutes done with tea and coffee when we got the food. Looked appetizing but lack any sort of taste. The City Slicker was overloaded with avocados, the eggs looked and tasted boiled instead of poached and the Hollaindaise sauce really had no taste. The Just Baked was relatively alright (compared to the Slicker), but could have been much better considering the prices (paid 1000 KES/pp). The staff is friendly and helpful however, the food really needs to notch up. Probably not visiting again.

    The food is amazing. Especially the ribs and chicken wings. The service can be quite slow. The happy hour is amazing they offer great cocktails and mountains. The ambience is also good offering a smoking zone and the decor is good. The staff is also quite friendly.

    It's a nice cosy place for dinners and lunch. Very friendly staff. A laid back place to catch on News while reading a newspaper as you enjoy your meal and drink. They have a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The best days with less crowds is on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. During the week especially end of the week can get really busy and you have to book a table before hand. Want to enjoy News and Sports... News Cafe is your go to joint of choice.

    Cocktails are great. Service gets slow towards happy hour which runs from 1700 -1900 hours. Food selection is not bad as well. Moderately priced place. Music though becomes loud and you have to abandon the place if you wanted to have a conversation with someone after work or on a weekend.
