About

Lovely cozy spot with decent coffee by Nairobi standards. Hidden inside a gym with zero signage — think of it as a scavenger hunt mid-workout. Outdoor seating area adds a relaxed touch, though it can get loud from the main road. Nice place once you find it.

The Cafe’ has a cosy setting, descent coffee for Nairobi standards :) . The Outdoor-sitting area was abit too loud for my liking , because of the main road. All in all a nice place.

Tried out Ora for lunch today but first, a scavenger hunt. It's hidden inside a gym with zero signage, so unless you're on a mission or accidentally wander in mid-workout, good luck finding it. Once...

Ora Caffè is my favorite spot for brunch in Nairobi. They have the tastiest Spanish latte and the truffle croissant is a must try.
