About

Perfect pit stop between Nairobi and Amboseli — the coffee's solid, the bathrooms are spotless (with actual toilet paper), and the staff actually remember your name. Ivy, Maureen, and Boaz run a tight ship, and the owner responds when something goes wrong. Hit it on a road trip when you need more than just fuel.

The chocolate and banana cake we bought were old and dry. Toast bread was moldy. The coffee was good (hence the two stars instead of just one). We managed to buy a tamarind juice that was fermenting,...

Cute little cafe with good espresso coffee, clean washrooms, and relaxing ambiance. Thanks Boaz for a nice flat white!

A beautiful and unsuspecting spot for coffee and food on the way to Amboseli. Lovely atmosphere. I ordered the avocado toast — which was an egg sandwich with avocado, eggs, cucumber, and red onion. De...

Very cute place with good food for a very good price! The food was prepared on the spot, so very fresh, but it still arrived fast! Would recommend 10/10 for lunch
