They definitely understood the assignment. One of the best coffee places I have visited in Nairobi. Very good coffee, loved the interior, good service.

Very nice place to work and have coffee. A bit small but I was working alone so no worries about space. Staff are friendly and give you just the right amount of space. Coffee and wifi are amazing!

One thing I didn't realise about Kenya, despite being one of the best coffee growing nations is that it is a not a coffee drinking place. Sure, there are cafes all over the place but most of the coffee you're gonna find is trash. Most of the good stuff is shipped overseas. Which is why places like Spring Valley is so rare because they make a gosh-darn good espresso. Super fruity, good amount of acidity and a joy in a cup of cortado. I honestly wish there were more places like these in Nairobi.

A coffee lover's dream, an interior designer's masterpiece... Spring Valley coffee stands out for its attention to detail. The attention to detail paid to the coffee preparation, the attention to detail of the displays and decor, and the attention to detail given to the furnishing. The stylistic choice of minimalistic wooden and steel furnishing, as well as plain concrete finishes is a masterstroke as the style is as eye-catching as it is functional. The space is optimised by incorporating the furniture directly into the walls in the form of seating elements like benches and suspended tables. This all gives the space quality an airy feel, which is further emphasised by the large windows which bring in natural lighting, and the spotlights taking your focus to the key design elements like the artwork and the open coffee displays. It all works together to give you the best version of the experience you came for (coffee) and the environment is an enabler for that experience. It's a great spot for great coffee, co-working or reading a book and should be any coffee lover's Shangri-la within the bustling city of Nairobi

Saw this place mentioned in Barista magazine, had to go here to check out Kenyan beans roasted in Kenya. Baristas are knowledgeable and make a good pourover. They can advise the best brew method for each bean. Several medium roasts to choose from. Each bag has roast date and even name of the roaster. 250g of the Elgon (the favorite, so juicy) was only 1300.
