Spring Valley Coffee @ Spring Valley Shopping Centre
Ranked in Best Cafes & Bakeries in Westlands
About
One of Nairobi's best roasters in a petrol station near Sarit — the interior is nice and comfortable despite the location. The coffee is great, staff are lovely and knowledgeable, and bags of ground coffee make excellent gifts. Best coffee in Kenya according to regulars who actually know their beans.

I had this place on my radar after a thorough research about the best roasters/coffee shops in Nairobi. And I must say it didn’t disappoint. The staff is very friendly and competent. They answer all my answers about the coffee, before I ordered a V60 and bought 2 bags of beans to take home.

Best coffee in Kenya. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately, some very obnoxious customers who spend hours talking loudly on their bluetooths and video calls. Have experienced this more than once and it ruins the vibe big time.

I went in planning to buy a few bags of ground coffee as gifts. The café itself looks great—nice décor and a lively vibe, so I had high expectations. When I asked about the different coffee's and if they could explain about them, the staff member serving us at the till seemed clueless and just told us to check the menu. That lack of knowledge was a bit worrying. I decided to order a cappuccino and an americano with Mt. Elgon beans. The coffee was honestly terrible—burnt, extremely bitter, and probably the worst I’ve had in Nairobi. I even had to add sugar (which I never do with Arabica beans) just to make it drinkable. I had to get chewing gum because the after taste was just horrible. Needless to say, I decided not to buy any of the ground coffee bags. In hindsight, I should have spoken to the team as it could have been a one off as no coffee can taste that bad, but I was in a rush. Great atmosphere, but the coffee and service didn’t live up to the hype.

Great little café in a small strip mall at a gas station close to Sarit center Nairobi. This was my first visit there and I do agree that they have really good coffee and some pretty tasty desserts ... Loved the interior decor, and layout. Friendly staff at great customer service . I’ll definitely be visiting this place again!

It's located in a petrol station so don't expect fantastic ambience. But inside, the interior is nice and comfortable. The coffee is great.
