Artcaffé Kileleshwa sits right next to Total and has become one of those places you can walk into any time of the day and still feel comfortable. The space is airy and modern, with a calm vibe that works perfectly for a quick coffee, brunch or evening catch-up. Their menu is wide enough, from pastries and sandwiches to proper meals, and everything feels freshly made. The coffee is consistent, and their baked items are some of the best around. The service is generally attentive, though it can slow down during peak hours. Prices lean a bit high, but the quality, setting, and convenience make up for it. Whether you’re meeting friends, working remotely, or just grabbing a quiet meal, it’s a reliable spot that balances comfort and class.

Really good food and huge variety. Restaurant on the first floor, as the ground floor is a supermarket.

I went there on a Friday Evening, it was not busy and the parking was not full. Well the place is a great location next to the road hence accessible. The sitting area is comfortable and it's quiet for conversation. I took the orange sawa and was okay . Also took the home fries which were tasty and value for money. Please note alcohol is not sold there If you need one for the road. Below the restaurant there is a shop that has variety of things to chose from including home items like bread, egg and cooked food among others. Otherwise I would recommend this place for an easy hangout

The Market and Cafe are absolutely awesome! I bought soup, pastries and some cake. The rotisserie chicken looked awesome, the gentleman cut it up in pieces and packed it. The service was excellent. Gladys in the cafe served us with a smile and made wonderful recommendations.
