Le Grenier has a pleasant and comfortable environment that makes it a nice place to sit and relax. However, the service was noticeably slow and it felt like the restaurant may have been understaffed at the time which impacted the overall experience. The food was okay ..enjoyable but not particularly outstanding or memorable. With more attentive service and better staffing the experience could be much smoother. Overall, it was an average visit

Awesome spot close to the main city areas and Arboretum park. Great for business breakfasts, coffees and lunches especially, as well as weekend brunches. Quick and friendly service. The coffee and desserts were worth the penny!

Exotic restaurant for us the tourists. A nice and relaxable cafee. However, Too sweet for cakes n drinks. The milkshake has been wasted for too much sugar. I hope there will be some sugar levels for the tea n drinks. I Will take friends to give a visit here again.

Le Grenier à Pain offers an authentic French bakery café experience, with a warm, cosy atmosphere that reflects traditional European charm. The space feels inviting and unpretentious, making it a pleasant spot for breakfast, a light lunch, or a relaxed coffee break. The menu is centred around freshly baked artisanal breads, pastries, and classic French café fare, including sandwiches, quiches, and desserts made with quality ingredients. Baked items are consistently fresh and well crafted, with flavours that feel true to French tradition. Good coffee and friendly, efficient service complete the experience, making Le Grenier à Pain a dependable choice for simple, well executed bakery dining. #EatOutApproved!

Located at a prime residential area in Nairobi, this place totally doesn't feel like in Kenya. Quite a secured area because to reach the cafe you have to pass through the security of the entrance where they will ask where you are going to and give directions then another security before entering the building for the scanning of bags. I was quite impressed with the cafe, a very big dining area, both indoors and outdoors, a big area also for the display of the pastries. There were really a lot to choose from and was at a loss and had to ask the staff to recommend. Eventually picked on an almond croissant, a lemon tart and a savoury crepe. Also had a chai latter which I asked for iced but turned out to be hot. All the food I ordered was good, but was quite a lot for one to finish. Enjoyed them a lot and spent some time chilling in the cafe. Not sure if its considered expensive but for me I found it to be quite reasonable. A short Uber ride from the city and definitely worth checking this place out!
