Love this place! I went last year for the first time, and was excited to return again on my visit to Watamu in 2025!

Simply put, Uwepo is amazing! With impressive effort and passion, the owners have created a café that is so much more. Uwepo is lively hub for community activities and a local pioneer in small-scale regenerative agriculture, where even the kitchen is run with home-made biogas. This is what 'sustainability' is meant to be about. Even if all that doesn't draw you in, the food will. Everything is fresh and organic, and you can really taste it! I highly recommend the shakes in particular. :)

The place is a beautiful and peaceful haven with great service, yummy and healthy food (fresh juices, ice cold coconut water, delicious salads and fresh veggies from the little market) and wonderful artists offering their crafts. My son really enjoys the guitar sessions with Kesh and the display of toys and instruments that keep him busy while I am enjoying delicious food and great conversations! Thank you 🙏

I wanted to support Uwepo Cafe knowing their intentions with earth-friendly sustainable business practices (I LOVE their use of on-site produced cooking gas made from food & animal waste), and my dining experience there was fantastic. My beef stew with rice and slaw were huge in portion given the price, and super delicious. The service was exceptional, being tended to by both the chef and the owner who are both complete gems. As I understand it Uwepo Cafe is growing as a community hub in support of local farmers with their work, so I’ll definitely be dining there again. Highly recommended!
