✨ HighlightLocated 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!→
