As I strolled down Chiromo Lane in Nairobi, the bustling energy of the city surrounded me. It was a sunny afternoon around 2 PM, and my stomach was calling for a delightful pick-me-up. That's when I decided to stop by the local tappi merchant that’s been getting buzz in the community.
Upon entering, I was greeted by a warm ambiance that instantly put me in a good mood. The enchanting aroma wafting from the kitchen teased my senses, making it hard to resist trying something from their menu. I had heard good things about their pastries and decided to indulge in a few.
My first order was the Chocolate Croissant, priced at an affordable KES 150. When it arrived, perfectly flaky and golden brown with a generous filling of rich chocolate, it was everything I expected and more. Each bite melted in my mouth, and I could see why reviewers rave about how fresh and delightful it tasted. This was not just any pastry; it felt like the perfect treat to complement my afternoon.
Next up was the Caramel Tart, which I had heard was a favorite among regular patrons. At KES 200, this dessert was not only beautifully presented but tasted heavenly. The combination of the buttery tart base with the rich caramel layer was blissful. I even overheard a fellow customer complimenting the attendant on how this tart made their day, and it certainly made mine too!
Speaking of attendants, I would like to give a special shoutout to Jane, who served me with a smile and was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She suggested the Croissant and Tart after I mentioned my love for sweet delights. Her enthusiasm truly elevated my experience at the tappi merchant.
The ambiance, along with their great pricing, is a strong point that many previous reviewers have mentioned. It’s rare to find such quality at such reasonable costs, especially in a prime location like Chiromo Lane. I could easily see myself spending an afternoon here, enjoying a coffee with friends or indulging in sweet treats while soaking in the lively atmosphere.
Overall, my visit to the tappi merchant was a delightful experience that left me wanting to come back for more. With delicious offerings like the Chocolate Croissant and Caramel Tart, highly commendable service from folks like Jane, and the charm of Chiromo Lane, I wholeheartedly recommend this spot for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.
