On a sunny afternoon in Nairobi, I found myself at Coffee & Plant, nestled on General Mathenge Road. As I stepped inside this vibrant café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me, immediately inviting me to unwind and indulge. It was around 3 PM, the perfect time for an afternoon treat.
Having heard rave reviews, I couldn't wait to try their offerings. I decided to order a mocha and a hug in a mug, curious to see if they lived up to the hype. The barista, a friendly attendant named David, greeted me with a warm smile and was quick to guide me through the menu. His passion for coffee was evident and made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
The moment my drinks arrived, I was captivated. The mocha was rich and perfectly balanced, and the hug in a mug was a delightful blend that felt like a warm embrace on a busy day. If you're in the mood for something sweet, you must try their gluten-free desserts, as they are a highlight! I also indulged in their za’atar cashew cheese, which added an exciting, flavorful twist to my experience. The wonderful freshness and vibrant taste of all dishes made it clear why so many customers rave about this place.
One thing that stood out was the café's atmosphere. With ample space between tables, it allowed for a cozy yet private conversation space, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a moment of solitude. A fellow customer even mentioned that they appreciated the restaurant's commitment to creating a welcoming ambiance, and I couldn't agree more.
Another highlight was the menu variety, which many reviewers praised. It's a fantastic go-to spot for anyone looking to explore vegetarian or vegan options. The friendly staff was always ready to assist, embodying the spirit of excellent service. One customer recounted how they were able to swap a spiced coffee for something else without any fuss or extra charge, demonstrating the attentiveness of the team.
As I left Coffee & Plant, savoring the flavors of my mocha and the unique vegan delights, I knew I had discovered a special place. The combination of great value, tasty meals, and filling portions make this café a real gem in the heart of Nairobi. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a serene spot to enjoy your coffee, Coffee & Plant is my new go-to!
