Earlier this week, I decided to start my day off right with a visit to Civet, a fabulous café located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi, Kenya. As soon as I stepped in, I was enveloped by the cozy and vibrant atmosphere that Civet is known for. It was a mid-morning visit, and I couldn’t wait to indulge in their renowned offerings.
I immediately gravitated towards their famous breakfasts. This time, I opted for a delicious sandwich that promised freshness and flavor. I also heard whispers of their coffee made from civet beans, which piqued my interest. The reviews I had read mentioned that the coffee is naturally fermented, giving it a distinctive taste. At just Ksh 250, the coffee was a steal!
As I sipped my coffee, I was struck by its rich aroma and smooth texture—it was the perfect companion to my meal. The enticing smell of the freshly brewed coffee filled the bustling café, which made my decision feel all the more worthwhile. Civet wasn’t just serving a drink; they offered an experience. I learned later from a thoughtful staff member, who introduced herself as Samira, that the coffee sourcing is truly special. Her knowledge about the coffee made the experience even sweeter.
For lunch, I couldn’t resist trying their succulent chicken, which was well-reviewed by other patrons. From the moment I took a bite, I understood why! The chicken was marinated to perfection, bursting with flavor and tenderness. To complement my meal, I received top-notch service from Nicole, who was attentive and friendly, enhancing my dining experience.
The ambiance at Civet is equally noteworthy. The combination of great food and warm service makes it a destination for food lovers in Nairobi. With reviews highlighting the amazing customer service and the knowledgeable staff, it’s clear that Civet takes pride in ensuring every guest feels appreciated. Other guests chimed in to praise Jamal as a wonderful server as well!
As I enjoyed my meal, the café buzzed with energy, showcasing a mix of locals and visitors alike, all sharing in the delightful atmosphere. Civet has become a vital part of the Nairobi culinary scene, and it’s no surprise why: great location, amazing food, and an inviting ambiance make it a perfect spot for a casual hangout or a special celebration.
Before I left, I made a note to revisit for their pizzas and burgers, which were highly recommended in the reviews. If you’re in the area, make sure to drop by Civet for a truly unforgettable experience. Trust me, you won’t regret indulging in their flavorsome offerings. I can’t wait to return!
