At Jana Coffee Shop on Othaya Rd, Nairobi, I recently had the delightful opportunity to immerse myself in the world of African coffee. Specializing in sourcing, roasting, and serving some of the best beans from Kenya and Ethiopia, this coffee shop is a treasure trove for coffee lovers.
Upon entering the cozy shop around 10 AM on a crisp Saturday morning, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me. I approached the counter and was warmly greeted by David, our friendly barista, who enthusiastically recommended their signature Kenyan espresso.
As soon as I took a sip, I was blown away by the vibrant flavor profile that Kenyan coffee is known for—its notes of berry and citrus danced on my palate. Priced at only KES 150, it was not just a feast for the senses but also an absolute bargain.
While sipping my coffee, I couldn’t resist indulging in a sweet treat from their bakery. I ordered a plate of Akara, deliciously crispy bean cakes served with a tangy dipping sauce. The combination of the warm coffee and the savory Akara was simply divine. For only KES 200, it felt like a luxurious experience. The delightful texture and flavor brought me back to the essence of African snacks.
Another highlight of my visit was witnessing the care that goes into each cup. From the thoughtful roasting process to the way ingredients were sourced, it was clear that Jana Coffee takes great pride in its offerings. This commitment to quality shone through in every element of my order.
As I savored my meal, I noticed other customers enjoying various items, particularly the rich chai latte and Chin Chin. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and the sound of clinking cups, enhancing the overall experience. It felt like a community hub, with people not just stopping by for coffee but for connection and conversation.
I left Jana Coffee Shop feeling energized and satisfied, not just with a great cup of coffee but with the warmth of their service. David, with his cheerful demeanor, made my visit even more pleasant, reflecting the kind of service that turns first-time visitors into regulars.
For anyone in Nairobi looking for a fantastic coffee break, I highly recommend visiting Jana Coffee. The blend of rich flavors, friendly service, and inviting ambiance make it a must-try. It’s a place where every cup tells a story, and I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!
