During my recent visit to Coffee & Plant located on General Mathenge Road in Nairobi, Kenya, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The café's vibrant décor and comfortable seating created the perfect backdrop for a delightful dining experience. I arrived around 10 AM and decided to indulge in a few of their intriguing offerings.
First on my list was the Hug in a Mug, a delightful mocha that reviewers rave about. Its rich, chocolatey flavor was beautifully balanced with a hint of robust coffee. I can see why many consider it a go-to drink, especially during the cooler mornings in Nairobi. The presentation was equally impressive, served in a charming, cozy mug that invited you to sip slower and savor each taste.
Alongside my mocha, I couldn't resist trying the hot chocolate. It was nothing short of decadent; the smooth, rich chocolate melted in my mouth, and I appreciated the fact that it wasn’t overly sweet. The café prides itself on offering gluten-free desserts as well, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying they were. I gladly joined the ranks of those who call it their favorite spot for vegan cheese and butter.
One thing that stood out to me was the friendly service. I was attended to by a lovely waiter who made recommendations and was genuinely eager to ensure I had the best experience possible. My choice to switch the spiced coffee was met with great professionalism; without skipping a beat, the staff offered to change it at no extra charge. Such thoughtful gestures really elevate the dining experience.
As I savored my beverages, I glanced over the menu, which offers an inspiring variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The freshness and vibrancy of the food options were highlighted in reviews and I couldn't agree more. The ability to cater to various dietary preferences, including gluten-free and no onion/no garlic options, demonstrates Coffee & Plant's commitment to inclusivity in its menu.
For breakfast lovers, you will find an array of options that are both hearty and wholesome, perfect for fueling your day. Many reviews emphasize the tasty portion sizes, describing them as generous and filling while still very reasonably priced. It’s truly a great value for the quality of food served.
Overall, my visit to Coffee & Plant was nothing short of delightful. Each sip and bite reaffirmed the high praise from fellow customers about their exceptional plant-based menu, particularly the za'atar cashew cheese which I could not try this time but certainly will on my next visit. Whether you're in need of a quick coffee fix or a leisurely meal in a comforting environment, this café in Nairobi has something special awaiting you.
