Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of visiting Coffee & Plant, located on General Mathenge Road in Nairobi, Kenya. It was around 10 AM, and the café had a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. I had heard wonderful things about their menu, particularly the variety of vegetarian and vegan options available, so I was eager to dive into my meal.
As I settled into a cozy corner, I took a moment to absorb the beautiful decor and the hustle and bustle around me. The ambiance was lively yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both quick meetings and leisurely brunches. One of the standout features, as several reviewers pointed out, is the ample space between tables, allowing for private conversations—something I truly appreciated.
For my drink, I ordered the Mocha, a choice recommended by many. I wasn't disappointed—the rich flavors and the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate created a delightful experience. The mocha was priced reasonably, fitting perfectly within my budget and offering exquisite flavors. I also decided to try the Hug in a Mug and Hot Chocolate, both of which garnered rave reviews. Each drink provided a satisfying richness that I can see becoming a seasonal favorite.
After sipping my delicious mocha, I turned my attention to the food. The menu offered a fantastic variety of plant-based options, and I was particularly drawn to their acclaimed Za’atar Cashew Cheese. It's a favorite among patrons for good reason—its flavor was vibrant and fresh, enhancing the whole dining experience.
As I experienced the meal, I couldn't help but appreciate the friendly service. My waiter, who was seemingly everywhere, was always ready to help. Without me even mentioning it, when I expressed concern about spices in my coffee, he promptly replaced it without any extra charge. That kind of service truly makes a dining experience memorable!
One of the most talked-about aspects of Coffee & Plant is its commitment to sustainability—everything from their plant-based menu to the use of local ingredients is geared towards a conscientious dining experience. I can still vividly recall the flavors of my dish; each bite was a testament to their dedication to quality and freshness, especially for someone like me who enjoys vegetarian and vegan meals.
Finally, I couldn’t resist indulging in some of their gluten-free desserts. They really stood out amongst the dessert options, which many patrons noted as a primary reason for their visits. The desserts were not only delightful but also great value for money—filling, delicious, and satisfying.
In conclusion, my visit to Coffee & Plant was a whirlwind of pleasant surprises. The combination of great food, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere makes it a must-visit café in Nairobi. Whether you’re in the mood for a warm drink or a decadent plant-based meal, Coffee & Plant is bound to leave you thoroughly impressed!
