Visiting Coffee & Plant on General Mathenge Road in Nairobi was an experience that I won't soon forget. As soon as I stepped inside, I was welcomed by a vibrant atmosphere filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It was a sunny Saturday morning, and I could feel the weekend energy buzzing around the café.
I decided to try their renowned mocha, complemented by the delightful hug in a mug. Both drinks were heavenly and immensely satisfying. The mocha was intricately balanced, not too sweet but rich with a perfect combination of chocolate and coffee. The hug in a mug was like a warm embrace on a breezy day—smooth, comforting, and undeniably delicious. Plus, the prices were quite reasonable, making it a great value for the quality offered.
A visit to Coffee & Plant wouldn’t be complete without indulging in their famous gluten-free desserts and plant-based dishes. I adored their za’atar cashew cheese, a special treat that burst with fresh and vibrant flavors. Anyone looking for healthy and tasty options, especially vegans and vegetarians, would find themselves in culinary heaven here.
What really stood out during my visit was the impeccable service. One outstanding attendant that I encountered was absolutely lovely. Although their name sadly slipped my mind, their friendly demeanor truly enhanced my overall experience. They were attentive without being intrusive and even went the extra mile when I expressed my disinterest in the spiced coffee. Without hesitation, the staff switched it out for something more enjoyable without any extra charge.
The ambience of the café deserves a mention too. It was spacious enough to allow privacy, making it ideal for a casual catch-up with friends or even a solo retreat with a good book. The combination of an inviting environment and friendly staff made it a perfect spot to unwind.
For those who are particular about their dietary preferences, Coffee & Plant offers an excellent variety of vegetarian and vegan options. For breakfast, their selection is wonderful—filled with no onion and no garlic choices that cater to various tastes. Having the ability to enjoy plant-based meals while sipping on expertly brewed beverages makes for a wholesome dining experience.
Overall, my visit to Coffee & Plant was not just a meal; it was a delightful escape into a world of flavor and sustainability. If you’re in Nairobi and seeking a cozy café that offers both great coffee and plant-based goodness, look no further. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.
