Connect Coffee Museum is Connect Coffee’s interactive establishment located in Karen. A beautiful immersive space that takes you on a historical (and caffeinated) journey through the history of coffee, from bean to cup. As you walk in from the parking lot to the cafe you’ll pass a beautifully manicured coffee farm with a roastery right next to it - assuring you of that farm to table feel - coffee edition.

Hashmi’s is a staple in the Kenyan food industry scene having been around since the mid 1990s up until now. Y’all remember they shut down for a while and we thought it was forever and went there in droves only to have it open back up in a different building a few months later? That was smart marketing targeting customer loyalty. Hashmi’s BBQ is now located at Broadwalk Mall in Parklands and this is their biggest branch yet within Nairobi.

I visited Cultiva quite a while back, over a weekend and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service though… not quite. But let me speak on the food first. We were there for brunch but apparently brunch is only served till 11? Isn’t the whole point of brunch is that it’s a meal served from late morning to late afternoon? Most places doing brunch in Nairobi refuse to actually do proper brunch hours and I don’t get why.
