Shokupan is a cute little Japanese bakery in Sarit centre that I’ve been wanting to try. The menu was overwhelming because it’s quite long but everything looked so good! I tried a little bit of everything. I had the black sesame latte, the tiramisu pancakes, some mushroom & tofu gyoza, firecracker cauliflower bao buns & a strawberry shortcake. I loved everything. My favourites were the pancakes and the bao buns & that cake!

So I’m a tea girl through and through but over the years I’ve really come to love a good cup of coffee, and not just any coffee, really good coffee. Spring Valley Coffee is probably one of the best coffee brands in Kenya & a personal fave! So when I heard that they had a cafe, of course I had to check it out. The cafe is located in the Lavington Business Hub just opposite Lavington Green.

Pallet cafe is located just opposite Lavington Green shopping mall, it has quite a small sign so be on the lookout for it so you don’t miss it. It’s a completely outdoor cafe which I love! The grounds are so green and lush, plants everywhere and the hanging plants on the low corrugated roofing make it feel like an open greenhouse. You can choose to sit within the sheltered section or out on the grass when the weather is behaving.

This restaurant is one of my regular spots. I’ve spent a lot of time here over the years. If you come here in the morning the wonderful scent of freshly baked goods welcomes you and sits with you in their cosy round table booths. She may not remember this but a close friend of mine, Abigail, is the one who introduced me to this spot years ago when they had just opened.

Had a belated birthday dinner plan with a dear friend and she suggested we try out Cocoa Cafe located in Alta Towers, just opposite Yaya centre. Upon walking in you are greeted by their large neon sign and the friendly waiter by the cashier. The place is smaller than I thought but stretches out into an elevated outdoors section which is perfect for afternoon tea or happy hour which they have from 5:30-7:30 daily.
