I saw a reel somewhere that said Nairobi is being dominated by 3 things: Matcha, Padel and that run club They’re not wrong! If you haven’t tried the very famous Karak & Go vanilla Matcha latte then I applaud you for not giving into peer pressure. But also - where are you hiding? Personally - I tried the matcha, I didn’t like it at all. The milk is way too much for me and the only thing that makes that drink palatable is the vanilla syrup they add to it.

Knead is a very cute bakery located at Kanha building, just opposite Sarit Centre. I had seen so many posts about it and being the pastry lover that I am, I had to check it out. The setup is very well done. You are welcomed with a large display case of yummy looking croissants and other baked goods when you step in. There are lots of warm colours, lots of lighting, lots of natural light too and plenty of space and different seating arrangements depending on how many you are.

Amka cafe is a very vibrant cafe located at Delta towers westlands. What I wasn’t expecting was walking through a gym to get to it lol. So is it part of the gym? They’re just sharing a floor? It’s very confusing. Anyway… once you get past the gym part - you walk into the cafe which has both an indoor and patio section. I like the dark colour scheme they have going on with the pops of colour from the yellow cushion and the bright wood tables and chairs.

If you’ve seen the video of the cheesecake with syrup being poured all over it then you know about Biscotti Cafe. Located in the Westlands Eatery Strip Mall, Biscotti Cafe is a cute little cafe that is very inviting from aesthetics alone. With a light airy colour scheme of whites, pinks and light greys, entering Biscotti feels like stepping into a cloud. The feather like light fixtures are probably what add to that feeling making it feel super cozy but so breezy at the same time.

This is a place so many of you have asked me to visit for time! I decided to take my time going here to give them time to settle in because I’ve had many disappointments when visiting restaurants when they’re brand new. I came here for brunch with my bestie and one thing about this place - AESTHETICS👌🏾 It’s giving the visuals Beyonce denied us, whewwww! It’s such a stunning place, I love the minimalistic theme, earthy colours and how open and airy it feels without actually being open and airy.

I visited Canopy Cafe this past weekend for brunch and I have lots of thoughts! The cafe is located in Ushuru Sacco Plaza, Kilimani. The setup is very minimalist, with muted tones and scattered greenery. The space being quite large could do with maybe more greenery or some art work as the walls are bare making it feel emptier than it should be. They have a limited menu, with brunch and lunch/dinner and a separate drinks menu.
