Mode Café
This is one of my favourite places to go to for brunch! They went really simple on decor: minimalist, muted tones and an open plan space which makes it seem bigger than it is, there’s some outside seating but majority is indoors.
The menu is quite limited, which may concern some but for what they offer I think the menu fits. We had some coffees, the Chicken and Waffle (KSH1,200/), Shakshuka (KSH1,200/), Apple Crumble French toast (KSH1,100/) and Prawn tempura (KSH1300/).
The Laughing Buddha
The Laughing Buddha is located in Kenrail towers ground floor and is also at the Sarit Centre - the new wing. It is fully vegetarian - which surprisingly I didn’t mind. I had a cute pink latte called the rose cardamom latte, some peri peri fries and the paneer bao buns. The latte was so cute but a little too sweet for my liking, though the cardamom really hit the spot!
Kahvalti Cafè
I came across this place on Instagram’s explore page, I saw a few people talking about it and the food looked nice so I decided to try it one day.
It’s located on Lenana road, in the lobby of 197 Lenana Place office building. It’s quaint and not super spacious but it fits the cafe aesthetic really well. Cosy seating all around and great lighting especially in the corner seating areas.
Shokupan
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!
Spring Valley Coffee
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.
Wasp and Sprout
Today’s review is coming from deep in Loresho, at a nice little family run cafe. Wasp & Sprout has been around for quite a long time but I’ve never visited before. Mostly because years ago they had this thing about closing at 2pm on Sundays which I found odd because why offer brunch if you’re gonna close that early? So that put me off going there but now they’ve extended their hours and their menu has also expanded quite a bit too.
