the food is like what you get at Starbucks, but a bit better. Good breakfast options. The coffee is one of the best I have tasted anywhere, after travelling many countries including south American coffee growing ones, Ethiopia and middle east. Buy beans to take home with you. More

After seven months out of Nairobi, our first stop when we got back home was Java House. Throughout December we had breakfast, or lunch or dinner at Java several times, and the food and service never disappointed. When you order for bacon or sausages, remember to specify whether you would like pork or beef. I am not a fan of... More

Nice little coffee house located across Nairobi. They have a good selection of coffee and food. The fresh juices were good as well the burgers and the pancakes for the kids. Prices are reasonable for a town such as Nairobi. Service was fair and we didn’t have to wait too long for our food. More

I have visited Java house many times as I live in Nairobi. The first times I came there I was quite happy with the food, but over time it has lost its interest. The food is quite poor and simple and there are many better options in Nairobi in that range and with that ambiance. E.g. Art Cafe More

One order was wrong (fried eggs instead of scrambled). When we asked for the eggs to be changed, we were told the kitchen was busy and the wait would be long, so... More
