    A must try - Lemon and Carrot cake. What a wow place. Some Cafe's are pretty, have the best ambience. It is as simple as Good Food equals to Good Mood.

    Great ambience, loved the decor🙌🏼 Staff were fast and friendly. Lunch was just okay for me. My friend had the Tandoori Chicken burger which was amazingly spicy and tasty. I had the double cheeseburger which wasn’t as spicy and tasty as I expected. The beef was tasteless I might say. Still a great place for lunch tho.

    A very cute cafe, very beautiful actually.. Been here three times but unfortunately although the food being good have never a wow moment. Food somehow lacks flavor. There some misses in their dishes Overall great coffee but room for improvement is there. Service was great, i see this being a regular for some people

    Super nice modern space. Good food. They have a great yard and swing sets for kids to play on. Since it is a popular place, it was a little noisy inside the Cafe.

    Really nice atmosphere and ambience. Staff were attentive and helpful. However the waffles were dry and didn’t taste very good. The syrup they used didn’t taste great.

    Cozy and nice place! You can't miss cafe latte,the best one!Smell great and taste well,but the price is higher than other cafe shop.I've tried waffle/pizza/pancake,waffle is better with strawberries on the top. This time i order chicken waffle,so strange this one,waffle with fried chicken on the top which is spicy.It tastes really bad

    Another wow place along Barack Obama drive. Central Park Cafe has great options. The staffs are also very friendly and sharp in serving you. I was glad to find some puzzle and mind games that kept us good company as we enjoyed our brunch. The place is quiet and chilly too. Recommended for dates, meetings, children and simple family outings

    I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve visited this place and I’m not kidding when I say - their food keeps getting better and better. The staff are friendly , always accommodating. The food is just too good- the wings are literally to die for. In short, I’ll don’t think I’ll get enough of Central Park!

  • 5/5 Yara A. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Love the interior and the food is always 5/5 great quality definitely must try. I used to live close and go all the time because I am confident of their service and food. Their pasta and pizza are great but what pleasantly surprised me the most was the taco bowl salad highly recommend!

    Great cafe/restaurant with lovely, friendly staff. Large, air-conditioned indoor room, undercover outdoor space with fans, undercover garden area with kids equipment, indoor play area for little ones. A perfect spot for a relaxing time.

  • 3/5 jamila a. 4 months ago on Google
    The food quality is consistently good. However, the service is not the best. The waitress seems to be moody/ not happy being here, serves with annoyance, for example asked for a glass with ice took 15mins, brings the glass holding it in her hand grudgingly, remind about ice and makes a face. The tables were super sticky asked for it to he wiped, does it begrudgingly with a dirty rag. Anyway maybe it's just a bad day for them? 🫠

  • 4/5 Paul J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Ambience, great service; The food tastes great and the prices are fair; I had the mozzarella pizza (7/10) Lemon cake (7/10) and oreo milk shake (10/10).

  • 5/5 Fatema A. 2 years ago on Google
    You must try the Berry blitz and the cheese steak sandwich... enjoyed both!

  • 2/5 Stephanie Joseph de G. 2 years ago on Google
    The waitress was super and the place is nicely decorated but the food is terrible. I would have asked for a refund if it were the norm here. Not sure I would return.

  • 5/5 Richa S V. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Helena V. 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Great cafe! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and the environment is super cozy! There is wifi and AC inside, and a nice place to sit outside as well. Would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Suleman N. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean cafe, coffees, desserts and great food, I cannot stress how good the food is here, I've been twice and they haven't disappointed, ive had the wings , lemon pepper and the burger, I would argue it's one the best burgers in Dar, prices are decent and service is great. Likewise they have a child play area in the back with a tv for sports, it's simply the ideal family outing.

  • 5/5 Kamal S. 10 months ago on Google
    Always yummy food, my go to for wings cravings. I love their sweet chilli wings, they are absolutely delicious. The burgers are always a treat as well. I do also love the pizza; where you get to choose exactly what toppings you want; although the price does get out of hand real quick. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Catherine N. 2 years ago on Google
    A spacious coffee shop near the city centre (downtown) Dar es salaam. Very tastefully furnished. Good service. You can sit indoors or garden. Nice for kids too as there's a play area with supervision

  • 4/5 JOVITUS K. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a nice place and has a comforting and great customer service. Went there for a quick drink as well as a meeting. The staff were welcoming and very quick on serving. I ordered a smoothie and it was tastier and nice. My friends ordered shakes and nice tea. They both enjoyed their drinks and will definitely come back to eat their burgers for my first experience was awesomely great. The place is cool and quiet, with enough space to accommodate many customers. And yeah, the service is quick and on point. So in a nutshell, my first experience here was as good as expected, so will come back next time.

    This cafe is vibe! We have never been disappointed with food when we go. The breakfast has been amazing. I want to return and have lunch because I've had such great experiences. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Salman Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great environment, it's relaxed and relatively quiet too. The outdoor section is a great addition too. There's ample space for children to play including a room too. Toilet review? Doesn't smell clean if you ask me.

  • 4/5 Claudius L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, especially the brownie with ice cream and whipped cream is very nice. The service was quick and friendly but the waitress seemed to wait and hint at a tip which I thought was a little rude. I have never experienced that before, maybe because this place is overrun with Europeans and Americans who love to give big tips. The prices are already on the expensive side tho.

  • 5/5 Patsy H. 3 years ago on Google
    Central Park Cafe is amazing! It's such a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal or drink. The vibe inside is so chic and cosmopolitan. The owner really did an awesome job designing the cafe space and surrounding gardens. My child also had a ton of fun in the outdoor children's park and the indoor children's area. Highly recommended!!

  • 4/5 Zainabbas L. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent services. Caters to delivery, parents & that brilliant clean play room. May need some touch up. Menu hasn't changed since an year now. However it may require few popular requests or special menus.

  • 4/5 Kayla L. 6 years ago on Google
    Small but excellent menu. Great coffee, food and service. Wonderful servers. Relaxed, comfortable indoor seating with large windows for natural light. Outdoor seating area looks great for families with children. Edit: They have recently extended their menu. Tried their fried paneer burger, which was delicious. There are a good amount of vegetarian options. Food quality and new options are great. Their lemon iced tea was refreshing though a bit small. Staff are amazing as usual.

👍👍 A little bit surprised it is in a gas station. But generally the environment is pretty good. And also it's the best cappuccino I had since I landed in Tanzania. Chicken wing is also not so bad. But the sauce is a little bit sweet for me. Overall, it's good.
