    The place looks nice! Good drinks. Friendly staff! Food is really good. Atleast compared to KFC or Mary brown. If you need something different. A good place to try.

    The Grano Coffee is a very pretty place with nice amenities thats why I am granting it two stars. However, the service is subpar and downright unprofessional. There is observed discriminatory practices when it comes to service. Also the wifi is very slow and it runs out faster than you can imagine. They give you coupons after purchase, which is fair enough but the system is unfair if the internet is slow. I barely finished reading a few pages before it ended twice. They didn’t have the hazelnut cream mocha which is why I went there in the first place, instead they only had lattes and Cuppucino which tasted basic added to the poor service. Had to go pay at cashier because the waitresses could be bothered to check on me after they gave me my coffee. Despite calling on them. Overall the place is pretty and has a-lot potential if the management takes constructive criticism and fixes their staff’s attitudes. This is especially because the cafe market in Dar is very competitive and there is better coffee and service in other places. I dont think I will be back again.

    One of the best cafés in Dar conveniently located inside Mlimani city mall. Ideal for meetings (official and social) and just hanging out, or even working. It often gets crowded nowadays though so may not be a good place for things like zoom meetings

    If you're looking for a cozy busy spot to enjoy a delicious cappuccino and chocolate croissant, then I highly recommend checking out "Grano Coffee." From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods. The cozy interior is decorated with warm, rustic touches that make you feel right at home. The cappuccino that I tried was perfectly crafted, with just the right balance of rich espresso and frothy milk. The latte art on top is also a lovely touch. As for the chocolate croissant, it's nothing short of heavenly. The flaky, buttery pastry is stuffed with a generous amount of rich, chocolate that melts in your mouth with every bite. It's the perfect indulgence for any chocolate lover. Overall, I would highly recommend checking out this place if you're also in need of working with your laptop works. Not sure about if the Wi-Fi is too strong but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the quality of the food and drinks is top-notch. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a leisurely afternoon treat, Grano coffee is the perfect spot with varieties to offer from their menu.

    Service from the waitresses is painfully slow at times...they will smile at you as you enter only for you to wait for quite sometime just so that you can get the menus.. Also, if you have plans of using their wi-fi, beware that they sometimes run out or give 30minutes vouchers. If you're lucky however, you get 2 hours worth of wi-fi

    Worst cafe ever. Am here for the first time but to be honest I haven't liked it. A brownie and a bottle of Sprite took 45 minutes to reach my table. They have free wifi but dont rely on it because it is so slow and sometimes disconnects. Some waiters are not customer friendly. Also the menu doesn't have it all.

    Great free WiFi, very rare in Tanzania. The cappuccino is fantastic, comes with free peanut flavoured biscuits which taste like peanut butter in biscuit form 👌👌👌amazing brownies and ice cream! Good place to chill and work on your laptop, basically the closest thing to Costa in Tanzania (even the logo). Poor serving speed, does not allow you to correct your order.

    I was here almost every second day during my stay in Dar-es-Salaam. I tried so many different coffee variations, cakes and main dishes and I can't tell which one I liked best. I highly recommend the Hazelnut Cappuccino and the chocolate cake. As a European, I wouldn't take the pasta again. Sometimes, the WiFi was not working or they were out of some meals, but I still enjoyed it every time.

    My visit to Grano Coffee today included a delightful café latte that left a lasting impression. From the very first sip, it was evident that the baristas here are masters of their craft. The café latte, expertly prepared by the talented barista, was a harmonious blend of rich espresso and velvety steamed milk. This drink not only provided the perfect balance between the boldness of the coffee and the creamy sweetness of the milk but also showcased the dedication to precision and quality that defines Grano Coffee. What added an extra touch of warmth to the experience was the impeccable service provided by Waitress Gertrude. Her attentive and friendly demeanor enhanced the overall atmosphere of the café and made my visit even more enjoyable. It's clear that the staff at Grano Coffee is as passionate about creating a delightful experience as they are about crafting the perfect cup of coffee. The café's ambiance itself perfectly complemented the beverage and service, providing a welcoming and cozy environment to savor every moment. Grano Coffee, with its commitment to exceptional coffee, top-notch service, and inviting atmosphere, truly stands out as a gem in the world of coffee establishments. If you're seeking a café latte that embodies both craftsmanship and hospitality, Grano Coffee is the place to be.

    I sat down and ordered water while I waited for my meeting . a waitress by the name Getrude came and started questioning me .asking me if I had a meeting .I asked why I was the only one singled out .she had no direct answers but I'm 100% sure it wasn't for good reasons .when they see a local they think they are there with no purpose .it's depressing that in 2024 we still have no dignity and respect for our own people

    It's one of the best restaurants in Mlimani city suitable for meetings, they have a special table with sockets that can accommodate those who come with their laptops, they also offer free Wi-Fi. However, for tea lovers, the tea easily get cold especially when you seat inside

  • 5/5 Ally K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place .

  • 1/5 Liz K. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to this location three times and I always leave disappointed. First time the server overcharged me for a drink but I caught the error and they rectified it. Second occasion, the place is full and we requested to be seated at a free table at the corner to which they refused saying it's *always* reserved for the owner/manager . Now I don't own a café but I do know a thing or two about customer service. If you have clients that are willing to spend money at your establishment, why would you turn them away rather than simply offer them the reserved table if you know for sure the manager/owner won't be using it at that time? Third visit, I managed to get a chair by the island so I could charge my phone and requested another chair so my daughter could also sit next to me. They brought over the menus but never brought the chair. My daughter (9 years old) had to sit on my lap as we waited. I told them I would order once we got the chair. As I finished fidgeting with my phone, I look up and the menus were gone! They had taken the menu away rather than serve us & provide us with a chair. I don't usually write negative reviews but I feel if it's absolutely crucial that management have a reserved table for them at all times , then it must be important for them to know what happens on their restaurant floor and how absolutely rude and incompetent your staff can be. I will not be returning.

    Awesome Coffee place. They have the best Cappuccino and Americano Espresso.

  • 5/5 Tiisetso P. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee shop has an outside sitting where you can appreciate the view of the city at an angle and at night you can have a coffee while enjoying the breeze and the view of people walking past full of laughter. The food is to die for if you love a good steak then the mixed grill is a must. Had one good experience with them

  • 5/5 Garik Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Dishes are very large. Be sure to not order too much. Very tasty and delicious. Try "hungry lion". It is for 2-3 person fully enough.

  • 5/5 julie p. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and fast service! Food was good and coffee was delicious compared to other places in TZ. Would come back!

  • 1/5 Smac M. 1 year ago on Google
    Last night I visited this place, with my friend and her kids, we got there at around 22:15 hrs. We finally agreed on what we wanted to order at around 22:30. Food was served and at around 22:53 were warned the place is about to close. At 22:58 we were reminded that we can probably pack our food as the place was about to close. This became so irritating because I have never been at a restaurant where you are being forced out because they are closing. Most places would do soft closed down and give you time to finish your food. When we pushed back, an employee named Betty had the audacity to tell us she stays very far so she has to close at 23:00 hrs. Despite our best efforts she continued showing disrespect towards us as clients. She eventually left the premises leaving her colleagues to close after she had left. What shocked us was whatever management is aware of these actions. Let alone endorse such treatment to customers. I highly doubt this is the first time they have done this to clients. This is my 4 visit to this place but this was terrifying an experience for any customer. Is this really the first time Betty has done this to clients? I do personally intended to follow up with management on our treatment from last night.

    Better place when finished shopping mall where could buy nothing, but the cafeteria could offer a good smell roasted coffee when entering.

  • 1/5 mukkie R. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were very rude to me and my children just because we were still having dinner and it was approaching their closing time.we came in one hour before closing and the meals were a bit late since we were a group of seven including kids.The cashier in particularly was the one who was up-front rude to an extent my seven year daughter asked me, mum how can she say this to customers?This was after she told us to carry our food and eat outside and that she has to leave coz she leaves far.Min you it was 10:55p.m. Was quite a shock and disappointing.I have been there several other times and the experience was good but this one time experience was enough to never going back there.

  • 5/5 Patrik M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a fantastic place to work or relax. Coffee & specialty drinks are wonderful, especially coconut frozen lemonade. They have wifi - it's busy! Its open late with indoor & outdoor seating. Food is good too. Take a bijaj to or from the ferry terminal for 15,000 tsh. it's about 25 minutes from there.

  • 5/5 Paddy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast and efficient service. I had beef sandwich with cheese. Was really good and their cappuccino was excellent

  • 1/5 Kennedy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very poor service, waitresses are not bothered about bringing your bill once you done with eating. Also they never open on time, they say opening time is 8am but they never open till 8:20 or even 8:30. Thats very inconvenient for those who wish to catch up with other engagements. Reason given is always: We cleaning after fumigating last night. Got this excuse 2 days in a row finally called it quits. Good place but looks like management is poor.

  • 4/5 Farayi Z. 10 months ago on Google
    The menu has great variety and it was good to find all options I needed available. It tasted good too. The service was a little slow but reasonable. My issue is, there's many signs offering free wi-fi, but when I asked it wasn't available. As a tourist, I went exactly for that. Don't put that sign then!
