  • 5/5 Ashley G. 5 years ago on Google
    Loved this place! The food options are limited, which I find charming. It also means that everything they do is delicious. I had a cucumber chickpea salad and a grilled cheese, which was simple but delightful. Also it’s In the back of a bookshop so you can do a little browsing while you wait for your food. The rooftop part is tiny, but the views are divine.

    Excellent Grilled Cheese in quiet atmosphere of a library. Strong wifi. Only has a few tables and a couple couches. Several fresh baked goods/sweets available as well. Most seats face glass window looking out at Kigali.

    The cafe has a very calm and serene aura for anyone looking to immerse themelves in undisturbed dining, reading, meditating or any preferred silent activity. There is a large library of English and French books which you can read while there. The rooftop section offers one of the best views of Kigali to reinforce your moments of relaxation, there are even mats to lie down & enjoy the great view offered. Will definitely go back when I return to Kigali.

    This is the very first restaurant that I visited on moving to Kigali a few weeks ago. My hotel room wasn’t ready, so I was looking for a place to relax and have a quick bite. Inzora’s vibe was perfect. I enjoyed delicious coffee and treats, but mainly what will get me to come back was the relaxed atmosphere.

    Great coffee and food. The view is awesome. We went also on a Friday late afternoon and we ordered some special drinks and cheese table. Everything was good. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Good place to go and work or have a business meeting.

    The Café is just after the bookstore, and the view from the big windows is great. They have a good selection of coffee, but their pastries are very limited.

  • 5/5 Sibarita D. 11 months ago on Google • 157 reviews
    Great food and views. Quite spot for teleworking, excellent for a coffee, lunch or breakfast. The library store inside has nice collections of books to offer. The place also sells some local crafts like soaps, tea and bags.

    I really like this place for late weekend brunch. Only a few spots outside on the roof, but when you get one, you have a great view. The bookshop is also worth a visit. The Greek yoghurt with granola, honey and passion fruit is really good and they have good coffee.

    Simple hip, artsy atmosphere, coffee is pretty decent, but go for the cortado, the others are at standard cafe level. Chocolate cake here was the real deal. Love the pottery style used here for the tableware. It can get slightly warm and sunny in the middle of the day if you're heat averse. The attached bookstore is well stocked, both in books and stationery.

    Hidden behind shelves of books at Ikirezi bookstore lies Inzora Cafe. From the window seat you have a spectacular view over the valley that is created by Kimihurura and Kacyiru hills. Behind Kimi can be seen the office buildings in Kiyovu, and in the horizon can be seen the green hills that has become the epitome of Rwanda as such: The land of a 1000 hills. Besides a great view, Inzora offers great coffee!

    Beautiful view both inside and upstairs on the patio, with very reasonable prices. Co-located in a gorgeous book store with many great options.

  • 1/5 Chisenga M. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, limited menu. Wouldn't go again because of negative experience with personnel. I asked the staff member behind the counter if they did smoothies, she said yes, I said I'd have one, but paused as I searched the menu board for available options, then another woman (maybe the manager?), almost immediately, rudely chuckled and interjected "yeah but which one". She did go through the effort asking someone in the kitchen to make the smoothie with one less ingredient than I wanted, but the initial interaction came across as condescending.

    I think they put some type of jam on the grilled cheese. It had sweet undertones. Mind blown. Loved it

    Entering the cafe you'll find a large bookshop and behind it you'll see comfortable places to sit and enjoy delicious coffee and cakes, picturesque view and peaceful atmosphere. Going to the roof is a must!

  • 5/5 Susanne R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great African book selection, good coffee and a really nice view from the upstairs rooftop (Or inside when it rains)!

  • 5/5 Kennedy Baboloki K. 3 years ago on Google
    I really like this cute little cafe/ bookshop. Amazing views and excellent service- would definitely love to visit more often. There aren't a lot of food options but I think everything else makes up for that.

  • 5/5 Amina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the bookshop and the cafe place! Especially the views from the terrace and seeing the sunset are magical! And their chocolate cake is the best in kigali!

  • 4/5 Silvia 1 year ago on Google
    Cool café located inside a library. Unfortunately indoor so you can't really enjoy the nice view. Great tea selection!

  • 4/5 cyuzuzo E. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Aline N. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is overall good and the ambiance. But I met a rude girl staff wow!! Very rude. Also. There’s no diversity of the food provided

  • 5/5 inbar y. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, great views, great service

  • 4/5 stella k. 1 year ago on Google
    What do you get when you have a restaurant at the back of a bookshop? Geek heaven💯. The views are good, and it's a peaceful place if you want to get your work done. The menu is also pocket friendly, but they mostly serve beverages and snacks.

  • 5/5 Aidah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet cafe in a bookstore with a beautiful rooftop deck (watch you head when entering the rooftop). A visiting farmers market comes once or twice a week.

  • 5/5 Charlotte H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a nice lunch here. The offered an interesting vegan smoked salmon bagel, which was really good. The bookshop has a great selection also

  • 5/5 Dusabikiza D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's very good place to be. I recommend you to go anywhere else in Kigali but Inzozi Rooftop cafe will be your very nice place to be!

  • 5/5 Kiara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant! Such good food, good vibes and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rwanda.

  • 4/5 Aneth D. 6 years ago on Google
    Cozy place, café space is not that big but the combination of a bookstore and a café is just awesome. The view is amazing especially during rain season. They had only two eating items (salads?) but a selection of coffees. There is a Wi-Fi connection too.

  • 5/5 Kysha M. 1 year ago on Google
    What could be better than a cafe inside of a bookstore with an amazing view? One with good service and yummy vegetarian food😋 The cafe is quiet, modern and somewhere I'd love to read or get some work done.

  • 4/5 Aaron S. 4 years ago on Google
    Expat bubble to the max. Good coffee and lots of vegan food available, terrace has a great view of the city.

  • 5/5 Laura G. 11 months ago on Google
    The best library in Kigali: silent and illuminated. There is a book choice of quality and a café to get the energy you need for a tough work or study session. If it is not raining, you can also sit on the rooftop. The staff organize Kinyarwanda classes on a weekly basis. Please try the chocolate tart!

  • 5/5 Ineza 3 years ago on Google
    A chill place quiet in an urban area

  • 5/5 Niklas F. 7 months ago on Google
    Great view over Kigali. It is placed inside a library and has one of the best cappucinos ever. Also try the granola yoghurt - it is served with honey & a fresh maracuja!

  • 5/5 S H. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful view, delicious tea, good service.

  • 5/5 Ömer �. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Temi 7 months ago on Google
    Such good coffee, I had two flat whites at 9 am in the morning. Rooftop nice and chill, with a great view of Kigali. They have one or two gluten free snacks, which is great. The server was also super friendly.

    What a nice spot to stop and have vegan food and good coffee. The view is nice, there are books to purchase inside, WiFi if you need to work inside. I ordered a bagel with vegan ‘lox’ (carrot) really good choice!

  • 5/5 M V. 5 years ago on Google
    It’s a really beautiful places, the coffee is really. Their macadamia and cashew milk is amazing. Also save some space for their baked goods.

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 4 months ago on Google
    Have been loving this place since 2018! It’s rare that you find a place that maintains its excellence over such a long period of time but Inzora has managed to do so. Stopped in today and loved the new vegan grilled cheese and the chocolate tart was spectacular. 😍

  • 5/5 Ross B. 5 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous little cafe at the back of an excellent bookstore. The coffee is delicious and I recommend the grilled cheese with cucumber salad! Appreciate the small menu! Great views of some greener parts of Kigali.

  • 5/5 Philippa 6 years ago on Google
    Café in excellent bookstore in Kigali. Great views, friendly staff. Very limited food menu (this mixed plate on Fridays only). Quality teas / coffee / juices

  • 5/5 Asia K. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a small ,quiet place with great herbal tea, coffee,wifi and abit of a view of the city.It's more convinient if you are looking for a cafe to get some work done and not really spacious to hangout with a large group of friends.

👍 Lovely place, cozy vibes and suited for social distancing under COVID. I had a juice and my friend has a coffee; both were good. Maybe slightly on the expensive side but very clean, delicious smelling place. I could have actually tried a chocolate muffin; it looked so tempting.
