    Source Cafe is a great spot for a quick bite or a casual meeting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly. They have a variety of coffee and tea options, as well as delicious pastries and sandwiches. The prices are reasonable and the service is efficient. Highly recommend this cafe for a quick and satisfying meal or snack.

    Source Café in Jinja is one of the town’s oldest eat outs dating to 1997.  It provides conference space, a wide selection of food, coffee, tourist information, library, and souvenir shopping. Located on Main Street, it has a very rich history which you immediately sense as you walk in. 100% of their profits go to other development projects in Uganda. Read more at kibogroup. Their premium Arabica coffee is grown on the Kapchorwa slopes of Mount Elgon among the Bagisu people. In Jinja the parchment from the single-origin beans is removed and only the finest are hand selected. A master roaster then roasts the premium beans to perfection, providing an exceptional experience for the lover of either a dark or medium roast coffee. TAGS #PLACES Follow me on Twitter @SJK_Hopes

    The best coffee shop in Jinja. It reminds me of a colonial old town in the US. Great for people watching and it’s attached to a cute gift shop for tourists! Highly recommend for people watching as well

    Source cafe is a very good hospitable place with very good services, the coffee is really really tasty. It's one u can't forget it's taste for the rest of the time spent in Uganda. So many loving people here that u can't spend 2hrs without making new friends, the people are so social and welcoming. They welcome all kinds of people and there prices are affordable. They also have nice cakes at good prices, one other service that I saw was a church behind so if u wish to have some kind of prayers, u won't have to go far from your coffee table. They have street parking which the customer has to pay, it's not expensive at all. A few cents and u are good to go. There is access for the disabled to all the parts of the Cafe and cleanliness is at its best. Check the place out wen ur in jinja, am very sure u would love it.

    Visited that place to secure a Big contract in my life of coming out with architectural Designs and making bills of quantities for one of the best projects last year.

    I ran a travel company n I had taken our clients to Jinja but I can never ever take there any client again. I don't recommend any one to there. This is the worst place to ever shop from in Jinja. The customer care is so pathetic, the staff cheat customers by switching price tags. They sold us a broken piece at the price of a new one claiming we broke it ourselves. They are so fake. See pics of broken piece they sold to us. Thank God we got a better shop next door with far better prices and good customer service.

    Relaxing environment, spacious for maintaining SOPs in this covid times. Good customer care. There's a mini library inside and there's someone stationed therein all the time to teach you Luganda, the local language in case you are a tourist and find it important to learn the language. I should hasten to add, all at pocket friendly rates.

  • 4/5 Smooth V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location on Main St. Excellent french pressed coffee. The food and service is also good, but it usually takes a while for your food to arrive. This is a great meeting spot for me if I want to share a pot of coffee before the meal comes. Not a great spot if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

  • 5/5 MUSAU S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing place for a wonderful cup of coffee. Source cafe is a place to chill out and have your wonderful lunch, they also have gift shop if you are one who wants to bring something back home. The staff was one of the most experienc I also enjoyed so much Because they give totally a different feeling to there costumers immediately you walk in and they are very much ready to serve you with a smile. I had a great warm welcome from the boss and this means alot to costume like me. If you are in jinja town and looking for a great fresh cup of coffee then source cafe is a right place for you!

    Nice place I must say. Thou a bit pricy.

  • 4/5 Kato I. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a good place with excellent coffee options and a variety of drinks. The environment is good with an outdoor sitting better for both dinning alone and groups. They offer great customer care services with menu items on an affordable price. Parking is available for customers just besides the road. To me the place is natural filled with wood furniture and that's why I rated it four stars. I liked the place.

    Great place to relax and get a consistent bite. Just remember you are in Africa.

  • 1/5 Sigurd S. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered bacon cheeseburger with onions and lettuce. After 40 minutes, I was served plain lettuce and onions in a pile *and no burger*. 20 more minutes and I got a burger without bacon and cheese. Burger wasn’t great either, but ok. Good choc milkshake...

    Am loving the French Press coffee at a cheap price.

  • 4/5 Malachi M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is spacious. Not too many chairs and tables, but it could be because of Covid social distancing measures. The coffee is good. They have food but I did not try it. There is a library with many books that can be borrowed. A gift shop is also connected with many trinkets and gifts you can pick up for a souvenir. I bought a mug for my coffee. It's on Main Street, so it's not too difficult to find.

    (Translated by Google) A very good place in the middle of Jinja. Super delicious passion fruit juice. This is always a reason for a break on our way from Entebbe to Mbale. But the food is also delicious and the staff are competent and friendly. (Original) Ein sehr gutes Lokal mitten in Jinja. Super leckerer Passionfruitjuice. Dieser ist immer ein Grund für eine Pause auf unserem Weg von Entebbe nach Mbale. Aber auch auch das Essen ist lecker und die Mitarbeiter sind kompetent und freundlich.

  • 3/5 A B. 4 years ago on Google
    There was a timely wait for the lunch. Once it arrived I was less than impressed with the quality of the food. The eggs contained far too much salt, as did the hash browns. Good hangout spot, and I cant judge the coffee as I didnt try it. Overall 3 out of 5 stars.
