    Nice cozy cafe in the mall. The people are very friendly and helpful. The food on paper looks very delicious but it is not very tasty. The regular coffee is really bad maybe try the espressos might be a little stronger. The toilet area is relatively clean, but really small.

  • 5/5 Christian H. 5 months ago on Google • 407 reviews
    This location is so relaxing. The terrace is really nice and the nearby road does not disturb at all. The coffee is good; perhaps not the best in Nairobi but very good. We had breakfast and lunch (pancakes are good as was the panini). The cakes are average. I ordered a ‘bread basket’ which was a joke- three pieces of bread and barely enough butter/jam. Aside from that mishap, I really enjoyed coming here.

    I have been a customer of the Art Cafe at Westgate for a long time and this morning I was confronted with an extremely unpleasant experience. After ordering a simple breakfast of eggs, we had to wait for 1 hour and 15 minutes for the order despite of several inquiries from our side. The food was cold, badly done and not prepared the way we ordered it. The waiter in charge (Francis) offered a very low-quality service. I wish you could spare your customers with such experiences in the future.

    If you are around the Westland area of Nairobi, then this is an option. They serve good breakfast. I was there once and I liked the atmosphere there.

    Like in most restaurants in Nairobi frequented by expats, the service is top notch. The food was good and the smoothie too. We went there for a quick lunch, and both opted for salads, which, although easy to make, can easily turn out unpleasant. I am looking forward to trying something else from their menu.

    Love the vibe of this place. You can also work done if you looking to sit with a laptop and a drink by the side. They have amazing cake slices, bread based items, many drink options. Best part is they have many options for vegetarians too. Must recommend!

    One of the most elegant places to enjoy your coffee, your breakfast, lunch or even your dinner in the capital of Kenya. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The dishes are delicious and well prepared and the place is so clean, comfortable and beautiful. I recommend it 1000 %. Greetings from Greece

    Nice ambience. Pricey tag on food and drinks but definitely value for your money. Portions are also just right. Staff are friendly and attentive to details. Definitely a date worthy location if you looking to treat someone special.

  • 3/5 Dino C. 4 months ago on Google • 120 reviews
    Atmosphere is good and nice. Waiting so long for cappuccino,not very good taste in case, practically without foam,and that is already enough for don't call cappuccino,good thing is coming in the correct cup. Than we ordered samosa to "share", less than half than normal shape,so what we share? So atmosphere is good,but about the rest need some improvement.

  • 3/5 A. H. 7 months ago on Google • 108 reviews
    The food is mostly good but - the service is quite slow especially at night. It took almost an hour for our food to come one time. Nevertheless, the food is worth it.

  • 5/5 Bright 2 years ago on Google
    Greatest ambience you'll get in Nairobi. Close to perfect service. Great food. Heavenly coffee.

  • 4/5 Martin Ballantyne B. 1 year ago on Google
    Consistently the food is always fresh and tasty. Repeat drinks service could be better, overall staff friendly. facilities well kept.

  • 5/5 Samuel C. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mykhaylo T. 2 years ago on Google
    Good cafe with a good coffee and pastries. Regular food is also good. Situated inside of shopping mall. Completely safe. Good place for business meetings

  • 3/5 Housam L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice clean establishment ideal for meetings or silo LP work . Not too impressed by the food from what I eat ie the fish snapper and Fries were dry and over cooked . Have breakfast 4 times and all three times had to return the eggs because they were really really cold ! Room for improvement is quite easy if managed .

  • 5/5 Ema K. 2 years ago on Google
    The chicken wings were amazing but my greatest highlight were the commissioned ART which are for sale if you wanted to buy one. Love the support for artist💜

  • 5/5 M. K. 2 years ago on Google
    AC has the best Drinks, hands down.. the Barristers know their craft. Superb. 🤌🏾 The Westgate AC has The most comfortable seats, good lighting... Lose the pop playlist, Kenny G will do... Outdoor section is to die for.. esp in the eve. Cool stuff. Fair to Premium prices... Get to Know their menu. Either way, amazing for Nerds, Dates and Meetups.

  • 3/5 Miss M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice ambience. 4th time here in this branch specifically. All four times, I've had to wait for 15 mins before any of the wait staff shows interest. Seems like no one in that establishment cares for anything. Food was not too good. Overall not a good experience for me.

  • 5/5 Hari W. 2 years ago on Google
    We were in the city for one day and ended up having breakfast and lunch here. Its really amazing, food is good and vibe is great. We accidentally dropped our coffee, the server cleaned it up quite quickly and even replaced our coffee (at no charge and without us requesting). Prices are decent and they had a breakfast offer with Mimosa and beer. Not sure when I would travel to Nairobi but this is a must visit place.

  • 5/5 Emmanuel P. 2 years ago on Google
    The waiter was on point. The home made chilli sauce is amazing.

  • 4/5 Kwendo W. 2 years ago on Google
    It's clean, spacious and fetching. The service is superb and staff are friendly, quick and helpful. Above all, the food is delicious which is why it is popular with individuals, groups and families. Surprise, surprise! It is surprisingly quiet.

  • 5/5 Kelvin 11 months ago on Google
    Open space that is great for hangouts, official work meets. The service is exceptional,short and precise and most orders take no more than 5 mins. The seat arrangement Allows for random pairing,i.e, seating for two,or three..or four. Generally the place is great for meeting your loved ones and creating memories ir closing business deals,if you're into that sort of business handling.

  • 3/5 Aisha A. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Good food and ambience. Sometimes a hit and miss. I just got a brownie, they said it is fresh and maybe it is but it is horrendous. One of the worst brownies I’ve ever had.

    My favourite restaurant at the Westgate mall. Best of the best. Security has really been improved at the mall. Is a place to visit. They have got varieties of meal to choose from. You can never go wrong. Cheers

  • 4/5 Jussy lazate L. 10 months ago on Google
    The coffee was amazing pro tip have a QR code scanner atmosphere is amazing and there's a smoking zone and non smoking zone so be clear when you ask to sit outdoor

  • 5/5 hugo b. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice cosy place. Bought a bag of beans and I had to taste it first so the very kind staf offered mee a free espresso which tasted great!

  • 5/5 Brian A. 8 months ago on Google
    Two rivers branch....The service was extremely disappointing. I sat for almost 30 minutes, waiting for someone to come outside and serve me. Then the waitresses all disappear and stay in side. What's the use of the outside patio if you only concentrate service inside? Redeeming quality was the food was good, although small potion for the fish and chips.

  • 5/5 Levi M. 9 months ago on Google
    Other than the food taking some time to be served, I really enjoyed my dining experience here! Excellent food, staff and ambience. This is a place one can never go wrong with.

  • 4/5 Baiju M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the granola breakfast. The quantity has gone down and when earlier it used to be a sufficient meal, now you are left unsatisfied. Overall the ambience is still great and hence the attraction to go back. Value for money quotient is going down!

  • 4/5 S S. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited many times over the past few years and the coffee and tea selections are excellent. They also have a vegan breakfast option. Staff are very friendly and attentive

  • 5/5 Alissa Shanice T. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this location. The staff are friendly and professional and it’s always a relaxing atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Melvin D. 1 year ago on Google
    My welcome was a very warm one on a windy Friday morning. All the waitresses and supervisors have a morning huddle and wear bright smiles when talking to their customers.I was convinced to opt for the double Capuccino and complimentary pastry at 450/= KES. Excellent choice.The beef pie had a nice flaky pastry and came with a piquant green chilli sauce which mixed with Tabasco hit just the right spot. A really wonderful experience

  • 3/5 Hesham D. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality is OK but not the same in different branches and time.

  • 5/5 Mahmoud Hassan (Mahmoud h. 1 year ago on Google
    Many branches in Nairobi, highly recommended. I ordered the steak of the day and was amazing, enjoyed the food and the place. The desert was also excellent, ordered the dark forest. Also, tried the croissant once with almond and once with chocolate, both were very good The prices are a little high

  • 4/5 irfan v. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved my experience this morning! Got there @ 8:30am & went straight out to the patio. It’s 14°c with cloudy skies. I sit over the corner reading my book. The ‘trainee’ comes up to me, indicates she’s a trainee & takes my order. The ambience, lighting, morning tranquility, decor - impeccable!! Felt like I’m having a latte in Austria. Food was great but needs to be slightly amended. Got the full platter salmon/ eggs Benedict. The plate is excessively large with a rather small portion! You could have the same portion in a smaller plate.

  • 2/5 Garrett - Adams L. 3 years ago on Google
    Why should a place specialised in coffee take 26 minutes to serve 2 cups of coffee? Not to mention the 12 minutes it took for someone to come to take our order.

  • 5/5 harleen j. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Jacqueline T. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was very perfect. Service was quite slow and they kept forgetting everything. I think the waiter/waitress should have a book to write the orders.

  • 4/5 divyesh h. 4 years ago on Google
    A reasonably good shopping mall with lots of shops and restaurants. Artcaffe is one of the best restaurants at the mall with reasonable prices and lots of options to choose from. Food is excellent especially the homemade chilli sauce (which you have to request when you order, it's not on the menu) 👍
