Kesh Kesh is a place where you can experience traditional Eritrean coffee ceremony and mechanical coffee brewing. The cafe has a great ambience, providing working space and free access to wifi. The cafe also sells roasted coffee beans, brewing gadgets and accessories.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Kileleshwa. Delightful, relaxing and welcoming vibe. Superb single estate coffee from Kenya and several other East African countries, roasted on site. Delicious Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine. Great place to hang out and enjoy for a couple of hours.

Outstanding place for breakfast. Is in a secure area and very safe. The coffee is very very good. The food is absolutely delicious. Service is very fast, friendly and attentive.

This place is amazing! Light and airy ambiance, friendly staff with good service, and amazing food!! I had the shiro (best while hot) and immediately texted my friend to ask her to come with me sometime to try it. I had a demoralizing day before coming here but left feeling better. Will be back to try their coffee! Update: they have moved locations and the new ambience is lovely while the staff and Eritrean food remains just as wonderful. Check out their house-roasted coffee beans too. Adding some photos of the new place

WILL NOT RECOMMEND - Came with my family following the strong reviews. Very disappointed and would not return. Pro: nice decor and environment Cons: see below. We were a group of four. We ordered: A pasta arrabbiata, full English breakfast, meat samosa, Jebena coffee, flat white, dawa w honey. The service was very slow, albeit being the only sit in customer at the time. Food and drinks came at the same time, so we were left without a drink for a long while. Food: the pasta was extremely spicy! You will find pieces of green bird eye chilli in the arrabbiata (which is a very unusual thing to find). I had one bite and my partner brought it to the staff’s attention. I indicated that I do not want any more/other food and the food was taken away. The full English breakfast was equally poor - it had no flavour at all - we had two bites, and the rest was left untouched. We had asked for a shot of milk as well to serve with the black coffee. To my surprise, this shot of milk, is charged at 100 Ksh. Our total bill was Ksh 3600 - charged at full price, and nope, no one came to discuss the experiences, the meal, why was it not finished, what can be done. We paid and can’t leave quick enough.

EXCELLENT place, great service, FANTASTIC coffee, delicious tasty food. 10/10. Have already been coming back. Also so many lovely touches that make this place a gem. Eg the Ethiopian coffee comes with popcorn and incense - made my day. Beautiful cozy yet fresh ambiance.

I had a great experience at an early breakfast meeting. They were open by 7 am and their service was fast and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the place👌🏾

Great to work from/ have meetings at

Vibes on vibes. Could improve on the food portions for the injera

Amazing coffee. Food is pretty good. Environment is very relaxing they have free wifi and many outlets if you want to do some work.

Great restaurant/cafe. Clean, spacious, friendly staff and delicious Eritrean food & coffee! Came here to work for the day and the wifi was great + plenty of outlets.

Very cute cafe in a quiet back yard. The food is very nice and the coffee great. Friendly service to top it all off.

Excellent coffe and juices! Awesome place to work. Definitely coming back :)

Great food, great coffee and great service! My fav spot

Kesh Kesh is wonderful for a brunch. The environment is chill and the menu lives up to the hype. If you wanna try Eritrean cuisines, check it out.

Yooooo this place is unmatched. Reigning heavyweight champion of the world. The decor, the plants, the open setup. The food? Omg the food. The coffee? Don’t even get me started on the coffee. Whether you want a traditional Eritrean coffee experience or a nice medium light roast perfectly brewed in the Chemex. You can’t go wrong. And then, grab a bag of coffee beans to go. They’ll even grind it for you. I can’t explain how much I love this place — and I’ve only been there ONCE. Can’t wait to go back. Perfect place to get some writing done —- get hype off the coffee, then when your brain and stummy start to hurt, order some yummy food.

Simply the best coffee house in Nairobi. The owner wears traditional Eritrean garb as she brews the jebena coffee in-front of your table - it’s even served with incense. The coffee variety is exceptional, and the traditional Eritrean food is also not to be missed.

Visited yesterday 1/11/22. Ordered a double latte and a hot chocolate. I specified that the latte should be very hot. It was lukewarm at best. We paid and left only to find that someone had parked behind us and we couldn't leave. The Askaris informed us that the owner of that car was at Kesh Kesh. A female staff member in a traditional Eritrean outfit was adamant that he wasn't there. She kept passing notes to the Askaris which was highly suspicious. Long story short, we missed a very important meeting because the owner of the car showed up 40 minutes later. He was indeed at Kesh Kesh apparently meeting with the owner or manager. He asked why he wasn't called earlier since they all knew where he was. That whole experience left a really bad taste in out mouths and we have no intention of ever returning and neither would we recommend it.

Excellent place , good for unwinding over an Ethiopian coffee with light snacks and bitting. Only issue I saw was that the chef was handling food with bare hands and no cap . Did not eat my chicken salad completely after what I saw. Yucks 🤮 Check their kitchen before you order the food. Coffee is fine though. I enjoyed the rest ...

We enjoyed the place, the food, the coffee, the music and the wonderful service of the kind people. Very recommended!

Great Coffee place to visit in a cozy backyard. They have a variety of very tasty coffee, traditional as well as modern. Definitely worth a visit.

One of my favourite places to hang out and grab a bite

Great new cafe that serves both European and Eritrean/Ethiopian coffee and food. The ambience is chic with an outside seating area, if you want to work. Good service

Great coffee shop, great location. Very authentic. Lots of seating options inside and outside.

The restaurant has good ambiance. The waiters are really friendly and ready to help. The cocktail 🍹 juice I had was one of the best I have had in a long time. Although the place is known for ethiopian food they have something for everyone. They also have a wide range of coffees and teas to chose from. Their prices are affordable. Oh and the music is entertaining and mellow.

Good coffee. Great vibe

Really great coffee, amazing food and very friendly staff! Really good vibes!

Excellent service, very clean ladies bathroom

Beautiful blend of authentic East African and Western food. Superb coffee. Awesome location. Service was spot on. I don't go back to a place unless it really is worth. This one is worth it!

Excellent food and very clean bathroom (ladies) although needs more than one.

Great food and cozy environment

Serb service

The food is soooooo good!

Nice place

I had THE best cappuccino and a really yummy avocado wrap. The service was superb too! It's the best experience overall I've had in any restaurant for a while. I also loved the location and outside sitting area.

Good food, a bit slow in the kitchen and cold during evening hours. But all on all recommendable although I preferred their old location.

Their cappuccinos are something close to perfect. The food is nice, too. I come 30 minutes early for lunch meetings to have some alone time with the latte art and crema. Truly world class.

Tasty Eritrean food 👍 Cosy space, lots of plants around the space as well 👍

ABSOLUTE WORST Business in Nairobi I called to pick up some coffee Beans – I selected a 1 kg bag that was clearly marked 1 Kg and paid for it. I was then told it was only 800g – Okay whatever. I was then told that I could not have one off the shelf but they would get it. A couple of minutes later, I was told that it would be 15 minutes. I was running late, so I said that I could not wait and could I please have my money back. The staff just ignored me. I asked again and again – politely at first. Not one of the staff did anything – they did not even have the courtesy to answer me. I had to ask or demand my money 9 times! They kept me waiting until they brought the coffee – by this time I was very angry as I have never been so badly treated by so many staff members in my life. I insisted that I get my money back and will never go back. If they cannot even label their coffee the right weight and if that is how they treat customers, I would not be risk to eat or drink there.

It has very good coffee.

Best coffee in Kilimani. I wish they had good sweets.

Good ambience, goos service.. Love the coffee

Lovely little place nicely tucked away..perfect for quiet coffee meets. Service good and an interesting selection of coffee..and Ethiopian food. Ambience good though outdoor sitting does get chilly in the evening..

Super attentive wait staff. Great food options. The price point is premium for food but standard for drinks and you're getting what you pay for. Service is King and these guys know how to do service. Great ambiance for a Café friendly staff and great coffee options! What more can you ask for from a café? I give it five stars. It exceeds expectations while being exactly what it's advertised to be. Good customer service gives you an experience not just a product and I recommend this experience to everyone.

Really delightful to go somewhere with such a brilliant atmosphere, felt like we were taken on an experience, music, taste, smells, sight. Fantastic! Amazing value!!! Recommend for anyone.

Nice and strong coffee, nice Kesh breakfast

Nice breakfast. Good ambience.

Mix of coffee, pastries, breakfast and coffee house, and Eritrean food. Very good service. Eritrean food is okay.

Great authentic coffee... These guys really know how to brew a decent cuppa. Reasonably priced items on the menu.

Great coffee, food and service. Love the new outdoor location.

Good breakfast with lots of outlets.

Good coffee and A+ service

Nothing prepares you for the experience of being in Mini-Eritrea. At least that's how I felt when I entered this chic coffee house. The coffee culture of the Eritrean people is immediately evident from the smell freshly roasted coffee beans to the rustic yet contemporary decor. When here, you have to try the Fresh traditional coffee . It's very strong at first but it goes down like smooth whiskey. The service is quite good and the waiters alert. I shall definitely be back!

Awesome place I must go back and spend more time there. Great coffee, food and a wonderful ambience

Absolutely love the ambiance. Also gives you an authentic Eritrean coffee experience which is AMAZING

Great service peaceful ambience good food

Location is ok. Food is ok.

Delicious Ethiopian cuisines, a good place for informal meetings.

Quiet... amazing coffee...good variety in the menu. Awesome vibe.

Great space, great coffee. Good snack and food, inclusive Ethiopian food. And far from the crowded and noisy Art Caffe and alike at Yaya.

Really good ambience, friendly service and good food.

Nice ambiance,feels good and cool

(Translated by Google) Nice place! (Original) Nice place !

Excellent food. Yummy. Wonderful service. I recommend this cafe for all your Ethiopian food cravings. Went there with wife and kids and now I can hardly go a week without being asked when we are going back. Try it, you won't regret it but you'll keep going back.

There is no better place to have a coffee experience than Kesh Kesh Cafe. The ambience, reception and the in-store exhibition kinda create an appeal for you to want to try out why Kenya has the best coffee in the world 😁

Kesh Kesh has best Ethiopian/Eritrean coffee in the Hurlingham area of Nairobi.Also offers Cocktails, and a mix of basic coffee house menu as well as Exotic foods from Eritrea/Ethiopia.They do have fast wifi and parking is available in plenty. Service is pretty good as well and the manager is always around to make sure the customers are ok. 10/10 would recommend for that after work catch-up with a friend or business partner.

Coming back asap

Good service, amazing coffe, well airated space.

The pizza was delish!

Sucha vibe and you cant go wrong with Ethiopian coffee

Nice Eritrean food. Good ambience to match

The injera was a bit disappointing, bitter and cold. Perhaps its an acquired tase but I did not kike it.

The coffee, they get it right everytime.

Loved the coffee and quiche was lovely. The ambiance is lovely too

Loved it

Great Coffee, food hit or miss - some nice options. OK for work, a bit noisy - a grinding extractor fan constantly going.

The space is amazing and homely.

Good place, great concept in regards to the ambience. Just a little bit improvement in regards to the quality of orders. Generally,I liked the service

Am not a regular coffee drinker but the Eritrean / Ethiopian Coffee ☕ I've had here is so far my best... Oooohhh and the burning incense just seals the experience. Great ambiance for relaxing and work too

Love the vibe and the atmosphere of this place! The cafe is inviting and the decor is really nice. There’s plenty of seating. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and personable,.The coffee is delicious.

Awesome place to experience Ethiopian cuisines and coffee
