    Great ambience to hold meetings and discuss agendas after a long day. Good food and great service. Their peppermint mocha is to die for!! Worth trying them out.

    Coffee and sandwiches! Like any other Java Houses, this one also have a nice vibe. I love the chicken and cheese sandwich, their spicy fries. And this branch has kids play ground on the side - however it's not operating because of COVID.

    I recommends this place if you want a lovely start of your day I ordered a double Cuppucino and Banana bread cause i had not eaten anything from the morning.. I started first by a bite of Banana bread and i am not exaggerated if a say it was the best ever Banana bread i have had in my life 😍 Further to that i sipped an adequate amount of Cuppucino and oh la la "as french people say" , it was a very good cup of coffee, right milk foam, perfect espresso, very tasty and mood enhancer☕😊 Actually, Java house made my day ❤️ Coffee shop as it should to be 😉 you will not regret going there anytime

    Fast take-away service as you wait for your eat out order in these covid times. Found out that you can also return plastic cutlery accumulated at home from take out orders.

    `One of their more spacious outlet `Food was good `Service was okay It gets busy and there are a couple of other businesses in the space, so parking can be an issue.

    The Ben's burger is amazing with their spice fries. Love the Turkey sandwich, mint pinade is also a vibe. They serve free hot water with lemons 🍋 😍. The grilled fish is underwhelming . Was bland . Could be better.

    Java Hurlingham is an airy space, not too noisy, and well spaced out. I passed by on Monday to share a meal with my friends and catch up. *The order* My friend and I first ordered the green smoothie (made from a blend of spinach, banana, mango, celery and ginger) as we waited for another friend to join us. The smoothie, I must say, was not tasty at all. You can however order it if you're looking for a non-dairy option. The three of us wanted to have the 1/4 chicken and chips for lunch, but we were disappointed as the chicken was not available. The manager told us that they had ran out of chicken after numerous orders and that was around 2:30 pm (It's therefore wise to arrive early if you wish to order this). We however enquired from one of the waiters a few minutes later and they mentioned only one portion had remained and we opted to let one of us have it. I had the masala chips instead while my other friend had the mushroom chips. After our meals we had the chocolate fudge cake as dessert. *Portions* Their portions have significantly decreased probably owing to the rising cost of products. What used to be served in a big plate is served a smaller plate and one doesn't get full even when coupled with a drink. The 1/4 chicken and chips order was the most disappointing one as the chicken piece we received was really butchered and the chips were countable. The cake sizes have not changed and neither has the taste. *Overall experience* Java services are either a hit or miss and recently the latter is what has become the norm. I would advise anyone to consider Java if there aren't any better options around or if you wish to have a basic drink because their meals are really not all that.

    It seems Java will be Java........for high standard service. I visited Java Hurlingham and then Java Kericho and couldn't distinguish them. Clean environment, , similar furniture and spacious sitting, plus what misses out in other similar places.......courteous waiters. Well done!

    A very charming restaurant. Great cozy atmosphere, Cappuccino was great. I also ordered a banana bread, and it was heavenly. You will not regret going there anytime.

    I have been here many times. Too many busy bodies.Customer experience is zero but there is room for improvement

  • 5/5 Jeremy 1 year ago on Google
    A decent place to have a coffee date or just do some work on your laptop. They have WiFi and a small area for kids. Indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 4/5 Johnmark O. 1 year ago on Google
    They were slow in taking our orders. I don't know if it's a lack of staff or some other reason. Eventually we were served and the Peppermint Mocha is a drink i'd recommend to anyone

  • 3/5 Warui N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place...service was okay, not top teir just okay. Getting space inside might be hard people like sitting inside more than outdoors. Great for meetings

  • 3/5 Doreen G. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to grab quick lunch or an informal meeting. Not suitable for formal meetings as it's quite noisy due to the fact that it borders a busy road.

  • 5/5 Nancy A. 1 year ago on Google
    I just love how Java is always customer focused. Their packaging is just awesome 👌🏾 My order was promptly & catefully delivered. You can't afford not being addicted to their Dawa drink. It comes in handy, especially in this cold, rainy weather 🙂 Special appreciation to their Hurligham branch staff 🙌🏾👏🏾

  • 4/5 Christine R. O. 8 months ago on Google
    Food - Dawa to go is always a treat! Your little vial of honey though, isn't working! A far cry from the little jugs that you did before. Please reconsider this move or have them in a larger size. Space - Airy space. Friendly service. Noisy though - Java sounds and traffic! 👀

    Had good service and my BLT with cheese was made very well. No skimping on the bacon. Cafe latte was just perfect for the cold weather.

  • 5/5 Bright Chimezie I. 5 years ago on Google
    Java house is a well crafted and sweetly designed spot for quick and easy relaxation. It's table pattern arrangement is that which can support quick business meetings, semi causal official appointments etc. It's location is such that it çan serve as a quick escape from Nairobi traffic jam, it's centrality can make it easy for friends, colleagues and associates to quickly meet together for meeting, coffee and other social engagement. A critical safety concern to me is the fact that a petrol service station is attached to its premises, though highly and professionally kept, but then, this calls for specific fire safety attention all the time. But then, the safety standards already in place by the operators of the petrol station, Shell is of excellent standard. The environment is conducive. It has parking space. It has public restrooms/washrooms/conveniences. It has wheelchair access Space. And above all, well friendly and smiling service staff members.

    The place is wonderful. They have less staff, though. I somehow understand the economic times.

  • 5/5 Andreas M. 4 months ago on Google
    Nairobi Kilimanjaro favourite petrol station coffee and eating spot. Don’t people just love to meet and talk and talk and talk at this place. Better come early cause there’s hardly always any seats left if you want to start your stories late

    Hurlingham Java has a nice ambiance compared to others, and yes the food is always nice. I go for ice cream after dinner and you should try Sunday Brownies with 3 scoops of Ice cream (Salted Caramel, Chocolate and Cookies Chips) and don't forget to tell them to pour chocolate at the top. It's yummy.

    Enough sitting space, good food, convenient for meetings. the only down-side is that I never seem to get parking space every time I visit.

    The place has continued to maintain its charm despite Covid-19 restrictions and the food standards are maintained. Staff managed to serve at an appreciable pace despite a sizeable crowd. I'll definitely be back for my favorite chocolate milk shake that never disappoints.
