👍👍 As the saying goes, first impression is the best impression, this place was the first place where we had our breakfast in Kenya and its nothing short of amazing. The egg sandwiches and crossinat were pure gold and on top the masala tea was fantastic. People often mention good, Great, great, service, Good, Nice,

    This is the first Urban Coffee outlet so it's the smallest in size but the menu is extensive and a kids menu is available too. Prices have gone up since I was here last but they have a good deal on the breakfast.

    Java house Adam's (the original) was rather empty on this day. The food order also took long. I have enjoyed beef steaks in other Java houses but not this one. The beef in the burger did not taste quite fresh but the fries and the house coffee was good. WiFi was also operational and the waiters helpful.

    I definitely love the place. The supervisor kinda sneaky... I gave him 1000 ksh for the servant and instead giving her all the money, he took 200 ksh for himself giving that little girl only 800 ksh... not cool but I don't know their business... Other than that the food was ok and people were pretty cool. Overall a nice place.

👍👍 I visited theKoinange street branch (at Rubis Petrol Station). Professionally-friendly staff and good food with fair portions. The mini fruit salad topped with honey, nuts and plain yogurt was the bomb dot com. Totally worth trying if you don't want to feel too guilty about your Macros check 😊
