    Lovely ambience. Loved the outdoor setup overlooking the busy lavington area. We had gone with kids, the waiter served them a single serving of hot chocolate milk on the house. The coffee and dessert experience was excellent

    Artcaffé Lavington offers a great customer service, has free wi-fi, and has a great ambiance. Besides that, they have great food which are really palatable and scrumptious. Another thing their staffs are genuinely humble and quick to serve you. Guys try this place out, I bet you won't be disappointed. Kudos Artcaffé team, you are a dime.👌

    I loved the way they have displayed the spread of breads and cakes and cookies alongside of flowers. Making it look pleasing and inviting. The combination of colours and display is inviting. Besides this I enjoyed the morning English breakfast and warm welcome. Will re visit soon.

    Their carrot cake is always the real deal 💯 and the soup was good too. Really beautiful space too.. Although outside is really cold during this month (June) .. Please only sit outside if you're dressed warm or have a date that's willing to offer you their jacket (like my date 😁) otherwise you risk freezing the hell out.

    The pastries are on point. Currently in offer. Various tea cake flavours are too on sale. Restaurant has spacious indoor and outdoor space. Located on the ground floor

    Ambiance on point for both indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Just the place to get that homework or essay written. Fast wifi, clean toilets 😁, good prices, amazing service!

    Still the best breakfast for the price in town. Unfortunately they did away with the more comfortable indoor seating, but you’ll always find a table outside. Wait staff are warm, well versed in the menu and able to assist you if you need suggestions.

    Service was not the best yet the place was not full. Food was average as well. Maybe we were just unlucky :(

  • 1/5 john n. 1 year ago on Google
    took them 45 minutes to serve one salad and in between all this 4 waiters came and checked if I was served and a supervisor who seemed to be supervising himself and not his staff..... this even after telling the waiting service that my salad was taking a bit too long the lady moves my salad to the counter and it seats there for another 5 minutes as the counter service team casually gossip and talk about the weather as they proceed to spaltter spit on my salad. bad service you can enjoy the salad I just ordered with your non mask wearing staff

    The need to use Internet data to just pick a food item is very tedious and expensive if one doesn't have Internet data bundles. Better know what you want before you sit.

  • 4/5 Wanjiru A. 1 year ago on Google
    I love ArtCaffe, but in the past two weeks, have had less than positive encounters with them. On Sunday, ordered from this branch, delivery was good, but my son ended up in hospital with food poisoning. I wouldn't normally rush to identify the culprit, but he had had no other meal so it's not an elimination process. We've eaten the same meal while dining in, hence not sure what went wrong. It would be great to have consistency in quality whether dine in/take out

  • 5/5 irfan v. 2 years ago on Google
    This place always delivers! Enough of parking available, inside & outside seating plus they open early which is good. Food is great. Their French bread for breakfast is really really good. Service is ok too. I also love how there’s several plants around the patio which gives some sense of privacy & greenery.

    Nice meet a friend place. Waiters can do better by suggesting what to eat. Cheque should be in a folder

  • 5/5 Aoko G. 8 months ago on Google
    I recently visited here for breakfast and while the service left a positive impression, I found myself less than enthused by a particular element of my meal. Upon arrival, I was greeted with friendly service that set a welcoming tone for my morning. Eagerly, I placed an order for the classic French toast, a dish that typically arrives with a side of assorted fruits. To complement my meal, I ordered my go-to single vanilla latte, a choice that rarely disappoints. However, my excitement waned when the fruit side was presented alongside the French toast. The assortment included sweet melon, pineapple, green apple, banana, and watermelon. Unfortunately, my disappointment stemmed from the fact that the fruits didn't live up to the expected standard. The selection itself was promising – a medley of fruits that, when fresh and flavorful, could have beautifully balanced the meal. Regrettably, the execution was lacking. The sweet melon and pineapple, which are usually bursting with succulent sweetness, seemed lackluster in flavor. The green apple and banana lacked the vibrancy and crispness that indicate freshness. Even the watermelon, a typically refreshing choice, seemed somewhat lackadaisical. The lack of taste and apparent freshness in the fruit selection was a letdown, as it compromised the harmony of the dish. While the French toast itself was satisfactory and my single vanilla latte was a comforting delight, the subdued fruit side left a noticeable void in the overall experience. Despite this, I must commend their attentive service. The staff's warm and accommodating demeanor contributed positively to the ambiance, and I genuinely appreciated their efforts to make my visit pleasant. In summary, my breakfast experience here was a mix of positive and less satisfying aspects. The amiable service and well-prepared vanilla latte were highlights, yet the lack of taste and freshness in the fruit assortment alongside the French toast dampened the overall enjoyment. I offer this review constructively, hoping that they consider refining their fruit offerings to match the high standard set by their service.

  • 4/5 Ivy K. 9 months ago on Google
    It has a great ambience that is perfect for work meetings or working on your own. They have lovely coffee that is rich in taste. And their service is quick and efficient. I definitely recommend their pastries to anyone who is a sweet tooth or is looking for something new because they're phenomenal. 9/10 experience overall..try out an artcaffe near you!

    Great service and atmosphere... the food quality has really gone down. Got a strand of hair on my broccoli after finishing my chips and sweet sauce chicken... which was actually delicious but that was a downer.

    Art cafe lavington. Our waitress Hannah was an absolute darling 😍 she took great care of us. The management led by Duncan the supervisor was impeccable to say the least. We enjoyed a delicious pizza and wine. Thanks art cafe. 💕

  • 5/5 Jagjit S. 1 year ago on Google
    This cafe place serves best coffee, milkshakes, snacks, breakfast, cocktails, juices. A perfect place to have business meetings, friends meeting and if you want to take your girlfriends then there is no better place than this. This place provides you very good enviornment to talk to people and to spend time with your own company.

    Modern western standard restaurant. Good coffee. Expensive. Access from eastbound Mombasa road. Clean bathrooms. Good variety. Slow service

  • 1/5 Michael A. 6 months ago on Google
    They only had one steak, of which I ordered a medium and received a very well-done several other meat dishes not available, only 3 cold Tusker lites, received a wrong order on a chicken burger. Management was apologetic but I won't be back.

  • 1/5 Winnie Y. 4 months ago on Google
    I always loved artcafe but not so much now after two cases of stomach upset after eating their food( from the restaurant- cooked food especially)....and it has happened to someone else I know.. kindly review the standards for us to continue enjoying artcafe food.

  • 5/5 Tracy L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very warm welcoming by the waiters and keen attention to making sure you are comfortable nice cool atmosphere,my only problem is the cup they are using to serve people coffee and a lemon ginger tea is too small for the price they are charging then they are not ceiving the ginger hence not fun to drink fibre.otherwise i loved and enjoyed everything.

  • 1/5 Priyan K. 4 months ago on Google
    Did a take way order and informed the waitress allergic to capsicum and still I was given food with capsicum, sometimes I feel Artcaffee waitresses are working like robots and do not take instructions well. Waste of my money. The worst part trying to reach the customer service lane is next to impossible. Very disappointed.

  • 4/5 Dan W. 5 years ago on Google
    The meal was really good. However their menu isn't diverse. It's more of a variation of a main dish. Nonetheless, the meal is quite balanced and I like the fact that they bring the different dips such as guacamole on the plate. The plate design fits in with their artsy decor and the drinks are good too. A bit pricey but a good place to pop in once in a while. Can be a challenge to get seating at the peak hours and they have a smoking zone and a bar that makes good cocktails and has good beer.

    Their English Breakfast is good. It could be better if the Chef wouldn’t keep making overdone omelette . Their bread is always fresh which is very good.

  • 5/5 Rosebell A. 3 years ago on Google
    The online experience from the Artcaffe bakery is painless and very efficient. Their cakes are out of this world and they deliver on time. The cake was very fresh, moist and tasty. It was perfect for our Christmas celebration and the packaging was elegantly done. I would recommend their cakes over and over again.
