    We actually just stopped in for a drink and the restroom the other day, but the menu looked so good, we ordered food as well— and came back the next night for dinner! The menu is creative and delicious. Everything we tried was so good, and everyone else’s meals around us looked amazing! It’s right on the beach with really pretty accents through out. Highly recommend.

    Very nice local in Paje. Food is very good. Fast WIFI. Would be great if they take notes of the orders as there were a couple of mistakes in our order. For the rest everyhing perfect 😊

    The place has a good seaview. The food is good. I have spicy shrimp bowl. Although not really spicy for me (maybe spicy for most of people), the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is really nice and provide good service. It is a place I will come back again.

    Nice atmosphere with delicious food, drinks and a friendly staff which patiently waited and listened to our requests. And let’s not forget about the coffee as they have trained baristas ☕️

    We looove their bowls! So yummy and fresh. Went there three times. Good service. Only downside is the credit card charge of 5% extra, whereas elsewhere it's usually just 3%.

    Easily the best coffee in Zanzibar and all of mainland Tanzania. I've been living in TZ for the last six months and was thrilled to find a coffee shop with proper espresso and lattes with perfectly steamed milk. Happened upon this place on a morning beach walk and ended up going back nearly every day of our vacation. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is delicious (highly recommend the Turkish eggs and Shashuka). I was having issues with my card the first day and the owner graciously said to not worry and just come back with cash when I was able to. Well we ended up coming back that day and everyday after because of the top notch service and high quality coffee.

    What a surprise at the Paje beach. That spot at the beach, that perfect coffee (they understand the difference between espresso and ristretto), that wonderful location and very friendly service! Clear recommendation!

    Absolutely loved breakfast here. The iced latte was also excellent. The wait staff was very attentive. The Turkish eggs were so good! Also had the shakshuka on a different occasion.

    The best place for coffee on Paje! Right at the beach you can sip your favourite coffee and lounge at the very cozy benches facing the ocean. Staff is very friendly and make you feel always welcome! We happily return and can only recommend this place! ☕️👌

  • 5/5 Gabi K. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious coffee with a good view and kind service. Staff is helpful and welcoming, they can also keep an eye on your things while you're swimming. My personal favourite was iced latte, they serve it with syrup and a biscuit for 9k, I also tried their breakfast for 18k. It was tasty but the portion was a bit too small for me.

    Cannot recommend this spot enough. Came here for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised, the food is delicious, the coffee is the best we had on the island, and the service is amazing. Definitely recommend checking ZaniBarista out if you’re in the area, I promise you won’t regret it.

    ZanziBarista has such good food, amazing coffee, and a great atmosphere. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming throughout my visit. The manager Ellie was super friendly and came over for a quick chat to see if everything was to my liking. If you’re looking for a great place to hang out and have a great meal, I highly recommend stopping by ZanziBarista!

    Walked for 20 minutes on the beach hoping to get a good coffee and avo toast here, only to find out that the place is closed. According to google maps, it’s opened from 8am in the morning.
