    Modern, minimal coffee shop tucked away in an alley. Coffee served was great but the cost to buy the beans to take home was too much ($18 a bag!)

    They don’t have internet, instead, I bet they have the greatest coffee and brownie in Zanzibar. You can enjoy various types of hand drip coffee, and coffee beans(they also provided ground coffee) + I wish if they open the place upto night time(they close at 5pm, and dont open on Sunday)

Brilliant coffee, brilliant cakes, brilliant ambiance, brilliant service, and a these guys knows lots about coffee and the explain your coffee to you. Have been here once and expecting to be back more often . So guys when in stone town around Shangani area don’t miss a visit.

    A cute little coffee shop away from the rush of the town. The beverages served here are beyond expectations and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The interior is very creatively set up and cosy. Various board games are also available for people looking to spend longer time at the coffee shop. Lovely ambiance for a get together. Must visit.

    As a coffee lover I was a tiny bit disappointed as their coffee is way too acidic. But the brownie…oh dear … amazing

    Incredible place. Nice coffee. They do it all themselves. The place is nice, clean, welcomable. It's a cozy and fun atmosphere. Come alone, or grab a coffee from some friends. No WiFi, but not a problem. They serve cortado, affogato, Americano. Pour overs, french press, aero press. Cookies are good too. Bathroom is clean. Staff is friendly. Definitely visit if you enjoy making, drinking, smelling coffee!

    A perfect coffee shop in Zanzibar. Best coffee I had whilst visiting and I was gutted I hadn’t been earlier. It’s a must for anyone who enjoys coffee and the owner is enthusiastic with such a passion!

    Favourite spot in Stone town located in one of the laneways with amazing coffee - freshly roasted at the coffee shop and great cold brew! It is much more than a cafe, it has a personality offering a whole experience rather than just a cuppa. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of coffee and homemade cakes accompanied by lovely service and staff. All the small details just make you feel home and it is really hard to leave. This place is a must visit, we will be definitely back!

    Top of the line coffee and informed and friendly baristas who can tell you all about it. No internet - my kind of coffee shop but be forewarned.

    Fantastic place to get a GOOD coffee. We were already in Zanzibar for 5 days and never had one good coffee until we got here. They have every type of coffee you want… from V60 to Affogatto .. Browny was a dream as well. Staff very nice and quick. Highly recommend it.

    Cozily spartan coffee shop, serving arabica-based coffees, which were expertly made. Added bonus that they roast their own beans and offer alternative milks (soy or coconut).

  • 5/5 Deann H. 9 months ago on Google • 44 reviews
    I love love love their coffee and the coconut cake (must get the recipe!!!). Stumbled upon the place while getting lost in the alley of stone town. Baristas were nice and polite. The fact that they don't have wifi and sometimes the network is bad inside, made me talk to another fellow travelers 😅😆 cozy atmosphere as well.

    I had a great coffee here, my first one in Zanzibar. The lady working was very friendly and made me feel welcome. There are a lot of coffee options, including syrups and alternative milks. The cafe is small but a nice layout- but no wifi if you need to work here. Food-wise they just had cookies and a brownie.

    Very nice atmosphere, coffee was great which we have found hard to find and the brownie was delicious. Staff were also really nice. At little bit pricier than other places but I think it is worth it.

    Truly amazing coffee - freshly made with a lot of attention to detail to make sure the taste is perfect. You can tell the staff know their coffee and make sure the quality is high. Also extremely friendly staff and a really nice ambience - we visited Puzzle Coffee Shop each day we were in Stone Town and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also great that they offer vegan milk substitutions (soy or coconut) and a huge range of filter coffee as well. We enjoyed the flat white and also V60 - highly recommended!

    The best speciality coffee in Zanzibar, beans are all locally sourced and roasted. We purchased a bag to bring home to Ireland! Alternative milk options also available!

  • 4/5 Patrik M. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn't eat anything here - but I popped in for the vibe & it looked great. Contemporary with some funky workspace areas. Closes in the afternoon, so not your first place in the morning or last place at night. But if you're intrigued by the name - pursue that curiosity!

    Coffee was alright in international standard, but in the better range on the island of Zanzibar. They do boast a roaster on display with specialty coffee certifications displayed, however roasted beans were very expensive..seems to be the trend here in cafes Choices of food is poor though. Was hoping to have a morning bite but only had cookies, brownies and a pastry that didn't look too fresh

    Half-hearted coffee I thought they brought a different coffee not the Cortado that I ordered. It was not only how it looked like but also the taste was just so so

  • 4/5 Sara A. 1 year ago on Google
    Average coffee quality , no coffee art , compared to other specialty coffee around the world I would say it tasted like Starbucks

  • 5/5 Tarfa A. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the place vibe , one of the most lovely places to go I love the coffee + the lady who surving us was so cute and polite ♥️♥️

  • 5/5 Mohamed B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Silvia M. 2 years ago on Google
    A must try for all coffee lovers! Probably one of the best coffee shops I've ever visited. Also loved their pastries and the overall atmosphere. Excellent service and super clean place!

  • 5/5 LE C. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is very cute and cozy. Staff was friendly and nice. If you’re a coffee lover, I would definitely recommend it! Their brownie was great (soft, not too sweet, strong chocolate taste). Their cookie was good as well. They have great coffee, roast their beans and you can buy some.
