Kahawa Cafe — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

Kahawa Cafe at Shoppers Plaza in Dar es Salaam has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I love the laid-back vibe here—it’s perfect whether you’re catching up with friends, squeezing in some work with their fast WiFi, or simply enjoying a quiet moment on your own.

One of the things that really stands out is the drink menu. Their lemon iced tea and passion iced tea are absolute delights—refreshingly tangy and just the right mix of sweetness to brighten any day. The bakery items are also a treat; everything is fresh and delicious, making it hard to resist grabbing a pastry along with your coffee.

The service is excellent, adding to the overall warm and welcoming experience. And if you’re in the mood for something more than just a drink, the pizza here is surprisingly good—a tasty bonus to the great food and drinks.

Overall, Kahawa Cafe is a fantastic spot for meeting friends, working remotely, or simply indulging in some top-notch coffee and treats. Highly recommended if you’re in...

I literally had to laugh at my experience here because I have never witnessed service that was this bad.

I would have been more generous with my rating if at least the food was good but unfortunately it was bland. Salt and pepper is a chefs best friend.

The one good thing about this restaurant is the atmosphere is pleasant and looks pretty, but they need to work on the customer...

Kahawa Cafe years ago used to be the best place for coffees and sandwiches.

Unfortunately the standards have dropped drastically. Ordered a cheese beef burger. The beef was spoilt. It was so overcooked but it was so smelly and rancid. One bite and I had to spit it out.

Another time the chicken sandwich was dry and the cheese tasted extremely old. It was very off putting.

The flies in that area is also really bad. The minute food is served all the flies rush the table.

The only thing good about this place is the service. The waiters are very pleasant. But then again I am not going there to enjoy the...
