Jackfruit Cafe — Restaurant in Kilimanjaro

I enjoy the food here and the service from the staff is good, however I do think the management need to empower their staff to deal with poor behaviour from customers. Today at lunch my meal was interrupted by the loud obnoxious voice of an American mzungu, (who was sitting on the complete otherside of the gardens from me) belowing at another table, thinking he had the right to tell others to be quiet... the irony. The staff did not act on this and I do feel as a regular customer that the staff need to stamp out bthe disgusting entitlement of tourists. This group of old, grey haired americans travelling with Tro-peak Adventures should hve been asked to quieten down, be respectful of everyone else at the establishment, or to pay their cheque and leave.

Earlier in the week the staff also did not act when a bunch of (yet again white) expats/tourists, allowed their children (and at times encouraged) their 3-6year old blonde children to throw sticks and shoes at the yet to ripen fruit hanging in a tree. Grossly disrespectful, wasteful, and inconsiderate of the establishment and other customers. The children then went on to start attempting to throw the hard unripened fruit over the brick wall next to where I was sitting, often having them go sideways and bouncing on my table.

Management need to stamp out these disgusting behaviours at their cafe by empowering staff to stop and/or move on those causing these disturbances.

It makes the cafe unpleasant to be in when anti-social behaviours...

After a TOUGH week of climbing the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, we took a walk to the FABULOUS Jackfruit Cafe. WOW. What an oasis of calm & tranquility. Super chilled out vibe with wonderful gardens, tables & chairs, a large canopy (to sit under) for rainy season (which it was!). Inside was clean & modern, strong free wifi everywhere, truly relaxing. Clientele was a mix of tourists, ex-pats, locals & families (there was a small playground too), creating a wonderful mixed and vibrant atmosphere. The owner & all the staff were really friendly & helpful, the food FANTASTIC too. We had pizza's, proper stonebaked European style Neopolitan pizza in an autentic home built pizza oven. We ordered a calamari dish too to share, fresh, wonderfully seasoned, and utterly delicious. A few ice cold local beers over a long lunch, playing cards in the garden was the PERFECT end to a great trip. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you so much (I didn't catch the name of lady who I was talking to, but you are AWESOME!). If you go to...

My favourite spot for a coffee or a pizza in Moshi! Beautiful backyard and lovely chilled music inside. Good wifi, so it makes it a nice spot to work/homeoffice. Kind staff (thanks Anthony!)

They even have alcoholic drinks and Twiga beer on tap (although I didn't like it, probably had a mistake of brewing. For a craft beer I'd rather visit the small brewery called Maisha, few meters from here. Still not even on GoogleMaps, but ask the locals!).

May be obvious, but Jackfruit is more frequented by 'mzungus' than locals 😅 so if looking for the true local/tanzanian experience, for sure this is...
