Cafe Sofrito Uganda — Restaurant in Kampala

Cafe Sofrito is a refined gem that delivers elegant dining in Komamboga, a vibrant and emerging hub for Kampala’s young, affluent middle class. The ambiance is tasteful, with warm lighting, clean décor, and a welcoming layout that strikes the right balance between modern and cozy.

The menu, however, could benefit from greater flexibility. I was seeking a low-carb option, and while the young waiter was helpful and attentive, the choices felt limited.

They have clean washrooms and the place is as quite as preferred by most people mostly at night. It operated upto around midnight for the time I was there. It’s also a good place for the family and friend diner. As well as...

Good internet connection. The service was great, and the food was okay, but nothing particularly special. The heat in the restaurant, requiring us to request air conditioning, was not the best part. Thank you for not playing music, as it creates an ideal environment for conversations and work. Great choice.

Café Sofrito is becoming my neighbourhood hideout for remote work. The waitresses are kind as well, and the washrooms are...
