📋 About Java House Africa
Java House (formerly Nairobi Java House) is East Africa’s leading coffee house and casual dining chain, founded in 1999 by Kevin Ashley and Jon Wagner. The first outlet opened at Adam’s Arcade in Nairobi with the goal of introducing a gourmet coffee-drinking culture to Kenya. The concept evolved from a coffee shop into a full American diner-style casual dining restaurant, and today operates as a three-daypart (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) coffee-led casual dining experience beloved by millions of Kenyans.
Java House is now one of Africa’s leading coffee brands with 75+ branches in Kenya and a presence across 14 cities in three East African countries Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. The brand has also given rise to sister brands including Planet Yoghurt and 360 Degrees Pizza. Java House offers online ordering through Glovo and Uber Eats, catering services for events, a gifting range through the Java Love Pantry, and Halal-certified menus at select branches. The company’s head office is at Kings Godowns, Road C, off Enterprise Road, Nairobi.

⭐ Reviews & Ratings
Java House is a Nairobi institution, loved for its iconic Black Forest cake, gourmet coffee, all-day breakfast, and warm café atmosphere. Quality and service can vary between branches but the brand remains East Africa’s most beloved coffee house.
“Java ABC Place is my weekly treat. The Black Forest cake is genuinely the best in Nairobi — I have tried everywhere and nothing comes close. Coffee is consistently great and staff are always warm and welcoming.”
“Had a work meeting at Java Karen and it was perfect. Good WiFi, comfortable seating, great coffee. The all-day breakfast menu is impressive and the pancakes are absolutely worth it. Java is a reliable work spot.”
“Food quality can be inconsistent depending on the branch. Village Market is usually good but I had a bad experience at the airport branch with slow service and a wrong order. The coffee is always great though, regardless of location.”
“Java Two Rivers is gorgeous — great ambience, excellent service, and the menu has something for everyone including my kids. The Kiddies Menu is a lifesaver for families. Java remains our family’s favourite dining spot.”
