Awesome coffee shop! Great service and easily the best coffee in Lilongwe. The waffles and sandwiches are really tasty - would recommend highly to anyone looking for a quiet spot to work from while enjoying a delicious meal.

A bit of a hidden gem in area 10 Lilongwe. Nice staff and tasty coffee/ cakes. I love their early opening hours and it generally feels like a chilled place. Extra plus, they have a small library and it's cheap to become a member (about 5000 MK).

Just here to shout how this is the place I'll always vouch for. Determined to always up their game, come rains, electricity faults or lack of fuel 🥹

A very relaxing atmosphere, great friendly service, and the coffee was superb! Their Chimichurri Burger is hands-down the BEST hamburger I've ever had - juicy, flavourful, and reasonably priced.

Such a hidden gem! I fell in love with this coffee shop after entering to a great coffeehouse music playlist, friendly staff, and accessible plugs to sit and do work on your computer. The best part was ordering a Black n Tan (coffee + Coca Cola + cream) and it was free because someone had “paid it forward”. Clearly the customers reflect the quality of this cozy coffee shop.

Cozy place with great vibes and extensive garden. The lemonade is one of the best I had in my life and the veggie burger was delicious as well.
