On a lovely afternoon, I found myself at Artcaffe To-Go, located at the TotalEnergies Thika Highway Service Station in Thika, Kenya. The bakery coffee shop radiated a cozy atmosphere that beckoned me in for a quick bite. I was instantly drawn to the aromatic scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air.
After browsing their tempting menu, I decided to try their Caramel Latte for KES 250, a delightful combination of rich espresso, creamy milk, and luscious caramel drizzled on top. I also couldn't resist picking up a freshly baked Blueberry Muffin for only KES 150. Each bite was a burst of flavor, with the sweet blueberries perfectly complementing the soft, fluffy muffin.
The service at Artcaffe To-Go was exceptional. I was warmly greeted by James, the attendant who took my order. His friendly demeanor and knowledge of the menu made my experience even better. He recommended the carrot cake as a must-try, which I vowed to have on my next visit!
As I settled into a cozy corner, enjoying the lovely ambiance with soothing background music, I noticed their inviting display of pastries and desserts. With such a variety, including cakes, cookies, and various pastries, there's something for everyone. I also appreciated that Artcaffe To-Go has options for those on the go, making it perfect for busy individuals looking for a quick meal option without compromising on quality.
By the time I left, I felt satisfied not just by the delicious food but also by the overall warm experience. My visit at around 2 PM was perfectly timed as the shop wasn’t overly crowded, allowing for a peaceful dining environment. I left with a take-out box containing a slice of their famous carrot cake, which was less than KES 300, making it an irresistible deal to enjoy later.
If you're driving along the Thika Highway, I highly recommend stopping by Artcaffe To-Go at the TotalEnergies Service Station. Whether you're in need of a quick caffeine fix, a sweet treat, or a hearty meal, you will surely leave satisfied. Thanks to James and the entire team for making my afternoon a delightful one!
