Last Saturday afternoon, I decided to visit Artcaffé Gastro Imaara at Imaara Mall, Mombasa Road, Nairobi, and what a delightful experience it was! As soon as I stepped in, I was enveloped by the rich aroma of fresh coffee and the inviting scent of baked goods. The atmosphere was refined yet relaxed, making it perfect for both a casual lunch or a special gathering.
I arrived around 3 PM and was warmly greeted by the staff. I must give a special shoutout to Samuel, our attentive server, who guided us through their tempting menu with enthusiasm. He recommended the Sliced Chocolate Indulgence Cake and I must say, he was spot on!
The cake was not just a feast for the eyes; it was decadently rich and incredibly moist, with layers of chocolate that melted in my mouth. Each bite was a little slice of heaven. I grabbed a piece for KES 350, and it was worth every shilling!
Besides the chocolate cake, I also couldn’t resist trying the Sliced Cappuccino Cake, which was an excellent accompaniment to my coffee. Its coffee flavor was balanced perfectly, making it a fantastic pick-me-up after a long day. Though I didn’t catch the price for this delightful treat, the value for money here is incredible!
The café’s seating was comfortable, with a design that offered an inviting view of the heart of the mall. I loved the modern decor paired with hints of traditional elements, creating a cozy yet sophisticated vibe. They offer an extensive menu, covering everything from quick bites to full-course meals, catering to a variety of tastes and preferences.
As I sipped my freshly brewed coffee, I noticed various patrons around me enjoying everything from pastries to elaborate salads, and I could hear snippets of laughter and conversations, painting a picture of a lively social hub. It felt like the perfect spot for a casual meet-up or even a date night.
By the time I finished my sweet escapade, I couldn't help but imagine returning for a business meeting or perhaps another afternoon treat! The customer service was stellar, thanks to Samuel, who checked in just the right amount without being intrusive.
My visit to Artcaffé Gastro Imaara was a reminder that quality food, great service, and a warm atmosphere can perfectly blend to create a memorable experience. Whether you're in for a quick Grab & Go or a long leisurely lunch, I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by.
So, if you're in the area or planning to head to Imaara Mall this weekend, make sure to swing by Artcaffé. Treat yourself to a slice of one of their amazing cakes; you won’t regret it!
