As a coffee enthusiast, there’s something magical about starting the day in a place where great taste merges with irresistible meals and unforgettable vibes. This was exactly what I found during my visit to Civet, located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi, Kenya. I strolled in one morning, eager to explore their offerings and was pleasantly surprised by the inviting ambiance that set the tone for my entire experience.
I kicked off the day with the highly praised Civet coffee, renowned for its unique flavor profile because it’s made from beans that are naturally fermented by civet cats. That first sip was pure bliss—rich, vibrant, and absolutely aromatic! It's no wonder reviewers rave about it, making it a must-try at Civet. At approximately KES 500, it was a fantastic way to wake up and get energized for the day ahead.
Next, I indulged in a popular menu item that has garnered a lot of praise: the chicken dish. According to other diners, the chicken is not just any ordinary meal—it’s succulent and tasty, and they were right! With each bite, I could taste the passion that went into its preparation. As I enjoyed my dish, I couldn’t help but appreciate the attentive service provided by Nicole, who ensured that everything was to my satisfaction.
Civet isn’t just about coffee and chicken, either. The variety of offerings they have—from pizzas to burgers, and delightful starters—means you’ll always find something that tickles your taste buds. The positive reviews certainly embody this sentiment, and I found that the dishes cater well to those with allergen sensitivities, which is a significant plus!
While I was there, I also had the chance to hear about the experiences of other patrons, particularly how Samira and Jamal, two of the staff members, contributed to their memorable visits. Samira received multiple mentions for her excellent customer service and her deep knowledge of the menu, which helped customers pick the right dishes. Jamal, too, was noted as a wonderful server who made everyone feel at home.
The cozy, vibrant atmosphere of Civet, paired with their great location and ambiance, truly makes it a standout in Nairobi’s dining scene. I left feeling satisfied not just in terms of food and drink but also due to the experience crafted by the incredible team. If you’re looking to enjoy fresh, tasty food and an exceptional coffee experience, I highly recommend a visit to Civet!
Indeed, as I reflect on my visit, I appreciate how Civet is dedicated to providing great meals alongside exemplary customer service. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or planning a full dining experience, Civet undoubtedly makes for a splendid choice in Nairobi.
