We continue to be East
Africa’s cherished home-
away-from-home
We've been on this journey for over
25 years. Our story has only just begun.
Our journey began in 1999
at Adam’s Arcade in Nairobi with a mission to introduce the gourmet coffee culture to Kenya. Starting as a cozy coffee shop, we soon evolved into an American diner-style restaurant. Today, Java House has blossomed into one of Africa’s leading coffee brands, with outlets in 14 cities across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. We offer a unique and delightful 3-day part coffee-led, casual dining experience.
