hi,
Are you ready to get Yummy? We’re
excited for you to embark on this
journey with us and to celebrate the
more important things: food, drink and
life. Karibuni!
H
aving grown up in
Nairobi and spent the
better part of the last
seven years abroad,
I am continually
amazed at how much this city has
boomed over time. The plethora
of cuisines and events available
to any interested city-dweller—
combined with Kenya’s unique
resources and heritage—hint
towards a foodie culture future
that could rival that of any city
worldwide. This magazine is a
celebration of this growth, and
more broadly, of life’s necessities:
food and drink – in all their glory.
For our first issue we spill the
beans on everything coffee. If you,
like us, love your dark stuff, pour
over our Guide to Coffee and find
out all our city has to offer when it
comes to kahawa.
First though, make sure you
dip your toes into the important
Nairobi foodie news of the
month and get a chance to mark
any upcoming events into your
personal calendar. Delve into

Whether you are a coffee
aficionado, a grab and go kinda
guy or gal, a food lover and/or
wine connoisseur, an improvisor, or
just someone who needs a (coffee)
break, we truly hope that you
enjoy the ride.
We sure are looking forward to
taking you on many more culinary
adventures!
