Why Travelers Love Cafe Arusha
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This was my first Cafe joint in Arusha. I loved everything about it. The ambience, the food and the service. They're strict about time but they waited until we finished before they closed. Such a nice place. I'll be coming back for sure. Oh the cinnamon honey for the dawa was to die for. Best Restaurant in Arusha! We can highly recommend the heavy burger and the granola peanut butter bowl! If you want nice atmosphere and awesome food. Youre here in great hands! It's very nice to chill and having coffee on the rooftop! I ordered cappuccino and a granola bowl. It was so good!! Fruits were fresh and I love it so much. The cappuccino was little less coffee flavour, But it's okay. Lets say American coffee taste. But the environment is so cool! It was cloudy that day. But If you go sunny day, you might see beautiful sunset. Staff were kind as well! There are some charging spot and a sink for washing hands. Toilet are for the cafe on the same floor with a key.

Located on the balcony of the 3rd floor at Arusha mall. Cafe Arusha gives a spectacular view of Arusha city with an ambient calming environment. Also provides free fast WIFI. We had the chicken curry and butter chicken which both came with rice and chapati, fair proportions and quite filling. Food takes at most 20 minutes to get served. We paired our meal with iced lemon tea and lemon mint juice which were also very nice. Friendly staff. I’ll definitely recommend and come back myself as there are a few more things on the menu that caught my eye and I’d like to try.

Café Arusha is a lovely restaurant offering many breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I was there with my family at lunchtime, but we were still able to order the all day breakfast items. We ordered a full English Breakfast, Shakshuka, Eggs Benedict and a Crispy Chicken Burger and it all looked and most importantly tasted amazing. The coffee, cappuccino and smoothie were very good as well. The owner was friendly, and very hands on in making sure our whole experience went smoothly. I definitely recommend the restaurant and will definitely visit again when in Arusha! Also don't forget to sign the big world map on your way out 🙂.
