01Nairobi Street Kitchen
caféMpaka RoadWi‑FiWork 100
Nairobi Street kitchen in Westlands was pretty good to work from. Other people working on laptops, decent food and coffee. Big space so even when they get busy, you’re not taking space other customers would use.

10Sierra Brasserie
caféYaya Centre,69671 - 00400, Argwings Kodhek RoadWork 62
The food is good, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it works for pretty much anything ... Also a solid option if you’re working remotely or meeting friends and don’t want the place itself to be the main event.
