Descriptions;

In 1999, we introduced coffee drinking and gourmet cafÃ© culture to Kenya. As we grew, we created more spots where people could enjoy the Java experience conveniently. Java House is on the move – we’re building branches and creating jobs all over East Africa, working to bring the Java experience closer to you. Our coffee houses would not be what they are without the effort, commitment and passion of the Java House team who make sure each branch is a place where everyone feels at home.
