Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages

Stayed here for 2 nights, post safari adventure. What a beautiful place. The staff was SO great. Always smiling and doing everything they could to make your stay wonderful. The food is excellent! The grounds are so immaculate. Definitely the place to stay when in Nairobi. Thank you to everyone there.

A beautiful evening at Karen Blixen – wonderful atmosphere! We arrived at Karen Blixen without a reservation and were a large group of ten people. Despite that, we were welcomed very warmly and given a table without any issues – the staff was incredibly accommodating. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning. The interior design took our breath away – it’s beautifully decorated, tastefully lit, and created such a pleasant and inviting vibe. We genuinely enjoyed just being there. As for the food, eight out of ten of us were very happy with their meals – great selection and flavors. However, two dishes (one pasta and one pizza) didn’t quite meet expectations and were unfortunately not very good. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. All in all, it was a truly lovely evening and a place we would definitely recommend – especially for the ambiance and warm hospitality.

We had great food here at one of the outside tables. Pork chops, pizzas and the Caesar salad. The chicken tikka pizza was amazing. A little bit on the pricey side but beautiful gardens and atmosphere.

We had lunch at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and it was such a wonderful experience. Our driver guide Leon,, recommended this place, and we’re so glad he did!|The environment was so peaceful and beautiful, perfect for a relaxing lunch. The food was absolutely delicious, well-prepared, and fresh. We were fully satisfied with everything we ordered and really enjoyed the warm hospitality.|This is definitely a place we would love to come back to in the future. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a great meal while in the Karen area of Nairobi. Highly recommend!

I had my wedding weeks ago at the Karen blixen garden, I had paid for the whole amount a month to my wedding, but ask me why two days to the wedding the management calls us to ask for an extra huge amount aside for my wedding to push through.I remained adamant in not sending any extra money that was not in the contract or mentioned earlier. On the wedding day the lady head manager was sure to put off the lights at exactly 6pm ignoring any requests for upto 30minutes or less to finish up the wedding. We had to finish the wedding with no sound or lights. We agree there are rules in every business but i found the lady head manager unnecessarily ignorant and dismissive. The grounds are beautiful, but if you wish to have your wedding there. Be aware of this otherwise they will leave you in an awkward, discontent and sad ending after a beautiful day.

We went to inquire about a wedding venue, photoshoot and accommodation. They kept us waiting at the reception for such a long time. The lady taking us around was rude, condescending, and unpleasant. She was trying very hard to dissuade us from booking and using your facilities as you had more import guests (non-Kenyans). She said they would have to rush us on the wedding day because they have very 'sensitive' clients and showed us all the places we could not access. She kept reminding us about their very important guests and how we would get in their way. Why offer such facilities if you don't want such activities? When we asked about the honeymoon suite, we were told that they were always full and unavailable for booking. I didn't imagine I could face racial discrimination in my own country, particularly from fellow Kenyans. They have a beautiful space, but the discrimination and price exaggeration are not worth it.

Beautiful property and gardens. The staff were very attentive; we felt well cared for. Would definitely recommend to others.

Had lunch in here, ordered calamari, ravioli & mixed meat platter. The food was missing flavors, meat tooo dry & they charged 2500 Ksh for 6 squid rings. Not coming back ever again.
