  “Went in for quick takeaway hot drinks and got to try mandazi too. I tried the house masala chai which was excellent. Partner tried the house blend black coffee which he liked too. Owner was lovely and v friendly. Dog friendly indoors 🐾 will be back to try their other drinks - intrigued by saffron matcha.”

  “Really great speciality coffee at Kahawa Mzuri with a warm, welcoming feel and friendly service. The coffee was excellent, really smooth and rich with a nice balance, and it felt properly well made rather than rushed. Overall a really solid spot for a proper sit in coffee and I’d definitely come back.”

  “Everything about this coffee shop is perfect. The coffee itself, the bakes, the atmosphere are all exactly what you hope for. Kieran and his staff are incredibly welcoming and also very helpful when you can’t decide between all the delicious drink options. This place also opens later than most and hosts craft evenings and English Language classes. If you want a cosy drink and bake and some “you time” alone, this is the place. If you want to catch up with friends and maybe play a game of MTG… this is the place. You get my point. :)”

  “Love this place. Really relaxed atmosphere, and nice if you want to get a bit of work done, although even nicer to just chill with one of the books they have sitting out. I'm normally a big coffee drinker, but their chais are so good I usually end up with one of them. The coffees and cakes (with lots/all? vegan options 🙏) are amazing too, and the owner and staff are lovely!”

  “I love coffee. I grind my own beans at home, I know my long black from my Americano (long black is from Australia), and people often buy me beans as gifts or special occasions. This is my new favourite coffee shop. Kahawa Mzuri is not just a coffee shop. It's a community hub, one of the few late opening cafes in the city centre, wheelchair accessible, and a safe space to bring dates. It has such a calm atmosphere despite always having people sitting in. Kahawa Mzuri is run by Kieran, who used to work at another coffee powerhouse of Glasgow, Ottoman coffeehouse. Steampunk coffee have written a blog if you're interested to read more. And the coffee? Whether it's a speciality, house blend coffee, matcha or even Kenyan chai - this place has you covered. But especially stand out are the specialty coffees, they even have speciality decaf - as I'm currently caffeine free for health reasons, I really appreciate this. If you're looking for food to go with your coffee, the cinnamon buns are homemade and delicious, made me think of Thimble's ones from a book called Legends and Lattes I read... TL;Dr - 10/10 reccomend.”

  “An excellent café, with tasty coffee and great handmade cakes and bakes. It is a great addition to Dumbarton Road, the owner is very very nice and has managed to create an excellent Ethiopian-inspired space to relax and enjoy coffee. There are different beans to taste, from all over the world - and Ethiopian coffee is the highlight. The atmosphere is chilled and non-pretentious; very inclusive and welcoming to anyone. This is what we want to be in this day and age! Well done - we will be back, and back, and back again.”

  “Fantastic space with incredible coffee - could be a new favourite in a very competitive city when it comes to coffee The owner was so warm, helpful, and clearly had an in depth knowledge of coffee. There are also at least two blends you can choose from, each with unique notes which are more suited to certain drinks. We didn’t try the matcha but it looked great. Can’t wait to come back!”
