Artcaffé expands its network with new branch in Nairobi

Artcaffé Group has opened two new locations at Capital Center, on Mombasa Road. The group’s most prominent chain, Artcaffé Coffee & Bakery, is a full-service bakery, coffee shop, bar and modern casual dining restaurant.

Other concepts include Urban Gourmet Burger, a gourmet burger and sports bar, OhCha Noodle Bar, serving fast and fresh noodle dishes of authentic South East Asian “street food”, Tapas Ceviche Bar, a vibrant restaurant specializing in Spanish dishes and featuring lively happy hours, and the Dorman’s coffeehouse.

The two are its 27th and 28th and its biggest location yet, featuring two levels of sophisticated dining, meeting spaces and a great outdoor cocktail bar overlooking Mombasa Road.

Artcaffé Capital Centre hopes to be the new social hub for Nairobi South region, Industrial Area commercial district and Mombasa Road.

The new Urban Burger, also located at Capital Centre takes sports viewing to another level. It features a massive state of the art HD screen and an immersive sound system, which together with its signature burgers, chicken wings and wide selection of craft beers, will offer sports fanatics a new viewing experience of European football matches, Formula 1 races and more sports content.

Both locations will offer not only dine-in experience, but also home and office delivery services covering Nairobi West to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Artcaffé opened its first café in 2008 and now manages 28 stores throughout Nairobi.

The group also operates a sophisticated central bakery, kitchen, and logistics centre that prepares and distributes artisanal baked goods, food, and drink shipments to its restaurants daily. The central kitchen is key to the company’s business model, enabling consistent delivery of fresh and high quality products.

The group is expected to significantly increase the number of locations in 2019, growing its position as a large employer, tax payer and driver of the local supply chain growth with a focus on high international standards, all with a positive impact on the economy. The group’s family of 1,300 dedicated and passionate staff is expected to grow at a rate of around 40 new hires per new store opening.
