Coffee shops and tea rooms Tanzania

It's an address that's been around forever, and it's one that's gone relatively unnoticed: this small local kiosk and café is located in the Forodhani garden, close to the seafront. All it has is an outdoor terrace sheltered by parasols, not a dining room. A green and calm setting. It serves good coffees (espresso, cappuccino...), fresh fruit juices (the avocado juice is incredible!), excellent breakfasts and light dishes (salads, burgers, wraps, bowls, etc.), at very reasonable prices. We love mixing with the local atmosphere at this address.

This new coffee shop chain has two stores in Stone Town, the first behind the fort (with a pleasant outdoor space) and the second not far away, in the touristy pedestrian alleyway of Gizenga Street. Here, it's no surprise that you can order an excellent espresso coffee, and all its possible variations: latte, cappuccino, café frappé, etc. There are also a few cakes to choose from under cloches and packets of coffee beans for sale in the stores. Here, we appreciate the wifi, the well-designed lighting and the modern furnishings.

A trendy address for fans of a good Brazilian or Tanzanian ground coffee (Kilimanjaro's famous coffee), with ground coffees from all over the world, in a variety of preparation methods from Italy and elsewhere. For those who tire of instant coffee on safari, a freshly roasted espresso awaits you. You'll also find home-made pastries for a gourmet break, and breakfast formulas that are more affordable than in hotels. It's also ideal for a connected break (wifi).

As well as being a boutique hotel in the heart of old Stone Town, this place serves all sorts of coffees, including the spice coffee and the delicious local vanilla caffe latte It sources its coffee directly from the Utengule farm where the Bourbon variety is harvested near the Zambian border. The house also makes fresh juices, lemonades, lassis and smoothies, homemade cakes with exotic fruits... You can enjoy these marvels perched on a rooftop nicely furnished with fabrics and sofas and open on small perched balconies.

At around 800 m above sea level, Moshi is the base for tourists coming to climb Kilimanjaro or simply to admire it. If you're passing through, make sure you visit the Aroma Coffee House. Created by Asia Kimaryo, co-founder of the Woman in Coffee Tanzania organization, it employs 90% women from poor neighborhoods who are responsible for the subsistence of their families and communities. Aroma aims to equip them with specific skills to help empower them. It also has an ecological and ethical objective: the coffee comes from the slopes of Kilimanjaro.

This friendly concept-store café prepares... Tanzanian coffee! But also bowls, paninis and salads.... It also sells the black gold in beautiful packages, high-quality beans harvested directly from the slopes of Mount Meru, as well as coffee-based beauty scrubs. The place is really pleasant, with cakes presented under a bell on a wooden counter and good wifi. An ideal place to take a break in the city, not far from the Clock Tower. An outdoor terrace lets you enjoy your coffee in the sunshine.

This cute little coffee shop is very pleasant with its nice furniture, its brightness and its modern look. It serves excellent coffee in all its forms, homemade cakes and snacks (salad or sandwiches), either on the spot or to take away. The Ridge Cafe exists in Mbeya and Dar. Its particularity is that it buys coffee from small farmers in the highlands around Mbeya, Mbozi, Mbinga, Kilimanjaro and Kigoma. The roasted beans are of high quality, following a transparent purchasing process through its cooperatives. Wifi.

This beautiful, trendy café is located in front of the Protea by Marriott hotel, on the city's northeast coast, on the same street as another café in the same style, Aroma café, on the famous Obama Drive, a pleasant street to visit. Here, you can drink Tanzanian coffee and eat the usual international dishes: salads, wraps, pasta and pizza, rice bowls. It's a menu you'll find just about everywhere in town, with many vegetable-rich compositions. The setting is superb, with lots of wood, well-designed lighting and cool frames on the walls. Good wifi.

A lovely place for a sweet or savoury break on the northwest coast of the Msasani peninsula, not far from the Cape Town Fish Market. A residential house converted into a café-resto. The outside terrace under the trees is really nice, as are the round wax armchairs inside. We come here for an excellent breakfast (with real espressos and freshly squeezed juices), to enjoy a cake, salad or wrap, and to take advantage of the wifi.
