Nairobi Java House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Java House (formerly Nairobi Java House) is a chain of coffee houses with its head office at ABC Place in Nairobi, Kenya,[1] founded in 1999 by Kevin Ashley and Jon Wagner.[2] When founded, it was one of the few places to find "export-quality" Kenyan coffee brewed and served in the region,[3] although specialty coffee culture has seen a significant increase in Kenya in recent years.[4]

Starting from the first cafe at Adam's Arcade along Ngong Road which opened in 1999,[5] Java House has grown to 73 locations across East Africa as of June 2024.[6] The Java brand is also the owner of Italian pizza chain 360 Degrees Pizza and the first ever East African self-service frozen yoghurt store, Planet Yogurt.[7]
