TOMOCA Coffee Kenya at the Two Rivers Mall Nairobi preserves the mastered art of marrying Ethiopian Coffee with Italian technique, a Coffee Shop concept similar to the first-original Tomoca Coffee Shop in Addis Ababa (Old Tomoca). An in-house roastery awaits where customers are able to actually experience the process of roasting and packaging the coffee beans behind a transparent glass wall. This truly is a holistic ‘from roast to cup’ coffee experience, with the grand finale being an unforgettable array of signature blends & brews including the ever-popular; Macchiato, Sprice, and Cravate. In Nairobi TOMOCA Coffee’s concept is to embrace quality coffee from around the East African Region and they are serving Rwandan coffee i.e 100% Arabica in their newly opened Two Rivers Mall Branch
