This is one of the best cafes in the whole of Kampala actually, it is the best cafe in the world. Would highly highly recommend this to you. Go there you, will not be disappointed the prices are affordable and reasonable. I live in London but I fly all the way to this amazing cafe to eat their pizza. :)

Reasonably priced menu items. Pleasant staff and surprisingly quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown. My Ola go to favourite meal, the Club sandwich.
