Artcaffé Gastro Bar Westlands Square

nairobi's specialty coffee scene has been moving fast, with waiyaki way sitting at the middle of a lot of that momentum, pulling in commuters, creatives, and anyone who takes their cup seriously. artcaffé gastro bar in westlands square is part of that pull. it's well regarded locally, and not without reason: the gastro bar format means you're not choosing between a proper meal and a decent flat white, which matters more than it sounds when you're trying to make a morning meeting work or stretch an afternoon into something useful. westlands itself is dense, commercial, genuinely alive at most hours, and a place like this fits that energy without fighting it. if you're on waiyaki way around midday and need somewhere that handles both food and coffee without either feeling like an afterthought, this is a reasonable first stop.
