you're on farasi lane, cutting through one of nairobi's quieter residential pockets, when mugumoini close branches off and things slow down a little. coffee lab sits at 3.2, and if you've been chasing good coffee across the city, this is the kind of address you end up circling back to. it's a roaster first, which matters, because what ends up in your cup starts here, on-site, before it travels anywhere. the people who come regularly don't seem to be passing through. nairobi's specialty scene has grown fast over the past decade, and places like this are part of why it has the standing it does. give yourself a slow morning on mugumoini close. order whatever's just come off the roaster.
