Great place with perfect garden feel.

It is so close to the road, but you still feel like you are in an oasis. The staff are all kind. You are also supporting an awesome mission and the food is all fresh and reasonably priced ❤️❤️❤️ Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5, Noise level - Quiet, easy to talk

Visited this delightful cafe twice while I was in Usa River region as it was SO good.

Their cakes are to die for. I tried both the carrot cake & raspberry crumble which were exceptional. Coffee was great too. The setting feels like a cool oasis where the staff are super friendly. I was thrilled to find their newly opened gift shop full of locally made items and left with beautiful gifts to take home. But above all of this it is the fact this café is a not-for-profit NGO that is dedicated to supporting the lives of people with disability that I so greatly respect.

Wow what a treasure.

I wanted to stay for a week and try the entire menu. Can you open a cafe in Mbeya, Singida and Babati too? Superb coffee, staff and surroundings. Clean and bright. A gorgeous craft store on site for great gifts. Ben and his wife have a beautiful non profit business and wish them the best of luck. You won’t regret coming here. Quick walk from Rivertrees Hotel

This is a welcome addition to the Usa River Community

An amazing coffee with the right vibe and highly impact social enterprise providing employment to the deaf in the area carrying on the great work from Neema Crafts in Iringa. No doubt this will be my go to for great coffee and food and in the area. Conveniently located at the turn off to Dolly Estates, Kennedy House it's likely to be very popular.
