Baraza
Westlands, Nairobi · Opening 2027

We are building Baraza.

A coffee shop and coworking space in one. Great coffee, fast Starlink internet, and a seat you can stay in all day. We are putting it together now.

Our website went up before our doors did. That is why you landed here. Thank you for finding us early.

The idea behind Baraza

A blend I have always wanted.

I enjoy being in coworking spaces. The energy of people building things, the quiet focus, the conversations that start over a cup of coffee.

I have always wanted a place that blends a coworking space with a proper coffee shop. Somewhere you come to work and leave having had a good time. A place that brings fun and joy to the work day.

That is Baraza. A baraza is a place where people gather to talk and share ideas, and that is exactly what this will be.

Coffee, work and good company under one roof.
