About us

Java House has been a home away from home for Kenyans since we opened in 1999 with the aim of enabling guests to enjoy authentic export-quality coffee. Our humble beginnings laid the foundation of what is today, a home-grown coffee-led restaurant chain and far-reaching African experience. Currently, we have over 55 stores in 3 countries and across 12 East African cities. We have over 2,000 staff who call Java their home. Got what it takes? Join our Java family! It’s a great place to start your career. You’ll be joining East Africa’s most ambitious restaurant business. Don’t just take a job:build a career.

  • Reflect. Recharge. Refocus. This past week, our Java leadership team came together for a powerful moment of alignment, looking back, looking within, and looking ahead. But it wasn’t all spreadsheets and slides, because all work and no play? That’s not the Java way. We wrapped it all up with a fun and energizing team-building experience that reminded us just how much magic happens when people connect beyond the boardroom. At the heart of it all is one goal: to keep serving you, our customers, better every single day, with improved experiences, new offerings, and meaningful moments, we’re excited about what’s coming. Thank you for always keeping it Java. We have so much in store for you. #TeamJava #TeamBuilding #Strategy #JavaHouse #CustomerFirst

  • Java Foundation - KUZA Mentorship Job Shadowing: Opening Doors, One Experience at a Time! Did you know KUZA is a Swahili word that means nurture? That’s exactly what we’re doing through Java Foundation's KUZA Mentorship Program, nurturing the dreams and aspirations of students in underserved communities like Ngunyumu and Gatina. Recently, we hosted an exciting Job Shadowing Experience that took pupils from Ngunyumu Primary on a real-world journey into future careers: ✅ Roasted their curiosity at Java Roastery  ✅ Explored food safety and inventory at our central kitchen  ✅ Got hands-on at the bakery and butchery  ✅ Received mentorship and a special send-off gift  ✅ Visited Tatu City for a tour of real estate projects, factories, horticulture, and tree nurseries. These moments planted seeds of inspiration, showing students that their dreams are not only valid but also possible. A huge thank you to our partners at Tatu City, Foodscape, and the amazing team that brought this to life. Want to partner with us in nurturing the next generation?    📩 Let’s Talk:  guest.relations@javahouseafrica.com  0709 283 000/ 0709 283 206 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dYmZ4vHV    #JavaFoundation #KUZAJobShadowing #MentorshipMatters #CSRImpact #SmartCityFuture #EducationForAll

  • Listen. It’s cold. Not just “light sweater” cold… it’s “wear socks in the house, hoodie over hoodie, and rethink all your life choices” cold. So the other day, in the middle of freezing our fingers off at work, one of our colleagues suddenly shouted: “Heh, hii July ni ya Club Nduvet!”  Yes. Nduvet. She pronounced Every! Single! Letter! We laughed so hard, only for her to finish us completely with: “Kwani si Nduvet?”  To this day, we don’t know whether to correct her… or let her live her best ‘Nduvet’ life. Anyway, that was the sign. It’s officially cuddle season.  With someone, without someone, or with a very committed blanket. And while we may not be offering hugs (yet), Java’s serving the next best thing: Warm meals and hot drinks that hug you from the inside out, throughout the day.  Here’s your daily Java warmth plan, for the boo’d up, bestied up, the singles and especially for those of us proudly registered members of Club Nduvet. 😂 Read More: https://lnkd.in/dzehazaJ

  • Yesterday, we attended the Retail Readiness Breakfast hosted by TechnoServe, where our very own George Okello (MKISM), Procurement Supervisor at Java House, joined fellow industry players in a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be retail-ready in today’s fast-changing landscape. 💡 Key takeaways for SMEs: ✔ Know your customer, don’t just compete, add value. Find your niche. ✔ Packaging matters, it should attract, communicate, and sell. ✔ Have a clear market entry strategy backed by solid research. ✔ Start small, distribute locally, learn and adapt before chasing supermarket shelves. ✔ Embrace tech, today’s consumer is mobile-first and evolving fast. Kenya’s retail space is growing rapidly, how are you preparing to stay ahead? Join the conversation in the comments: What challenges or lessons have you faced in trying to get your product retail-ready? #RetailReadiness #TechnoServe #JavaHouse #SMEGrowth #KenyaRetail #ProcurementInsights #LocalBrands #FoodEntrepreneurs #RetailTips

  • Thank you Waithera Karen for giving us our flowers! We’re holding onto each one with gratitude. You’ve captured the heart of our Guest Chef Series so beautifully. At Java, we believe food is more than a dish, it’s a story, a voice, a memory. And through collaborations like these, we’re not just serving meals; we’re serving culture, community, and connection. Each Guest Chef brings their own rhythm to our kitchen, and seeing our community show up for them, has been nothing short of incredible. This series isn’t just about recipes. It’s about celebrating local talent, making everyday dining feel special, and giving our customers something to be curious about every month. And yes, we’re just getting started. 🍽✨A special thank you to Chef Syoks Stephen Musyoka our June Guest Chef, for bringing bold flavours and even bolder energy to our spaces. #JavaGuestChef #MadeForYou

    This week I want to give Java house Africa their flowers. Their marketing & social media team have really overworked 2025. In a previous post I shared how collaboration guarantees a 30% brand cross uptake. Brands should continously have more collaborations with other brands, influencers/celebrities/audience/stakeholder. Co-creation is a wonderful experience away from the norm paid by campaign module. Java is doing a chef guest of the month & it's an incredible idea. The chef guests makes their own recipes for the month. I've never met Syoks or gone for any of his events but I've often seen posts praising his skills. By collaborating with all outlets we get to experience his dish from anywhere without having to deal with social anxiety at events that we may not go for. This kind of initiative does three powerful things at once: it builds community, creates buzz, and drives foot traffic. It’s not just about slapping names on a menu it’s about storytelling, ownership and tapping into fresh audiences. Each guest chef brings their tribe, their flavour (literally), and their voice to the Java table. It’s a bold move for a brand that could easily stick to the safe and familiar but instead, they’re innovating within tradition. this is how you stay culturally relevant while turning your brand into a platform, not just a product. See my previous post on the art of co- creating.... Travis Scott’s McDonald’s collab caused ingredient sellouts and boosted sales proof that co-creation with cultural figures works. Java you’re on the right track. You’ve nailed the guest chef series and pop-ups. Now scale the moment drop limited-edition merch or digital collectibles tied to each chef to deepen loyalty and extend the experience beyond the plate (As you go) Let the culture lead.
