Great place, the best to stay in Stone Town! The rooms are really comfortable and the service cannot be better, thanks to them I have enjoyed a lot! And the food is really delicious, the terrace is a nice meeting point even for people who live in the town. Indeed the best option!

I passed by this place so many times while walking around Stone Town and made a mental note to return, and Im so glad I did.Definitely try the quesadillas, octopus in coconut curry, and their famous date cake in caramel sauce. Just do it.Also, the staff work very fast, very efficiently, and overall so friendly. The host was also attentive and kind.Highly recommend!

We really recommend the restaurant considering our single time eating here. Fast service (but it was not full restaurant), delicious food-all of them ( we was inspired from an early review: octopus with curry+ coconut with rice; chicken quesadilla- here we choose the chips but vegetables could be a better personal choice; cake with caramel sauce), the prices were not that high 40.000 TZS, but it worth for the good taste.

One of the few mid-range eating gems in Stone Town. Slightly overpriced as you would expect everywhere on Zanzibar, but the food is home cooked and very healthy. It takes forever though, but thats also a Zanzibari treat so be prepared. Seriously lovely staff in a nice cosmopolitan atmosphere. Recommended.

Nice place near the Freddy Mercury museum.The food was food and so were the fruit juices.But the best part of it was the staff, we stopped here just for a juice and at the time saw that our mobile data package had expired, asked the waiter what could we do, she spoke to the manager, he explained us what to do and sent the waiter to a nearby shop to get us a data voucher, then they assisted us with activating it.The menu has too many international food, for a place with food as good as Zanzibar, but unfortunately thats what most tourists want, so not their fault, but they still have zanzibari food and its delicious.

Very tasty and good menu. Very friendly personal. Everyone should try hibiscus ice tea. Also grilled tuna or chicken breast. French fries 🍟 are very tasty. The best in Zanzibar.

My favourite cosy Farooq tea cafe surrounded by palm trees .....the best place for a sticky date pudding

Friendly staff and quick to process an order. You can enjoy a good heavy breakfast .

The food was good. Friendly staff. Local traffic is nearby so be careful.

Very good service, great location, beverages and food are also very good!

Collorful place at centre of Stone Town, Zanzibar. Excelent food and natural beverage.

This is definetly place to go! My family and i drop to this place for a quick lunch and spend one and a half hour. We didnt want to go, atmosphere there is so friendly and nice and food extremly tasty! Spiced tea and coffee is a must to taste! Highly recommended this place for everyone who is looking for a delecios food and cosy atmosphere.

Very good restaurant and coffeehouse with food for everybody. They also have many vegetarian options and everything is prepared freshly. Try the spice tea or the spice coffee. Owned by local people, if you go there you support a truly zanzibari business.

Stone town cafe is the cutest cafe in stone town with the best wifi. The service is amazing. We were helped byIlias who is very kind and helpful. They accept credit card here and the food is always fresh and fast. Try their specials theyre always great and the iced hibiscus

You come in and feel like in another space. All the crowded areas are not visible anymore. Its a silent place with amazing and friendly staff. Food is very tasty and fresh prepared. To eat nice food or relax with a drink I suggest everyone who visit Stone Town to come to this place

Always consistent with their food, very affordable would definitely recommend the Chicken roll!

Very cool place to have lunch. Its very busy and the service is pole-pole. Food was good. Nothing to write home about but tasty.

Good food, fair price.

Food was pretty bad. The chips were soaked in oil, the fish was overcooked and without taste.

Best avacado sandwichHands down best Conti breakfast in Znz

Very good food and nice staff.

One of the hot spots in town especially for breakfast and lunch!Good food, very affordable, great location and atmosphere.Definitely an insider tip!!

I was craving pancakes and coffee/tea. From my search I ended up in stone town cafe and the reviews didnt disappoint. They dont have American pancakes, its more of crepes and they were perfect. The owner/manager was welcoming. The service was good.

Sticky date cake and masala coffee for the win in this laid back and trendy place in stonetown!

A wonderful place to be. Excellent food, service and rooms. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. The owner himself is sometimes seen at the hotel and he is always smiling and mingling with the guests. He is a very nice person and extremely humble. At first sight, you will not even believe he is the owner. He even helps his staff to clear tables when they are busy. I am really looking forward to going back there. Their sticky date cake is a must try.

I think this place needs more ‘average’ rather than glowing reviews. I had an avocado salad that, no matter how much I tried to revive the flavors with salt, was completely tasteless, along with the garlic bread. Very nice staff but mediocre food with a substantial price tag for what it was. I’m sure others have had a better experience, depending on what they’ve ordered.

Beautiful spot in the heart of Stone Town with great coffee and breakfast! Staff is very friendly and helpful!

Peaceful, rustic, affordable, great service, friendly owner. Great coffee in a large pot. It may not have an ocean view but the simplicity makes it perfect for a breakfast at least. Accommodation available. Lunch and dinner served but no alcohol.Give it a try.

Good coffee and food, nice and relaxed athmosphere, big breakfast. One pot of coffee is easily enough for 3 cups. Only thing I didnt like was how they put spices into pineapple juice and that takes away the fresheness of it.

Food is solid, good portions and well priced.Serves pizzas and burgers but also a range of seafood and salads.Nice layout and friendly staff. Good place to eat but not the best. By far not the worst.

Our favourite place for a relaxed stop or for dinner. The staff are very friendly and the outside eating is great. A coffee pot is good for 3 cups and the sticky date cake in date sauce is to die for. The steak and chips is wonderful as is the avacado salad. My colleague rates the octopus as the best in town. A varied and interesting menu and very well priced.

A warm and friendly atmosphere and that is no cliche. The food is clean and fresh. The owner is always buzzing around on hand wanting to help. You are surrounded different kinds of languages softly spoken but excited. I live next door to Stone Town Cafe and use it myself, but do not take my word have your own experience.

Small cafe that serves food in the alley. Everything from coffee and teas to full meals. Octopus was cooked nicely. You must try the date pudding cake and the chai!

Stone Town Cafe is one of the best places to have any of the meals among the day. The terrace is a really wonderful place and the service is really good. The food is well-cooked and the products are delicious. The best is the price that is not expensive. Highly recommended!!!

Somewhat a nice place and good to sort your business

Stone Town Cafe is well situated along a heavily trafficked stretch of the Old Town. There is great people watching to be had whilst enjoying your spiced coffee or breakfast/brunch bites.I ordered the fruit salad with muesli & yogurt, dressed half avocado, and a coke. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly without being overbearing. As I sat writing out postcards and letters, I took time to appreciate my environment and the interesting characters around me. My bill came to 19,000 shillings ($8.17).Id been told by a friend of a friend to check this place out, and they absolutely were not wrong.

Ask for fresh catch of the day you will really get fresh fish.

A lovely little cafe, however the service was extremely slow and didn’t serve everything at once. We tried the coffee masala which was surprisingly quite tasty! Their date cake was delicious too. They do have WiFi as well.

Beautiful cafe with traditional stone town decorations & ambiance with reasonable prices for terrific food and drink!Believe the hype about the spiced coffee - Im an enormous coffee fan and this was definitely one of my favourite cups of coffee Ive ever had. Definitely has cardamom, but also has a phenomenal selection of other assorted spices that give it a tremendous unique taste. I suggest having it black as the sugar and milk dilute its tasteful mastery.If youre really hungry, the Big Breakfast is a great option for a good price. You can have the big breakfast and the coffee for less than $10 (at the time of writing), which is outstanding for fancy-ish Stone Town breakfast restaurants.Service was pleasant and surprisingly quick given how long food has taken to come out in other restaurants in Zanzibar.

Plenty of good basic food. Serves a wide selection of breakfasts all day. Had the Spanish omlettes and crepes with really DELICIOUS maple syrup. All Very reasonably priced. Have large fans going which cools things down. Kept going back and probably will again before this trip is over.

A tourist trap -- but a good one! I had the best octopus on my entire Zanzibar trip here, where it was seasoned and grilled perfectly. It has decent prices, good wi-fi, and a chill environment.The couscous was forgettable but the cold ginger tea was delish.

Very friendly staff, fresh juices, really good coffee and food

The beating heart of stone town - amazing coffee, lovely staff and manager and anyone who is anyone goes here to meet, hang out and do business!Golly gosh I love this place. If your reading this team - Asanti Sana people! Peace and much love to you all.Oh and dont let the crazy man sell you his honey. 😆

Must visit ,its nice

We went for breakfast, the food was amazing

Super chill vibe, a wonderful place to watch the world go by over a cup of what may be Stone Towns best coffee (served lovingly from an antique coffee pourer which looks straight from the Met)

At the end of November, for two nights, room 2 upstairs at Stone Town Café B&B was our base for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site Stone Town. This place and its lovely lush shady palm-filled garden café/restaurant is somewhat of a meeting point in the historical centre, and for a good reason. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the location is bang in the middle of all the main sights of the old town, it is next to the famous Freddie Mercurys House and a stone throw away from the Old Fort/Ngome Kongwe, the iconic House of Wonders/Beit-al-Ajaib. The maze that is Stone Town is literally just around the corner.Stone Town Café is on top a great place for both watching people, soaking up the atmosphere of the old town and for drinks and food, try their famous Spiced Chai or Spiced Coffee!The B&B is very conveniently located above the restaurant, walking up a lovely wooden staircase to the second floor. Our room was big, bright and with a spectacular balcony facing the café garden in front and a bit of a town view. The big bed with drapes of mosquito net was the obvious centrepiece of the spacious room. It also had a very convenient desk for all our gear and a fridge for the water and other drinks. Thanks to the air-conditioner the evening humidity never entered the room. The bathroom was also quite big with a cool mosaic arched entrance to the big shower.The breakfast was served in the garden café. We had great strong coffee, amazingly tasting sliced banana pancakes and spicy avocado toast! We also ate dinner in the restaurant our first night. Everything was freshly made and tasted lovely, especially the grilled tuna!The NGO Creative Education Foundation Zanzibar and Steiner School that provides free education for girls, orphans and children from disadvantaged backgrounds are connected to this place. When you sign up for tours they donate a % to the foundation, an amazing initiative.Thank you so much for everything staff and management, we had a great stay with you!

Quiet place and a good place to relax after a long day of tiring activity. Price is not low, but not extremely expensive. However, service is not the best, they rush you to leave , and even if your plate is still half full, they come and ask you if you are done . The owner or waitresses roam around you and make pressure . It is quite annoying . So yeah, place is good but service is not professional.

Delicious food but SUPER BAD service. The waiters saw me lifting my hand calling them, made eye contact but decided to ignore me. It’s not like there were many patrons at that moment. Waited more than 10 minutes for a bottle of Coke to arrive. It’s a freaking Coke. Waited another 15 minutes for them to bring the bill. Never coming again.

Great food at great prices. One of our favorite spots in stone town. Didnt give full five stars as the food could be improved even more with proper spicing. You wont regret coming here.

We had breakfast there (banana pancake and scrambled eggs) plus the coffee. The portions are more than plenty and the food is quite nice, a place to go if you are in Stone Town.

It is a alcohol free restaurant. Menu is small but various dishes are available. Price is reasonable for what they have to offer but the service is extremely slow and it is sometimes hard to find free seating. People are generally friendly.

Why not stop by at this friendly place, offering snacks in a very central yet pleasantly relaxed atmosphere? Expect to be surrounded only by tourists and the usual suspects with their notebooks in front of them, though. Try the fruit platter, you will not regret it. Unwind a bit prior to getting lost in the narrow streets, again.

I had the worst experience at Zanzibar coffee house. I ordered a coffee to go. The cup top wasn’t put well so all the hot coffee spilled on my right hand. It was so hot that my skin had been taken off and I needed to go to the hospital. The worst part is that I had no assistance from people working there.They didn’t even refund us for the coffee we didn’t take.Nightmare.

Very fast and friendly service. Portions are huge, one is good for two. Good prices!

Home far away from home! That’s what I call Stonetowncafe. It’s my favorite place to eat and hang out for a while. The food is delicious and you can’t regret any decision you make. I love the vibes of there and especially if you travel alone that’s the place to be , because you will get in contact very quick . Enjoy the best Masala Tea on Earth with a sticky Datecake and let the World stop for some minutes. Masoud and the whole Stonetowncafe Crew will make you love that place.

Located on one of the busiest street in Stonetown. You can enjoy some coconut bread and spice coffee. Wide variety of food, from pancakes to octopus curry. Friendly staff and super chilled atmosphere.

We had a very simple breakfast, would recommend the breads, they are deliciously fluffy and flavoured. The spice coffee was quite a disappointment but overall a steal for the prices!

Their menu has an error. Breakfast is fine, but the other ones time is off. Cool place nonetheless. Wonderful place.

My hubby and I couldnt be happier with our choice of accomodation. We found the owner & staff to be very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Accomodation was spotless, the bed was comfy and the aircon was perfect! One of our favourite moments was opening our window and having scents of cinnamon and spice come thru. Its also perfectly situated, we found it easy to navigate around town. We would definitely stay here again.

Best food I have had in a month in Tanzania! Coconut fish curry cooked and spiced perfectly along with buttered green beans and garlic bread. Excellent choice with a relaxed garden ambience and still open after 9pm on a Tuesday

Amazing Food! Worth the wait! A popular choice and its easy to see why!

Spanish Omelette is very good! Also the fresh coffee is tasty. We had 4 breakfast there, so that says a lot!

Great place with perfect pancakes and coffee ☕. Only the cars suppose not to pass by there, in front of the Café.

Service was. It incredibly fast - it was a relaxed pace. But we had to catch the ferry and they ended up rushing out food for us and giving it in to go boxes. The food was good too!

The dates cake is a must have. best curry I had in Zanzibar. Fresh coffee is good and generous portion. spicy coffee was not good. Service is slow. A bit expensive.

The place is right along the main Busiest road of stone town. Its is easy to reach. I had a chance to take a drink and I loved their Chai, super great. The staff is helpful, charming and they do communicate and help wherever needed.

Cafe in a great location with a good menu, free Wi-Fi (password is not the one written oin the menu)Chai was delicious.The service was pretty bad. I waited for about 10 mins and tried to catch someones attention. Not unusual for the slower pace of stone town and it wasnt super busy.

Great quality food and reasonable prices. Found this spot one morning and kept coming back. Tuna steaks were grilled perfect. In a great location and easy to find

Nice little spot for dinner outdoors. The grilled octopus and king prawns were superbly cooked, which more than made up for no alcohol served here.

Good masala tea and garlic bread. They also have free WiFi coupons

Very friendly staff. Service was quick and the food was superb. Breakfast especially :)Its got a nice quiet corner by the fans for getting work done.

Stone Town Cafe is an excellent hang out spot for relaxing and catching up with wifi. The masala tea and spiced coffee are lovely and the avocado toast is an excellent value. The patio area is expansive as well.

The best place for breakfast or a coffee in stone town. Must try their spiced coffee, it is truly the best! Definitely dont miss this spot.

Great service. The spice tea is delicious. Have it with the coconut toast.

We had dinner there. The pizzas were really good and the service was nice. Also the location looked beautiful in the evening lights. I would definitely recommend it.

Great place for a city break! Food delicious and fresh! This small restaurant keeps alive the spirit of stone town! Must visit and eat place!

The service was very fast. It is located in the center and its very cute and comfortable. The pizza was very good & the price is also ok. I wanna come back again.

We were pleasantly surprised - food was real tasty and affordable, service nice and friendly and the place is beautiful. Had one the best octapussies in Zanzibar so far, recommend!

One of the best views in town and great coffee, as youd expect.

Prices are on the higher side, The male staff member was very accommodating and efficient, however the waitress was not so courteous. Food was really good but again a bit overpriced.

In the heart of the old city, with lovely drinks and good food at a very good price. Just stay here for a couple of hours doing some people watching.Fresh air in a hot afternoon

The breakfast is really good and the portions are generous. The place has a nice terrace where one can either relax or work and the staff is friendly.

Excellent food & service

Came here for breakfast and had nice crepes. Wi-Fi is good and so are prices. Another day I had fruit salad with muesli and yogurt.

Great location. Slow but very friendly service.Simple menu.Go here for people watching to drink in the atmosphere of Zanzibar

Visited the cafe for breakfast and the options were great! Food was delicious and very well priced! Would definitely visit again!!

Excellent food, popular prices and pleasant staff.

A stone town institution. Nice food, good price. Great meeting spot. Lovely friendly, helpful staff

Open and airy. Simple meals. Best masala tea and sticky date cake. Good value for money

Nice place, very good spiced zanzibar chai, free wifi and open spaces allowing a breeze, the greenery gives it a cozy garden feel, only downside they dont accept credit card payments, you have to use cash

My favorite spot in town for breakfast, great atmosphere, their masala chai and spicy coffee is a must and oh their date cake is delicious too!

Nice spacious place. Breakfast available. However, if more fruit and taste added it would be even better. Good coffee.

Very good coffee and tasty deserts

It Rained.... they had cover. We were hungry.... they had food. We were thirsty..... they had drink!!its a shame I wasnt around when they were writing the bible.... think I missed my vocation 😐

Heinz! U need Heinz tomato sauce, cmon, its not that expensive.A regular customer

Very nice I enjoyed my breakfast I ordered big breakfast from the menu, it was real nice.

Spiced coffee and the service of Munira, my favorites!

Great place in the heart of the StoneTown! Good prices, great ambient and delicious food. Stuff is very friendly :)

Arrived and had quick lunch. Seems like a chilled place. Food was nice and fast.
