Cafe Javas provides a convenient venue for a variety of events: lunch with friends, business meetings, girls night ice cream, breakfast for two, catching up on e-mails... I keep coming back to Javas because of various reasons: consistency, great value for money, varied menu, decor, location and more. My favourite location is Kisemente/Kamwokya where I have fallen in love with... More

I enjoy lunch here almost every day because the food is of good quality, but what amazes me the most is the efficiency and speed in which you get your meal served. I have never found something this fast anywhere else in Uganda ;)

The cafe reminded me of Nairobi Java back home. They have great sandwiches and juices too. They were however too packed at the time I visited but nevertheless, good place to grab a quick and filling sandwich et al

Perfect place to bond over Brunch with your pips and take in the Java experience if i could call it that way. My absolute favorite is the one in Kisementi , the outdoor sitting area has its very edgy , modern yet quiet comfortable look and feel.

Cafe Javas is popular. In fact, it's too popular, at least for the number of service staff. Maybe I've been unlucky, but I've been three times, and each time I have had to wait quite a long time to make my order, and an even longer time to get the bill. This is a shame, because otherwise the food is... More

I like this place as it reminds me of Europe. Tasty food, magnificent milkshakes, but a bit crowded as a result. Prices are also a little steep.

The best thing abt Cafe Javas is their consistency! This is a very important factor given the chronic 'take it easy' attitude that prevails all over the city. U get some basic comfort food options here. portions are generous, service is efficient and friendly and prices reasonable!

I go by all the time. I like the professionalism of the staff, the great food, and the prices. The quality of food has stood the test of time, something that cant be said for most places, which lose their quality of service upon getting popular. Their prices have also stayed reasonable, despite the financial climate, and have only recently... More

Excellent service, great menus consistent quality. Wait to be seated but you will not regret the wait if you had to do it for three minutes. The staff will thrill you!
