Hosted by our barista team
Step behind the bar. You'll dial in a real espresso shot, steam your own milk, and pour a tulip before you leave. Small groups — intimate by design.

Curated by the Rumi team
Bring a book. Leave with a different one if you want. Quiet hours, free refills, no agenda. The kind of afternoon Nairobi rarely makes room for.

A Rumi gift to the neighbourhood
Free coffee for the neighbourhood on a first Sunday morning. No loyalty card needed. No catch. Just a small thank-you from us to Kilimani.
Facilitated by the community
Designers, writers, photographers, makers. Casual introductions, slow drinks, real conversation. No pitch decks. No awkward name tags.
New gatherings shaped by and for our community. Dates announced on WhatsApp and Instagram.
Led by our roasting team
A deep dive into East African coffee heritage — Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda. Three farms, three stories, three cups. The continent that taught the world to drink coffee, in one evening.

Open sign-up at the counter
Mashairi, prose, and spoken word in Kiswahili and English. An evening for Nairobi's writers to be heard — and for everyone else to listen slowly over a cup.
Facilitated by the community
Founders, freelancers, side-hustlers. Early morning, slow coffee, real conversation. No agenda, no pitches — just Kilimani's builders, together before the week begins.
