Chess Cafe Kigali

“Seriously THE best soups and sandwiches, on homebaked bread, there is to find. And the fresh juices - heavenly! Also really good coffee. On top of that to very affordable prices. An absolute must when in Kigali!”

“If you come for coffee, isn’t worth. Taste burnt coffee. Just chilling, not bad but still so so. The stuff is good and friendly, the best in there”

“The best bread I have found in Kigali. It is perfect soup and sandwich bread, softy and yeasty, with a perfectly gently hardened crust. The place isn’t perfect yet but they three young Rawandan owners are diligent and conscientious owner operators. Their product is, i would call it high end quality drink and food , within a good and perfectly pleasant cafe. I will definitely visit them each time I am I Kigali and can’t wait to see them grow, expand, and perfect their business. ALSO! If you like chess or other board games and lack an opponent, the staff owners are ready to play a competitive game with you. Thanks Eric for a great match.”

“Chess Café is a lovely joint located just behind the Kigali city Hall in the car free zone. I love their swedish delicacy : Chokladboll and their gooey chocolate fudge brownie with whipped cream. Reasonably good coffee and moderately good pain au chocolat. They have very friendly staff too ! ● For detailed reviews of food in Kigali, checkout deliciouskigali on Instagram and Facebook●”

“A really cute cafe with excellent coffee. If you are looking for great lattes and cappuccinos this place is for you! They also have actual chess boards so you can play while you wait!”
