The café
A café designed as a second home.
Café Kwetu welcomes its regulars simply: quality drinks, a clean and bright setting, attentive service and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back every week.
The room is equipped for those who work: sockets at every table, a stable connection and a noise level we keep an eye on. The terrace, meanwhile, remains the place for catching up.

Up to twelve people without a reservation. Beyond that, let us know the day before so that we can prepare the room.
Are there lactose-free options?
Yes, almond milk and soya milk are available at no extra charge on all drinks.
Reviews
What our regulars say.
« I come to work here two mornings a week. The sockets work, the connection holds and nobody hurries me to free up the table. »
Christelle M. Freelance consultant« The cappuccino has tasted exactly the same for two years. It sounds trivial, but it is rare. »
M. Alain D. Morning regular« The terrace on Saturday afternoons, with the children, has become our meeting place. »
