The Coffee bar
The 6:30 pm city traffic and humidity were usual…you never get accustomed to it in Dar es Salaam. As we moved down the Mwai Kibaki road, we took a right to the Mayfair plaza complex and stopped at the Atom Coffee Hub.
The coffee bar is an extensive space with a bold white,complimented with a touch of black and brown hues. Framed pictures hang symmetrically on the right, giving the walls an alluring essence. The counter was neatly arranged with coffee brewers and slices of cake on display. The looping Amapiano tunes in the background provided for a serene atmosphere.
We said hello to our host and took a seat next to a bookshelf. The table is made of whitewashed marble, which compliments the glass cylinder centerpiece filled with coffee beans. I couldn’t help but pick out Every Breath ~Nicholas Sparks for a quick read.
I ordered a Nutella hot chocolate which was served in a large pint glass.
