“…Hey, wait
a minute, we have Pete’s Coffee House back in the states,” my Nigerian friend
based in California USA; but who was I n Nairobi for a short visit comments.
Then one of
the I-hub techies answers her with a classic; “this is not just an ordinary
Pete’s Coffee house! This is by our very own renowned coffee barrister, Pete
owino.”
There are
three things that any techpreneur starting out needs- oh make that 4; internet,
space, people and yes a good cup of coffee. And there is a place in Nairobi where
entrepreneurs in tech are going to find them: Silicon Avenue. Akin to the
Silicon Valley in the U.S; this is a place that many Kenyan tech start-ups have
started to call home. This would be the 2.5KM stretch along Ngong’ Road, which
is seeing a lot of tech companies, hubs and start-ups setting up base. Here,
tech companies are finding internet, space and people, plus good coffee and
meals, the perfects recipe for the creation of a new enterprise.
But the
recipe is not just on the techies business development but also on the culinary
gem at I-hub-Pete’s Coffee House.
Over the
years, beers wars have grabbed most of the headlines, but what you don’t hear
much about are the coffee wars. Who’s the best, really? Artcaffe, Java, Dormans,
Pete’s coffee. Everybody has his or her opinion-and loyalties. And the true
answer to that question is not for this blog (at least, not today).
But when it
comes to roasting coffee- Pete’s Coffee House are the experts. But they just
don’t deal with coffee but their refreshed and flavored menu will take you on a
great culinary trip.
If you love
hot or cold beverages; sandwiches or anything on the go, then they have got you
covered. Try Pete’s Coffee House-it is a sure unique destination.
