Cute restaurant, yummy food choices and an amazing bakery! As we are German we have high standards regarding bread but were more than satisfied. Being able to buy baked goods at the bakery and then sit down at the restaurant is a nice combination as you get a wide range of choices. The farmers market once a month is a nice addition.

The best bakery in the Moshi and Arusha area! Delicious bread and buns. They offer a wide selection of bread, rolls, and other baked goods, as well as sweet pastries. If you want to buy something on-site, it’s best to come in the morning when the selection is greatest. You can also find their products in some local stores, such as Aleems in Moshi. I’m attaching their brochure with the full product catalog.

Amazing place. It is so quite and calm, that you would like to spend there all day long. The women working there are so nice and caring. The food is so good and you have a store inside with amazing things. Moreover, you support a rehabilitation and training centre for people woth disabilities. First day here but for sure not the last!

Located on Himo Road between LaGanga Grocery store and Danish street is the best little bakery I have found outside of France. They have a walk up counter outside the compound that sells brownies, plain and chocolate croissants, as well as French bread, cakes, rolls and pretzels. Head inside to the cafe where you can purchase fresh squeezed juice, sodas and a light meal. The property has a very friendly atmosphere and there are always one or two ex-pats siting around using the wifi and speaking any one of a dozen different languages. This place is a Can't Miss!

Perfect chill out spot. Couches to lay on for a day of rest. Food is very good and cheap. Very good internet, bring your laptop or a book and stay here all day for a day of relaxing.
