Arguably the best ice cream in town!
This place is just pure nostalgic memories of me and my dad. He used to bring me to this joint ever since I was 4years old to enjoy their ice cream and kebabs. They have recently revamped their old branch(Haile Selassie) and let’s just say they did a great job! They also added an additional 2 branches: likoni mall and Nkurumah road. Kitambo their aesthetics was red brick walls just like their exterior, alafunot so comfortable plastic chairs (at least nowadays they provide a cushion) and it was self-service for what you wanted to eat. The food was displayed in glass like windows,which you open and close,then pick a plate and tray as you slide it across the various options. Miriam was my best friend but she is no longer there. Today they have revamped the space into the modern day decor from lighting,walls and seating. I love how wide their menu has grown considering kitambo they only focused on snacks,tea and icecream. The price ranges between Ksh.180-1200. My recommendations on what to get whenever you find yourself in Mombasa: 1. Traditional fluffy pancakes (620/=)- 4 pieces of pancakes served with fresh fruit and Maple syrup drizzle. Always my go to bcz of how fluffy and moist those pancakes are,fresh Strawberries and a pan fried banana slice 2. East African chicken poussin (950/=)- half fried chicken, snap fried and tossed in chilli garlic poussin sauce served with your choice of side. Let me tell you that sauce slaps and the way the kuku is moist! You can tell it was made with love 3. Chocolate fudge slice(400/=)- it comes with a side of fresh whipped creamand then the have dusted with cocoa powder. Really love their plating game,very moist and rich cake. They also do whole cakes ranging between Ksh.1200-3000. 4. Midnight cookies and cream icecream (100/= per scoop)- I’ve always loved their ice creams for being very creamy,freshness of the milk and it always comes with a waffer.They make it everyday btw. I love to buy their 2litre tub just so we can enjoy it with my dad as we watch a movie at home. 5. Strawberry lemonade (380/=)- when is it never hot in Mombasa!? This is the perfect refresher and I love it bcz it has just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, this place perfect for everyone….great food, fast service,very clean and chill ambience. What’s even better is their staff are very friendly,accommodating and their suggestions are always top notch. Kudos to Alice for her world class service. They have an offer on Thursdays where you get 2burgers,2chips,2 icecream for Ksh.1200. The place gets really busy btw bcz its like a meeting spot for most wazee in Msa. Parking is also terrible I recommend you just use tuktuk or taxi wgen coming into town. I recommend sitting anywhere you’ll find a fan bcz Mombasa can get pretty hot..I don’t know why they removed the ACs. Can’t wait to go back and try their Nkurumah branch
