The Thorn Tree Café is a legendary open-air, bistro-style pavement café that is most famous for its message board located at the center of the restaurant. Legend purports that the Thorn Tree Café – named for a single centrally situated acacia tree – became a makeshift post box for travelers who left mail pinned onto its trunk. ‘Tree mail’ endures despite email and the Thorn Tree Café flourishes as the crossroads of Africa.

From time immemorial the café has been the perfect meeting place for friends and offers a remarkable dining experience in the central business district. It has a deli counter, serves pizzas from a wood-fired oven, fresh juices, beers, the widest range of coffees, and a varied menu that includes popular continental and nouvelle dishes.

Located on the floor of the Sarova Stanley, it is a wonderful bistro cafe. I was treated to having breakfast there twice and loved it both times. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. I can especially point out and recommend Elizabeth!! She is like the ultimate hostess, server, waitress, and ambassador to the cafe. If at all possible, go there on Friday morning for the “Swahili breakfast”. These additional and special foods are a real treat. Do Not forget to try the “Swahili coffee”, even non-coffee drinkers enjoyed this. Thanks, Elizabeth for turning us onto this wonderful taste treat! The breakfast buffet has everything one could imagine. If you can’t find it there, you didn’t look well enough. A particular touch is fresh ground sugar cane juice (you grind it yourself!), it was really good. Made to order omelets, fresh fruits, bread, and sweet rolls (including sugar-free), and a full buffet of what one might call American and British breakfast items. This is a really good place to go for good food and service!
