Food Safety Intern – Java House
About Java House
Java House, commonly referred to as ‘Nairobi Java’, opened its first store in 1999 at Adam’s Arcade in Nairobi. With the aim of introducing a gourmet coffee drinking culture in Kenya, the first outlet was a coffee shop that later evolved into an American diner-style restaurant. Today, Java House has grown into one of the leading coffee brands in Africa, boasting outlets in 14 cities across three countries in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda). Java House also birthed two sister brands: Planet Yoghurt, a healthy and fun frozen yogurt store, and 360 Degrees Pizza, a casual dining restaurant.
Welcome to Java. A home away from home.
