Why we recommend it
Endiro Coffee is a Ugandan coffee company founded in 2011, and its cafe on Cooper Road in Kisementi is one of its main Kampala branches. Endiro works across the coffee chain, from the coffee tree to the cup, and its stated vision is to help end child vulnerability through coffee, supporting vulnerable people in the communities where it works through mentoring, employment and education. Its plan for 2016 to 2026 set out to extend its work across the value chain, raise quality and grow sales in Uganda and abroad. It is a certified B Corporation, and it has grown from Uganda to a cafe in Aurora, Illinois, in the United States.
For visitors, the appeal is simple: a good place to drink Ugandan coffee in the capital of one of Africa's major coffee-growing countries. Expect specialty coffee made from Ugandan beans, along with a menu the company describes as glocal, mixing local and international dishes for breakfast, lunch and snacks. The Uganda menu is published on Endiro's website.
The Kisementi branch is open every day from 07:00 to 22:00, which makes it useful from an early breakfast through to an evening coffee. Kisementi is a small commercial strip at the bottom of Kololo, close to Acacia Mall, with restaurants, bars and shops around it, so it is easy to fit a coffee into an afternoon in the area. The cafe suits remote workers, people meeting friends and visitors who want a break between sights.
Endiro now has cafes across Uganda, including at Tank Hill Park in Muyenga, on Kintu Road in Nakasero, at the main Standard Chartered Bank branch on Speke Road, and outside Kampala in Entebbe, Mbale, Moroto and at Sipi Falls on the slopes of Mount Elgon. If you enjoy the Kisementi cafe, the Sipi Falls branch is a pleasant stop on a trip to eastern Uganda's coffee country.
Ask the staff about the beans being used that day and how they are roasted, and consider buying a bag to take home, which also supports the company's social programmes. For enquiries, Endiro publishes a contact email on its website.
