Fodor's Expert Review Whispers Coffee Shop

Located in Lamu Town in the same building as the Baraka Gallery (which has a wonderful collection of African art, jewelry, and souvenirs for sale), this upscale café has a pretty, palm-fringed quiet courtyard where you can relax over a cappuccino. There's also a lunch and dinner menu, focusing on salads, pastas, and deli items, or you can order a packed lunch to take away. The house-made ice-creams are good, or try a delicious ice-cold watermelon and mint juice.
