The Original Diani Coffee Shop
Kokkos Cafe Bistro has held its spot on Diani Beach Road since 2000 — making it one of the longest-running cafes on the coast. Set in the Costa Sur Complex, the indoor-outdoor space draws a loyal mix of residents and visitors who come for the hand-brewed coffee, stay for the food, and return because the atmosphere never tries too hard. It is the kind of place where a solo breakfast with a book feels just as natural as a long lunch with friends.
Breakfast, Brunch & Beyond
The menu blends international cafe staples with Kenyan flavours. Mornings are the main draw: eggs on toast (KES 490), the Frenchy — bread dipped in vanilla-infused egg wash and seared, served with honey, jam, or maple syrup (KES 690) — and crepes with sweet or savoury fillings. The signature Wake & Bacon stacks a fried egg, bacon, and cheese for a no-nonsense start to the day. Beyond breakfast, the kitchen turns out gourmet burgers, fresh seafood, and crisp salads through the afternoon and into evening service.
Practical Details
Kokkos is open Monday to Saturday from early morning through late evening. No reservations needed — walk in and grab a table. The cafe also offers catering for private events. Find it in the Costa Sur Complex on Diani Beach Road, a short walk from the main shopping strip.
