01 · The story
The idea.
The problem
Nairobi’s morning queue for coffee is long and the M-Pesa step is slow. Kahawa lets you order on the walk over and pay before you arrive.
What it does
- Order ahead from a menu with every drink drawn and described.
- Pay by M-Pesa with a prompt to your own phone.
- A ticket number that tells you the moment it’s ready.
- Visit with the map and opening hours.
Where it is now
A studio concept, designed and built as a working site, and posted to our socials.
02 · The design concept
Ready when you are.
Warm vanilla paper, a misty sage and one deep bloodstone red for the cup, like the inside of a good café.
