Moca Loca

Southern Rift Valley


Nakuru loves its coffee and Moca Loca is the new caffeinated kid in town. Located on the 2nd floor of a corner building, it's a stylish spot for people-watching; Parisian-style window boxes frame the booths. Besides coffee, there are pancake breakfasts, sandwiches, salads and burgers.

Things liven up considerably after dark. Saturday nights are all about karaoke with DJs and live music other nights of the week.
