I love every detail about the place. I usually get a salad and the salads here are full! The come with so much proteins and vegetables they will fill you up and are so good. The cappuccinos are great too and everyone I’ve been with has really enjoys there food all around and the location in sable square is lovely you can sip a cappuccino while watching a nature reserve?? Yes please.

Probably the best food I've had in Africa, the WiFi works well which is a plus. The service is Tanzanian speed as you'd expect but 100% worth for what you pay for.

Lovely place for brunch/lunch if you’re looking for something western in Arusha. First visit I had the passion and chili gin cocktail which was interesting but very nice! We also did a takeaway of chips and croquettes which were a little on the spicy side but delicious! Second visit we had a sit down brunch which was so good and I loved how I could add extras. Would definitely recommend the hummus toast! And the apple, lemon and mint juice was sooo good! Lovely decor and nice vibe!

Best restaurant in Tanzania I’ve ever tried (as a tourist.) We stopped by for lunch on our way to Kilimanjaro airport. Highly recommend to people with the similar itinerary.The environment is chilled, tidy & clean and super comfortable. Food is nice and presentation is good (avocado is also fresh and yummy.) it’s very well managed and the only cons is “cash only” so for tourist plan to visit here, make sure enough cash (USD is acceptable) is with you :)

Butter & Scotch is a gorgeous restaurant and cafe in Sable Square. I went to work from there one day and loved it. They serve really good food. I had breakfast there and it was top notch. I had the cheese omelette and Eggs Benedict, both of which were great! The coffee is on point too.The atmosphere of the place is one of the best in Arusha. They have very playful wallpaper, excellent internal decor which is aesthetically done. It overlooks the woods and you see deer there often. The WiFi was also pretty good - I could easily do a couple of hours of video calls. I'll definitely go there again and try other things on the menu.

This is the easiest 5/5 rating I'll probably ever give, simply because it comes with such ease. Butter & Scotch was the highlight of my Arusha trip when it came to food, and I really cannot wait to travel back down and get to enjoy their offerings again. The space, is extremely well put together and is super inviting, with enough varied sitting spaces. The food stole the entire show and was the perfect meal we needed as we made our way back to Nairobi. Must Visit for anyone in Arusha.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this nook just before exiting Arusha. Wat an amazing space with great food options. Thanks Daudi & the team for looking after us & especially making the perfect Cinnamon cappuccinos with an extra shot of espresso. Wow
