Bang in the middle of studentville, Kilimanjaro has a laid-back vibe, conducive to whiling away an afternoon reading and nattering or making a start on that essay. The chunky tables, worn wooden chairs and leather sofas are comfy and inviting and the menu, while nothing fancy, is tasty, reliable and attractively served. A wide choice of soups (Thai chicken, butternut squash), paninis (grilled veg, tomato and onion chutney, mozzarella) and sandwiches (ham, gruyère, cider apple chutney) sit beside classic all-day breakfasts and tall fruity smoothies. Service is speedy and friendly, even when it’s extremely busy, and staff will do their best to adapt dishes to your requirements. Kilimanjaro has a bit of a following for its coffee, and deservedly so, for this is where the café really shines. Beautifully presented, with a bit of luck it will have been made for you by award-winning barista, owner Jonathan Sharp.

Went to Kilimanjaro Coffee for the first time today. Quite busy and I understand that it is very popular but we managed to nab a table right away. Staff friendly, coffees ordered exactly how we asked for them and the scone was top notch.
One of us ordered the flat white and raved about it, the latte I had was excellent as well.
Top tip for Kilimanjaro: Order your drink 'extra hot' and it'll arrive at a perfect temp - it takes time to get artistry right in the foam! :-)
