About 2 years ago, I stumbled upon this cozy coffee shop and I am absolutely glad I did! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with comfortable seating and a charming vibes from the staff. But what really impressed me at Gorilla conservation cafe was the coffee itself, with a very rich tropical gorilla scent, flavorful, and having worked in a coffee shop myself for more than 5 years, I must say that the coffee was expertly brewed, and surely I must acknowledge that the barista was knowledgeable and friendly, happy to offer recommendations or customize your drink to your taste. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just need a quick pick-me-up, Gorilla Conservation through public health (CTPH ) together with Gorilla Conservation coffee (GCC) is a must-visit once you have 30 minutes in Entebbe while waiting for your flight or just a chill out. I will always recommend and stop over for my daily dose of caffeine and cheer! #SavingGorillasOneSipAttime!

I came to this cafe to try the coffee and purchase some coffee as a gift for my mother who loves gorillas. I was so happy we came and the mission to help gorillas and purchase a bag of coffee made by the communities near the gorillas in Bwindi (the way I want to spend my money in Uganda!) The book by Dr Gladys is for sale with autographs and it is fascinating, as I have been reading it. There is also an awesome children’s book about zoos by her son for sale there as well! I didn’t get a chance to try the food but they have a nice menu. We enjoyed our coffee outside in a quiet courtyard. Credit cards are accepted!

Friendly helpful staff and good service. Ate a huge bowl of freshly prepared fruit salad this morning... a nice antidote to stodgy airplane food! I love this café and everything it stands for. Do drop by for the excellent coffee, extensive food menu and interesting info about mountain gorillas. It's on the main road and signposted. #SavingGorillasOneSipAtATime

Great little spot in Entebbe across from Victoria Mall. Service was very kind and this cafe has a great mission to support Gorillas. The seating at this place is nice, perfect for conversations with friends over coffee. My iced latte wasn’t the best I’ve had but it was pretty good! Come here for the mission and vibes :)
