Opinion Formers Weigh In On The Art Caffe Racial Allegations

Allegations have surfaced that Art Caffe is racist. First things first, Art Caffe is an upmarket cafe that offers full cocktail bar, coffee bar and bakery with branches in Westlands, Gigiri, Karen and the Junction Mall.

So early today a tweep (Koki Mutua), claimed that her brother was arrested by the diplomatic police after the owner of the outlet summoned them. Supposedly, the owner of the outlet could not let her brother buy as many croissants as he wished because “they were too many and HE’S BLACK!!!” and when he protested that’s when the cops were called.

This incident got some of the opinion makers on Twitter to weigh in on the matter with some of them giving their personal bad experiences at the high-end cafe. Here are those;

I’ve had two meetings at Art Caffe Westgate but the service was ok, I guess it was because I was meeting light skinned personalities in Jim Shamoon in one of those two meetings and later Bella Gabriella IsadoraAnnaOlivia Liv Rose DeYoung and Mette Nordvig.

I have however had an experience where a close friend refused to a meeting at Art Caffe citing two issues, POOR SERVICE and RACISM where she had to be moved from a seat simple because a white family had walked in and they needed a “larger table” yet there were free tables with a capacity of four, the number of the family.

When I saw the #RacistArtCaffe thing today, I smiled and mumbled, “someone took note at last” Well, #KOT are tearing the franchise apart, I hope the management get’s to know what’s happening and changes.
