Juvina cafe

Best place to go for a lunch. Food is superb and service is outstanding. It is not a 5 star hotel, as you would see from surrounding area, but the owner makes great local food and if you don’t see something on menu or don’t like local spices, you can ask in the morning and she will make whatever you want for lunch for you. Great size portions and very good value. We were staying for 4 nights in Nungwi and went there for lunch every day. Chicken hcapati wrap is a treat… also all salads are amazing. Wife went for bruschetta several times… and ice tea is super on a hot day. Very tidy and clean, efinitely recommend.

Juvinas Coffee Shop was our absolute favorite restaurant in Nungwi. The food is cooked with love from “scratch” whilst talking to the customers and served with a smile. Victoria roastes the coffee herself, her iced Hibiscus tea is like a dream. I can warmly recommend this lovely small restaurant owned and run by a wonderful women who lost her previous job during Covid.

I visited Nungwi and I pass to Juvina Coffee shop. Good food, good drinks and the most friendly service.
My recommendation because she built this by herself as a female local entrepreneur!The prices are more than affordable.
I recommend you take a look if you are on Nungwi

We have stayed in Nungwi for five days, and have visited Victoria’s lovely place at least five times. Juvina has delicious food (her chapatis are perfect! As is the chicken and the vegetarian options for filling) and the best coffee we’ve had on the island. But the real reason we kept coming back is the atmosphere. Victoria cares about her corner, and she transfers that care into the meals and service she provides her customers. See you again, Victoria and Mercy! And thank you for accommodating us :-)

It is just a perfect place to go and drink a fresh coffee a tea or an ice cold Ice Tea. I go there everyday and Victoria and here daughter are so cute and friendly ❤ I go everyday there the food is also amazing and I think its one of my best garlic bred I have ever had 🙏🏼😍 If you want support a lobely lady go there. It's a must see in Nungwi.

Last week, I went to have lunch at a local place in Nungwi, Zanzibar, called Juvina. Juvina is owned by Victoria, a woman from the mainland. We had a great experience. The place is very unique and the food is delicious. However, the best thing is that Victoria cooks the food while speaking to you. Getting to know her story is a source of inspiration for hardworking people, especially women. Victoria is from mainland Tanzania and has been living in Zanzibar for some years now.

Fantastic coffee place, very authentic in comparison to the other places in the area. The owner Victoria is lovely, the coffee and food are outstanding. We highly recommend, especially if you want to support one of the few women entrepreneurs on the island!

A must visit when you are in Nungwi. Delicious food for a very good price, cooked with love and served with a smile. This was our favorite place before and after the beach. Try the refreshing hibiscus and the chapati wraps. Warmly recommended!

The best place in nungwi!!! Visted this shop twice while here and the Victoria Bruchette was the best meal I had while here. It was so original and delicious. The chicken chapati wrap is also amazing, everything felt like a home cooked meal made with love. True Zanzibari food cooked by Victoria the owner. Shes also such a sweetheart and welcoming which really made our experience here amazing. Hopefully we get to return to Nungwi soon x

There is always a warm welcome from Victoria, the owner of this gem in Nungwi! The food is brilliant - I especially recommend the bruschetta and the ice teas are perfect for a hot day. Victoria has decorated the cafe beautifully and she even offers the option for take away. Do not miss if you are in Nungwi!

Second time here in as many days. Delicious fresh made coconut milk cappuccino (although they have a range of espresso drinks!) and vegetarian options, and Victoria is amazing. Highly recommend!!!

What a great experience to eat at Victoria‘s place! She cooks you amazing food and welcomes you warmly with the best refreshing juice and ice tea in Nungwi. Definitely worth to come here🥰 Especially for the grilled Banana dessert!

Lovely coffee shop run by the nicest lady. The coffee and food were delicious!

It was pouring rain while we were walking. Victoria offered us shelter from the rain, without expecting us to order anything. We did however have some delicious iced tea and great conversation! I would highly recommend that you stop at Juvina Coffee Shop if you’re in Nungwi and say Hi to Victoria!

Juvina Coffee Shop is one of the best experiences you may have in Nungwi. Victoria is a wonderful person and an amazing chef. For the vegetarians there are many tasty options. Victoria speaks English very well, you’ll enjoy discussing with her!

DELICIOUS food and coffee !!!!!
It’s locally owned. The lady who’s the owner and the cook is lovely and gave us a lot of tips about the area. We came here every day, sometimes twice a day during our stay. Totally recommend for the hospitality and great flavors !

At this lovely locally owned coffee shop in Nugwi, you'll find a victorious post-party recovery drink. The 'Victorious Refresh' can help prevent hangovers. The secret ingredients protect the body from the toxic effects of alcohol by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver.

My heart felt delighted to spend time in Victoria's little peace of heaven!

Juvina coffe shop is a small, cozy and local place to stop for a coffee, spicy tea and delicious and healthy food. Victoria makes you feel like at home, she is very friendly and welcome you from the first minute you go over. She knows how to use the spices in food and drinks, but also she is so nice and cheerful person. I had very good time with her having lunch and tea, I went several times because sharing time with Victoria has been one of the best moment during my stay in Nungwi. As a solo traveller, I felt I had a friend there. Also she respect your time alone if you wish. I hope to come back to meet this lovely place again.

Very nice little coffee shop in the village. The owner is Victoria. She lost her job during Covid and then opened the coffee shop. The cappuccinos were the best we had in Zanzibar. She also has a small lunch menu. Really would recommend a visit when you are here.

Eating at the Juvina Coffee shop was really nice. Good food, good drinks and the most friendly service. Especially a recommendation because she built this herself as a female local entrepreneur!
