Although it’s been there over a year now, I didn’t even know this place existed – I just happened to stumble across it on my way to Double Barrel and I was pleasantly surprised by its homely ‘hole-in-the-wall’ vibe, funky decor and friendly service. Ameru brings a little taste of Kenya to King St, supplying their own brand of authentic, locally-roasted, Kenyan beans. It’s definitely a place that is passionate about coffee and Kenyan culture, and it was almost like I’d been transported to Kenya for a Sydney-style flat white. A very harmonious blend indeed.
The good vibes and coffee passion were definitely what defined Ameru. The BB was fine, but it wasn’t the star of the show. I might have overlooked Ameru for the past year, but it’s definitely now on my radar for a re-visit.
