About the Business

Kivu Noir is a one-of-a-kind coffee destination nestled in Kigali, Rwanda, drawing its identity from the volcanic shores of Lake Kivu and positioning itself as a purveyor of what it boldly calls the world's freshest coffee. This moderately priced cafe has earned international recognition, having been featured on CNN, which speaks to its reputation as far more than a neighborhood coffee stop. Rooted in a compelling origin story tied to one of Africa's most celebrated lakes, Kivu Noir brings Rwanda's exceptional coffee heritage to the forefront, offering guests a chance to explore and taste the richness of locally sourced beans with genuine depth and character.
