Fantastic place. Had a lot of meetings and meals there while organizing an event. Also the profits go to support orphans! The food is very tasty. Would definitely go back, and get their chicken burger often when traveling through Kitwe

Great little spot in Kitwe! Food was pretty quick for the 3 of us. We got 2 of the Asian salads and a Korean beef burger! Super nice burger but pretty messy. Wish they had a wet wipe or finger bowl. Excellent service and clean bathrooms

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. The steak and chicken pies were so delicious and had the perfect ratio of pastry to meat. The muffins were delightfully warm and soft everything you can wish a muffin could be. I 100% recommend this place especially if you are looking for something small and delicious. The service we received here was 10/10.

Very nice cafe in Kitwe. When we visit from the US, it's hard to find a place that makes good coffee and breakfast, and it was a pleasure to try Roast Cafe. We tried their Eggs Benedict, Avocado Toast, and Full English, all of which were excellent. The coffees were also delicious, made with full cream milk rather than long life milk (something to be wary of in Zambia).

The service was great, the coffee was fantastic and the food was amazing. I got the chicken tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Compliments to the Chefs.
