A Good Cyber Cafe Near Me in Nairobi

Did you just Google ‘cyber near me’? If so, you are in the right place.

This post is about my go-to cyber cafe near me in Westlands.

In writing for Chick About Town, among other things, I spend my fair share of time on the Internet.

When you hold a regular 9-to-5 or are at school, Internet access is something that you take for granted.

In the Western World, having an Internet connection at home is almost a given.

Even my parents, one of whom only recently learned to type his own emails, got a home computer with Internet connection when they moved to the US a couple of years ago.

In Africa, without an Internet connection at school or at work, you have to think a little harder about how to connect with the rest of the world via the Internet.

This post is about a great cyber cafe near me in Nairobi to do just that.

In a previous post, I mentioned to you some renovations that were going on at Books First and Sherlock’s Den Ukay.

I told you that I would let you know more as I found out more. Now, I’ve got more to tell you.

Cyber Cafe Near Me/Cyber Cafe Near Me Location: Books First Ukay

I’ve used the Internet café at Books First Ukay quite regularly over the past couple of years.

First and foremost, it was close to home. Secondly, the rates for members were outstanding.

Thirdly, I knew how to choose my workstation so that I could get the quiet I needed to get work done.

Still it was a bit of a sketchy Internet café whose design didn’t seem well thought out.

About a year ago, all that changed.

Now, in its place, is a great cybercafé that’s fantastic especially if you need to concentrate on whatever you are working on.

The Great Things About This Cyber Near Me

If you were to enter the Books First bookstore at Nakumatt Ukay and walk all the way through to the back, you would find a well-equipped, well-lit (I love light so this is so important to me), quiet Internet café that reminds me of so many computer rooms and computer labs that I encountered during the course of my stint through the education system. 🙂

I mean that as a good thing. Computer labs in schools generally serve a large population. Yet, they are also very conducive to work that needs concentration, among other things.

At most educational computer labs, as at the Books First cybercafé,  the computers are of good quality; the Internet connection is both fast and reliable; the number of computers are such that you are rarely have to wait for one; and the environment is quiet.

I love surfing the net at the Books First cybercafé. If you are a serious user of the Internet, I think you might too.

Something else I like about the Books First cybercafé (apart from its rate of Ksh 1 per second for members) are their hours of operation.
