When the city gets hotter, you don’t want to cook or barbecue. You want to eat ice cream instead because it can be the only soothing thing. Yolo ice cream in Nairobi probably has a lot to do with this preference.
The name itself tells you what this place is all about. They sell affordable frozen treats and have a variety of options to choose from, including low-cost options.
On the first floor of the Allgate Building (Former Uchumi), along Moi Avenue, YOLO Ice Cream has established itself as a major ice cream player and as a popular hangout during Nairobi’s sweltering summers. The YOLO ice cream brand has left its stamp on the hearts and stomachs of individuals nearby, just like their sassy social media activity.
What makes Yolo Ice Cream Stand out?
Affordable
Not many ice cream joints in Nairobi are as affordable as Yolo Ice Cream. The majority of them charge exorbitant pricing for ice cream, frequently driving away customers.

Here prices range from anything between Sh 40 to Sh 1,000. There’s literally something for everyone!
Ambience
Yolo ice cream is a highly fashionable ice cream parlour that serves some of the best ice cream bursting with flavour. The atmosphere is funky and fun and they have a really terrific food menu. The setting is well suited for anyone to have a private conversation while indulging in their favourite tasty ice cream.

They also have a setting that resembles an upstairs where you may select to sit. We haven’t even discussed the incredible graffiti and choice of music.

An array of ice cream options
I’m running out of words to describe the cinematic quality of this experience. They bring in locally sourced ice cream with no preservatives, and you get to custom order yourself a flavour. Why not? The options are endless. For example, there’s the Chocolate Crunch, Cookie Dough, and Cookie Crunch. You get the point after looking at this list for a while.

No ice cream, no problem. You can still order your favourite milkshake or cocktails.
Proximity
Traversing around Nairobi on a busy day can be a hectic affair. Being located on the Agha khan walk, however, you can easily duck in and out to enjoy your favourite ice cream.
