On Saturdays, Kardamom & Koffee fills with a lively buzz as it partners with the 7 Hills Farmer’s Market. Local growers and food artisans offer fresh produce, handmade goods, and specialty treats from small Ugandan enterprises. Families stop by after errands, children wander between colorful stalls, and vendors share the stories behind their craft. The market weekend creates a joyful blend of community, sustainability, and small business support that reflects the essence of Kampala.
On the last Thursday of every month, the café transforms into an intimate, expressive space for Poetry Night, which is organized in partnership with the creative agency CMH LIVE. The event recently celebrated its one-year anniversary at Kardamom & Koffee and continues to grow in popularity. Emerging and established poets share pieces that range from tender to bold, funny to deeply reflective. The room is always completely full, a true full house, and regulars know the importance of arriving early to secure a seat. Poetry Night has become a monthly tradition that celebrates voice, vulnerability, and the power of storytelling in a community that embraces artistry with genuine enthusiasm.
