Cafeteria — Restaurant in Almaty

I had a poké bowl here.

For some reason the waiter looked at me funny when I asked if they had chopsticks. 🤷‍♂️

The poké bowl itself was disappointing. The bowl was perhaps ‘poké inspired’ but the composition and flavor wasn’t quite there. The sashimi were pea-sized. 😟 It came with a yoghurt-wasabi dressing that didn’t really work for me. It’s as if they want to make poké for people who don’t like poké bowls or kaisen don.

I was also planning to get a drink here. It was late in the afternoon so I didn’t want to drink anything caffeinated though. I had hoped that they would have kombucha since other cafes in Almaty seem to have it, but, alas, they didn’t. I tried to order a smoothie but was told the machine had broken down. The number of juices was very limited (carrot, orange, apple) so I just got water in the end. 😕

Perhaps I will seem picky in this review but this place is pretentious and not cheap. They should at least try to live up to standards set by other cafes in Almaty.

I suppose I’m not in their target...

Delicious. We specifically went as a belated adoption day celebration for our daughter. She asked me to pick a place with good desserts. This one looked like it had good ones. We were not disappointed there. In addition, it was the best avocado toast I've had in Almaty. I've tried it at four different restaurants and this was definitely the best. I ordered mine with smoked salmon, it comes on the side but I put mine on top and ate it that way. Everything we ate was good. My latte was served cold even when I ordered it extra, EXTRA hot...but that's a thing here, no one wants to serve me hot coffee and I don't understand why. That's why I'm giving them four stars and not five. They spoke English, and I explained I wanted my latte EXTREMELY hot, hot like the sun, and it was served little more than cold. I should have ordered an iced latte I guess. Still, the food was delicious and I will...

Cafeteria is a nice cozy place in the centre of Almaty. There are many coffee shops nearby, but Cafeteria has a very wide variety of breakfast options and dishes.

You have an option to seat inside or outside. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive.

They offer breakfast until 16:00, some of the breakfast options are all day. Besides breakfasts, there's plenty of options of salads, soups and main course dishes.

You can gave a freshly baked croissant or nicely designed desserts. Bonus, you can grab a fresh bread for home as well.

Myself, I was craving some breakfast things, so tried eggs benedict with ham. It was delicious but would be better if it was little bit hot, not warm. Also I asked for extra hot cappuccino, they got it right.

Very convenient and pleasant place. So have little rest there, while you...
