Coffee shops and Cafes
Until Starbuck’s and Costa Coffee arrive in Almaty later this year, Gloria Jean’s remains probably the biggest household name operating here. With a number of locations set aside for serving its cappuccinos and neat iced coffees, it can legitimately claim to be one of the most popular destinations of its kind. Cakes and pastries, as well as snacks and salads attract a diverse clientele, as does the noodle bar in the Dostyk Abai outlet. Regularly busy, Gloria Jean’s is one of the many signs of a prosperous society in Kazakhstan, a comfortable café with a touch of class.
