If you're wandering near Panfilov Park in Almaty and craving a warm, friendly atmosphere, Cafebara Café is a hidden gem worth discovering. It's small, low-key, and full of charm — the kind of place that quietly becomes your favorite.
What makes it stand out for me is the vibe. The café blends artsy details with a welcoming feel, and yes — it’s pet-friendly, so don’t be surprised to see a cute dog snoozing by someone’s feet on the terrace. The summer terrace itself is a treat, surrounded by greenery and just steps away from one of my favorite parks.
The desserts are unique, not your standard café sweets, and their main dishes are equally satisfying. But the heart of Cafebara, to me, is the staff — always cheerful, curious, and chatty. Every time I walk in, we end up talking about everything from movies to the weather.
This spot may be small, but it’s full of soul. Whether you're alone with a sketchbook, out for a walk with your dog, or catching up with a friend — Cafebara offers something genuinely special.
