Sinichki store Almaty

Coolest Little Shop in Almaty

"If you’re into unique local items, handcrafted gifts, or just want a homy and fun place to explore on a lazy afternoon, Sinichki in Almaty is a must!"

One of the most frequently recommended spots I kept hearing about was Sinichki Store, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Tucked away in a cozy corner of Almaty, this little shop is a true wonderland for anyone who loves quirky, artsy, and handmade treasures.

Inside, you’ll find a delightful mix of items: enamel pins, posters, postcards, T-shirts, handmade soaps, balms, candles, plates, sunglasses, and bijouterie. It’s small, but there’s so much packed into the space that you can easily spend an hour just browsing. Every shelf has something eye-catching, and the selection feels carefully curated and refreshingly original.

The atmosphere is warm and playful, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming — it’s the kind of place where you feel at home right away. Bonus: there’s a charming little coffee shop right inside, so you can sip a latte while exploring all the little gems.

If you’re into unique local finds, handcrafted gifts, or just want a fun place to explore on a lazy afternoon, Sinichki is a must-visit. It’s more than just a shop—it’s an experience.
