Aigerim from Almaty

Hi, I’m Aigerim — an architect, researcher, and local explorer based in Almaty. I love uncovering the hidden layers of the city, from its pre-Soviet architecture to cozy cafes, canteens, and local gems. Why Almaty?

Skyberry Miras Almaty

Breakfasts with nice interior

"Skyberry is a calm, stylish café in Almaty’s upper part — perfect for a slow breakfast, decent coffee, and a dose of modern, artful design."

If you find yourself in the upper part of Almaty, near the President’s Park, and you're in need of a cozy spot to grab breakfast or just sip on a decent cup of coffee — Skyberry is a solid choice.

This café strikes a nice balance between good prices and a welcoming atmosphere. Their breakfast options are satisfying without being overcomplicated, and the coffee, while maybe not the most artisanal in the city, is definitely enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can start your morning slowly.

One of the best things about Skyberry is the interior. Whether you're into design, architecture, or just love a beautiful space, this café delivers inspiration. It has an art nouveau-ish aesthetic—modern but warm, with just enough personality to make it memorable without feeling staged.

Because it's located far from the hustle of downtown, it’s also a convenient and calm option if you're staying in the upper part of the city. It may not be on every tourist map, but that’s part of the charm.
