Voronka Café on Zheltoksan Almaty

Breakfast

"Craving a hearty breakfast in Almaty? Stop by Voronka Café on Zheltoksan Street for tasty meals, warm atmosphere near parks and fountains."

If you're wandering along Zheltoksan Street in Almaty and craving a delicious, relaxed breakfast, Voronka Café is a must. It's one of those places that feels instantly warm, whether you're there for a solo coffee on the terrace or deep chats with friends inside. The breakfast menu is surprisingly extensive, with everything from smoothie bowls to classic eggs and toast, all beautifully presented.

What sets Voronka apart for me is the atmosphere. Yes, it gets busy, especially on weekends, but that’s part of its charm. There's a friendly buzz in the air, the kind that makes you want to stay a little longer. The staff are always welcoming, and the whole space feels lived-in and loved.

The location is a big bonus: it’s within walking distance of several beautiful fountains and green parks, making it perfect for a post-brunch stroll. Also worth noting—Voronka is pet-friendly, one of the few places in Almaty that welcomes your furry companions with open arms.
