SIX Coffee + Wine

SIX Coffee + Wine is a cafe and wine bar at 17 Abay Avenue in Almaty's Medeu District, in the Gold Square area of the city centre. The concept is coffee by day and wine by night, and the kitchen serves all-day European dishes that suit both modes. Prices are moderate, with a typical spend of KZT 5,000-11,000 per person. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 08:00-00:00, Friday 08:00-01:00, Saturday 09:00-01:00 and Sunday 09:00-00:00, so the venue works as a morning coffee stop, a lunch place or an evening wine bar. The signature dishes include the croissant burger, a hybrid sandwich that uses a croissant in place of a bun, veal cheeks, a slow-cooked main course, and croissants served on their own for breakfast. The coffee programme is central to the morning trade, and the wine list takes over as the evening progresses. The room is informal and relaxed, with a mix of remote workers, friends and couples, and the pace picks up after sunset as the focus shifts to wine. Reservations are not generally required, though it is best to book weekend evenings through the 2GIS listing, particularly for groups. Abay Avenue is one of the main streets of Almaty and the venue is within walking distance of other cafes, restaurants and bars in the Gold Square area, which makes it an easy stop on an evening route through the city. The versatility of the format also suits travellers whose schedules change from day to day, since it offers both coffee and dinner without moving to a different venue. Prices are lower than at the formal restaurants nearby, and the long hours extend into the late evening on weekends.
