The food isn't bad, but service is poor. Qazy noodles are way too bland, no seasoning.

A great place to take a break from the descent (ascent?)
The view is super! I liked the coffee, the customer orientation is wonderful.
Respect for Wi-Fi (it was important to me because I'm in a roaming zone and I don't know the way very well)
If you decide to enjoy a drink outside, you will hear if your order is ready.
If you want to stay inside and warm, it's also available.
In general, well done)

Excellent cuisine. Pilaf is definitely worth a try. Perhaps the magic of this place is the gorgeous nature and fresh air. But the fact remains that the kitchen is good.
Surprisingly, the croissants are very tasty!

The atmosphere and location are excellent, the mountains, the nature. The view from the window and the grounds are great. There is little choice in food and the price tag is more expensive compared to the city, but this was to be expected.

A wonderful place with a nice view. An additional hiking trail with mountain views has recently been opened. There are usually queues inside and there is little choice, but the view of the mountains from there is wonderful.

A special place for all Almaty residents. It is a reward for all healthy people when, after getting up, you reward yourself with pilaf or breakfast. Overall, the place is not bad, but nothing outstanding. Therefore, 4 out of 5 due to the lack of wow effect.

Apa Katya, a place of peace! It's very cool to take a walk to Cimbulac in the morning, and then have breakfast there on the way back. It's cozy here in any weather.
When it's sunny, you can soak up on the ottomans and let your body get vitamin D.
In the rain, you can easily warm up by the campfire or by drinking hot mulled wine.

It can already be said to be a cult institution, and although the prices are not very affordable, you can always bring it with you and sit on the numerous benches around the institution. On weekends, it can be difficult to find a place in a cafe, you have to wait. It works like this: you go to the checkout, place an order, pay, they tell you the number and then, taking a seat, you wait for your order to be shouted out, as a rule, drinks first, and then the main order. You pick it up yourself, you don't need to clean up after yourself from the table. The food is all delicious, maybe because once you get there you will have a good appetite. I recommend potatoes with mushrooms, a very satisfying dish. I walk from Medeo, the easiest walking route, even in May, ticks are not terrible, since I do not have to leave the asphalt. On the downside, you have to walk along the road, and electric cars are passing nearby, it can be dangerous, there is no separate pedestrian road.

A favorite place to relax and admire nature and beautiful mountains. Delicious pilaf and other dishes, friendly staff and a comfortable environment. It's very crowded on weekends, but that doesn't stop us from visiting regularly.

It's a very charismatic place, ordinary croissants smell like they're with meat, it's very strange, but fun. It's also funny to be called upon to pick up orders, such as "tea on order number 5 has already completely cooled down." A good cafe for a snack in Medeu.

A unique place in the most beautiful place of Almaty, above the Medeo skating rink, after walking to the cafe, then you enjoy delicious coffee and of course branded pilaf. The best location for a healthy lifestyle with a magnificent view of the Shymkent ski resort

For food, drinks and location - 5 stars. A minus star is for a limited number of seats, a mess in the queue. One queue for food , the other for drinks , the queues are mixed - it 's very inconvenient

a very beautiful place in the middle of the mountains with a beautiful view, but be prepared for the fact that besides you there will be a lot of visitors.
due to the flow and congestion, the cafe looks like a dining room from the outside, there is a queue all over the hall and prevents those sitting from enjoying their food. in my opinion, they cannot withstand the flow of visitors. since it is in the middle of the mountains, the prices are of course expected to be expensive, I advise you to take a snack and boiling water with you and enjoy the view without this cafe👍🏻

One of the favorite places to walk and relax. The location is awesome with a beautiful view. The food and drinks are delicious. But potatoes with mushrooms may be worth changing, just peel the potatoes and fry them with mushrooms, you get it in the form of chips, because thinly sliced potatoes are original, of course, but I would just like homemade potatoes. One more small remark towards the guys who clean the tables: to wipe with something fat-free after people who have eaten, otherwise the dishes are simply thrown away, and crumbs and stains remain. And not only tables, but also chairs ☝🏼

Tired of hiking? It doesn't matter! Now you can relax, have a snack, go to the toilet and just chat with like-minded people in this cozy business center)) There are long queues on weekends, but on weekdays everything is great! I recommend pilaf, scramble with salmon from the menu)) Prices are at the level of an average coffee shop in Almaty.

The view, the atmosphere and the location of the cafe itself are wonderful. The breakfasts are hearty and quite tasty. I do not recommend coffee, but tea with raspberries warms and pleases with its taste. I go there once a week, it's always clean and warm.

Only mountains can be better than mountains, and a cafe in the mountains is generally a fairy tale. Delicious food is cooked here, there are always people, especially in the evening, if you are on a burner, be sure to visit this cafe.

Nothing special, like all cafes of this type in the mountains, there is a queue, a long wait and the heat, there are no awnings or umbrellas. You're waiting for a place too. This is when there are a lot of people. The cheesecakes were delicious. Drinks are normally prepared. Not cheap, like everywhere else in the mountains. For example, scramble [a regular omelet or scrambled eggs] with salmon is about 4000 tenge. Pilaf is cooked by themselves in cauldrons, on the street. The view is gorgeous, everything else is three-fold, namely : the service is terrible, as in other things , many places in Almaty suffer, they are already used and tolerant ( talking and communicating with the staff does not respect themselves , it is simply useless, a waste of time), inside the cafe is shabby and not cozy, there is a round, transparent one on the street a canopy that heats up so much in the sun that there is nothing to breathe inside it, like in a sauna. So-so. It is better to take food with you and there are benches there, [on the fishing rod in front of the cafe] you can sit on the benches and have a snack., relax.

It is expensive, half of the items on the menu are missing, orders are confused and forgotten about.
The food is mediocre.
In general, this is what happens when someone has the privilege to open a cafe in the mountains and there is no competition.

Super location, you can come early in the morning to have breakfast against the background of the mountains. It opens around 7.30, I think, and there are different breakfasts to choose from. There is a queue here before opening, Almaty residents love this place, even visit it before work.

I arrived 15 minutes before closing time. The cash register has already been closed and nothing is being sold. I asked for at least a glass of tea to sell because I was cold. They refused. Low people without honor and conscience.

A great place for breakfast in nature. Gorgeous landscapes. Perfect location. I can't praise the kitchen as much as the service and cleanliness on the territory of the cafe, but a cup of herbal tea with such a view is a real miracle.

Guys, please put up the order board and don't announce it over the speakerphone. Because of this, the atmosphere is like at a train station, but there should be chill and comfort.

In general, the establishment completely does not match the price tag.There are girls sitting at the checkout with a face like you already owe them something.Waiting for Americano for 15 minutes, tasteless coffee, just brown water.To my dissatisfaction with the coffee, the barista told me to calm down)I asked the manager, of course he is not in place.I found the administrator, he said the manager is not available, etc., he will not give me his contacts.He refused to show the details and the company's card, as well as documents on sanitary standards.Although it should all hang in the corner of the consumer in the hall.Therefore, we eat here at our own risk, when asked why there are no these documents, I was told something from the series, everything is fine with us.In general, I do not recommend this institution to anyone, at least think about what you eat.As they say, it's better to be hungry than to eat anything.I will write to the police and the prosecutor's office about the institution, let them check it.All the best!

We had a rest with friends on the mountain range this weekend. We had a snack sitting on a bench, and then the action begins. The snow has melted, it's warm. Other guys, with food, also wanted to go to the benches and fell in the mud. Both they and we had fun😅

My favorite place where I come to have a snack and enjoy the view. The food is normal, the prices are like in the city; the staff is being monitored! There is a changing room, toilets, cafes can be visited with animals. There is a summer garden, outdoor poufs, shops. Everything is super for the mountains, I recommend it!
