Black & Brown is located just up from the busy Furmanov and Gogol junction, and is packed every day of the week. But its popularity isn’t just down to its location; the buzzing interior has ’em flocking in their droves. An attentive, smiley staff offers a menu of toasted sandwiches, omelettes, salads and other lunchtime staples washed down with some of the best coffee in Almaty. Add to the mix free WiFi and it’s not hard to see why patrons while away the hours here, tapping away on keyboards with intense expressions on their faces. Things crank up a notch or two with live music from 8pm on Friday and Saturday nights, making for a great, well-rounded place to hang out.
