Specialty roaster and café in Shuwaikh Industrial, Kuwait
Altitude Roasters
Slow coffee in a clean room
Altitude calls it precise brews and slow coffee in a clean, modern space. That is accurate, and it is also a quiet protest against the grab-and-go coffee world. The café sits on Street 28 in Shuwaikh Industrial, in the same neighborhood as Cantina.
The menu covers espresso, filter coffee, cold brew, tea and matcha, with bakes, desserts and breakfast on the food side, and vegan choices available. Order a filter brew if you have time. The point of a roaster's café is to taste what they have chosen, and the cup tells you more than the menu does.
Hours run seven in the morning to ten at night from Sunday to Thursday, and nine to ten on Fridays and Saturdays. It makes a good stop before or after a meal at Cantina, or a laptop afternoon if you need a quiet table. Not flashy, not loud, just careful. In a district full of ambitious coffee, careful is a compliment. Order a second cup of something different and compare the two. It is the cheapest coffee education in the district, and the baristas will happily talk it through with you.
