Specialty café and roaster in Sharq (KIPCO Tower), Kuwait
Stockroom Coffee
Coffee at the foot of a tower
Stockroom has a ground-floor seat at KIPCO Tower in Sharq, and the position is perfect for a business district that needs real coffee before nine. The brand also runs a branch at Murouj, sells wholesale, caters and trains people on espresso machines, so it is a coffee company that takes the trade seriously.
The KIPCO café serves breakfast from 7 to 2:30 and coffee from 7 to 10 at night. Start with a filter or an espresso and add something from the breakfast menu, which the website lets you download. The drinks menu is posted as well, and the staff can steer you.
Come in the morning, and avoid the quarter hour before the offices open, when the line is long. It makes a good meeting place where nobody minds a laptop, and a handy stop for anyone cutting through Sharq on foot. Specialty coffee with a regular office clientele keeps a café honest, since those customers come back every day and notice every change. Ask about the beans, since the people behind the bar can tell you the farm and the roast date. That is the mark of a shop that buys its coffee with care.
