Three & Barista

Kuwait City


Opposite Al Shaheed Park's entrance gate is this air-conditioned vintage oasis decorated with an old VW Beetle, bicycle wheels, aeroplane seats, school chairs and bookshelves. Enjoy an Ethiopian-Colombian blend or a 'sparkling' (carbonated) espresso with a slice of homemade marble cake or fresh burrata salad and then peruse the book-exchange corner. Heartier meals are also available.
