Welcome to JOY CAFÉ AND RESTAURANT, a charming spot located on the ground floor of 89 Mall in Kuwait. This café is not just a place to eat; it’s an experience that fuses the warmth of local culture with contemporary culinary delights. With its inviting atmosphere, it’s no wonder JOY has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

When you step inside, you’re greeted by a cozy ambience, perfect for a leisurely breakfast or a casual coffee break. The decor strikes a balance between modern and traditional, providing a delightful backdrop for your dining experience. However, be prepared for some potential distractions; feedback from customers indicates that air conditioning issues and occasional insect visits can detract from the experience. That said, the heart of JOY lies in its menu.

The café boasts a variety of hot and cold drinks, each crafted with care to ensure maximum flavor. For those who prefer something authentically local, the Joy Arabic Coffee served in a thermos (KWD 6.500) offers a rich and aromatic experience that embodies the essence of Kuwaiti hospitality. Pair it with the Joy Kuwaiti Tea (KWD 5.500) for a refreshing contrast.

If you’re in the mood for something stronger, the Americano (KWD 2.000) is perfect for those who appreciate the robust taste of freshly brewed espresso. For a sweet touch, indulge in the Iced Salted Caramel (KWD 2.500), a rich and creamy drink that tantalizes the taste buds with its sweet and salty balances.

Delighted customers have praised the breakfast offerings, such as the Portobello Mushroom Omelet, which is surely a must-try for brunch enthusiasts. This dish is not only flavorful but also showcases the café's ability to marry healthiness with indulgence, creating a satisfying start to the day.

Review highlights from patrons like Alya 7 and Rozam Karam emphasize the quality of food, particularly enjoying the café's breakfast menu and coffee selections. However, as Rozam noted, consistency in recipe execution is an area for improvement, while cute Haya pointed out the need for attention to the dining environment.

Overall, JOY CAFÉ AND RESTAURANT stands out for its inviting atmosphere and delightful dishes. Although there are minor areas to refine, the heart of this establishment beats strong with flavors that make it a delightful retreat for locals and a fantastic stop for tourists exploring the culinary scene in Kuwait.

So, whether you’re in for a hot cup of joy or a refreshing iced drink, JOY CAFÉ is truly a place where you can unwind and savor the moments in good company.

Very nice ambience at The Gate Mall. Not my first visit! Chef needs to be consistent with the recipe.. and the prices need to be reviewed. Congratulations on my first review
