Fresh, a cafe that has been around since the 90s at Al-Khalid Complex in Salmiya has closed down. I’ve never been to it, I don’t even know how it managed to last for so long but I do know it’s one of those places a lot of people went to back when there was very little to do in Kuwait.
As I mentioned in another post, Al-Khalid Complex recently went through a major refurbishment and new places are opening up including Boost coffee shop. Another place similar to Fresh that also is surprisingly still open is Astra Lounge. I guess old-school places like these still have a cult-like following helping them stay afloat.

I’m stunned that Astra Lounge is still around!
Do we know what’s going to take the place of Fresh (which I never liked)?
No clue but based on the comments under this post on Facebook, seems like the place was super popular with the British expat community for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
Tried of riding an uncomfortable sports car? Trips to the service center to tinker with performance generating neurosis? Females around Tilal not giving you attention?
Invest in a food truck, not just any food truck. The Pizza Italia foodtruck. No more marketing cookie cutter kitchy copy burgers from Ardiya. The real taste of Kuwait.
There used to be a spot out there – on the same stretch called Fatboy ‘ Amazing Good food – this used to be there in 90’s . Wonder if they are located elsewhere .
yeah fatboy was across the street from it
Wow Astra is still around, i didnt know that. It was my fav hangout place around 15 years ago. There was another place called Hang Out in galleria 2000 mall. Anyone know if its still around?
