What sets PICK apart is not that it is a pleasant café. It is that the thing you buy has what is in it written on it: calories, fat, protein, carbohydrate and allergens, next to its price to the fils. That is rare in Kuwait.
The shape of it
Thirty-seven branches listed on its own ordering site, from Jahra and Ahmadi to Sabah Al Ahmad and Khiran, plus Assima Mall, the Avenues, 360, the Ministries Complex and the NBK headquarters.
Most close at 11pm. The Jabriya branch on the Fourth Ring Road is open twenty-four hours. Hateen closes at 1.30am, Rai at 8.30pm, and the Ministries Complex branch opens at 7am.
The menu
Twenty-two sections and roughly a hundred and eighty-eight individually priced items on a single branch page. The sections include salads, PICK PRO protein shakes, a matcha bar, limonata, Frappick, soft serve, Pick Packs, PoffCake and Pick Retail.
The numbers that actually help
A chocolate cookie at 750 fils: 392 calories, 12 g fat, 7 g protein, 64 g carbohydrate, and allergens of dairy, eggs and gluten.
The crisp Caesar salad at 2.250: 396 calories and 40 g of protein. That is the figure anyone counting protein is looking for.
Chicken green curry at 2.750: 590 calories.
The classic acai bowl at 2.500: 274 calories. The most expensive food line is the passion fruit acai bowl and the make-your-own bowl, at 3.000.
And the cheapest things
450 fils for mineral water. 750 fils for a cantaloupe or watermelon cup — the same price as the chocolate cookie, the feta focaccia and the egg PRO toast.
Soft serve goes by cup size: a mini cup without toppings 600 fils, mini with toppings 1.100, and a small with toppings 1.500.
What we could not verify, and it matters
We do not know who owns PICK or when it was founded. We found a site claiming “born in Kuwait, 2010” and “70 locations”, but it carries traces of an unfinished template in its own markup and assets from another domain, so we do not trust it and take no figure from it. The only count we will defend is the thirty-seven branches its ordering site lists.
We read one branch’s menu, and do not know whether prices are identical across all thirty-seven. Some items show “price upon selection” with no headline figure, and some were out of stock on the day we read them.
