I go to this café almost every day, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming — it truly feels like a second home. The food is consistently delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. They’re incredibly kind and always make me feel comfortable and appreciated. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good company (or just your own), and know you’ll be treated with genuine care. Highly recommended!

We were really excited to discover this little spot in nature — fresh air, nice setting... and then the service hit us like a plot twist in a bad movie. First, we waited forever for our food. Then they swapped our spicy chicken soup for a plain one without even asking. At first, they tried to convince us it was the right soup (plot twist #2), then admitted they didn’t have the ingredients. Despite this, they still charged us 3400 for a soup that costs 2000. Math isn't subjective, folks. To top it off, every order crawled out of the kitchen like it was hiking its way to the table. Dear management: you've got a great location, but your service is on vacation. Please bring it back.

Love it. Space inside and outside both are sweet. Made by intellectuals for nice people. Good choice of wines, good food, reasonable price. Many great events, from poetry reading to silent disco dancing. I recommend!

A very pleasant atomospheric place. A good selection of wines, delicious food. Like it. The service is unhurried and not intrusive, as is the atmosphere of this lovely establishment. Empty glasses and plates are not in a hurry to clean up, but they respond to signals. A good solution for a relaxing evening with friends, or alone with yourself, or with a book. There is an interesting selection of books in the store, I recommend you to take a look.

My favorite. A place of peace and quiet in the very center of Yerevan. There's nothing better than sitting in the CG garden with a book and a cup of coffee at the end of the work week. In the evening, pleasant warm lighting and cozy blankets. The bookstore has a good selection of literature, both fiction and specialized. Creative meetings are held regularly. It was interesting to listen to A.Arkhangelsky and L. Goralik. The other speakers are also on top: it's clear that random people don't perform here. Pleasant staff: I come in quite often, I have never met rudeness or indifference. It's clear that people are happy to be where they are. Thank you!

A beautiful place with wonderful people. The choice of books is excellent, souvenirs (postcards, posters) makes the visiting tourist want to buy everything) The cafe kindly suggested what to order in order to have a hearty meal for the remaining limited amount of cash drams, and wine was also inserted into it) And then they helped me call a taxi. I have a very warm impression, thank you.

The place is very beautiful. A good selection of books. Delicious wine. Of the cons: Half of the books are not appreciated, the consultants start Googling with you how much the book costs in other places. There is simply no service in the bar. In social networks, they warn about events every other time: I went there several times to read in silence, after checking their Instagram, and there was a concert or even a closed event. It could be an absolutely wonderful place, I really hope that all these shortcomings will be corrected.

The place is great, the bar is great, but the kitchen service is... very sad. I ordered pasta, they brought a different composition, as a result, after 10 minutes I managed to find out that it turns out that the menu is changing now, the waiter did not say about it, I ate pasta without the products I wanted. It took a very long time to carry everything:(

The staff will lovingly talk about each book, give valuable advice and share something interesting. I am absolutely happy and delighted. The next time I'm in Armenia, I'll definitely come in 🩷

an atmospheric place, like a bookstore, but also a cafe at the same time. The interior is unusual, there is a patio with hammocks, At a price tag like in neighboring establishments. Books differ from standard library books, you can find something new

Like a 10 out of 10 bookstore. Consultants can tell you about each book and give recommendations. And in general, the selection of literature is very good. It is difficult to comment on the fact that there are no prices on books, apparently some kind of ideological decision. I would like it to be tightened up as a place where you can eat too. Unfortunately, the waiter could not explain what the dishes from the main menu item are and recommend something. Dinner of chicken breast and a glass of wine cost 1,800 rubles (not too budgetary, although it tastes good)

The most delicious borscht and brownies I've tasted in the last few years. It 's also atmospheric and cultural events are held . 💜 Around New Year's Eve 2025, the menu was greatly reduced and the quality of service decreased, but the cuisine is still delicious. We will monitor the situation 😅

One of the most interesting places in Yerevan, which combines a bookstore (where you can just take a book and read), a cafe, and a bar. A very extensive menu where everyone will find something for themselves. The staff is more than friendly, well-mannered and sociable - they will always recommend a dish based on the wishes of the client. An unusual and atmospheric place where you want to return!

A great bookstore, there are interesting events, they helped with the choice, there is interesting literature and a cool square where you can sit with a glass of wine. The only thing is: the service in the bar is not very good, you have to hook the waiters and they can not always orient themselves on food and drinks, and today they themselves asked for a tip of 1000 drams for a glass of wine for 1700, well, that.

Terrible service. They won't come until you go in and ask them to come over. I have the bill on my desk for exactly 15 minutes, and no one has picked it up, given that THERE ARE ONLY 5 TABLES OCCUPIED IN the ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENT, IT IS EMPTY. If you're in a hurry, don't come here.
