Yerevan


Its heart is in the right place, so we wish that the coffee and food served at this modern cafe beneath the Cascade were better. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan salads and sandwiches are on offer (many produced using organically sourced produce), as well as organic teas and coffee (filtered and espresso). There's a second branch on Amiryan St.
