Coffee Biblioteka

Russian Caucasus


When we asked about the availability of wi-fi at this stylish cafe, the barista answered, 'We have a somewhat different concept…books.' Bibliophiles will be blissful in this book-filled setting (though we didn't find any titles in English). Coffee drinks are delish, as are the small selection of sweets and sandwiches.
