Today this is one of the beloved places of not only the locals but also the tourists with multiple cozy cafes, beer places and restaurants, representing one of the biggest collections of the world modern art in Yerevan. Concerts and traditional dance events are periodically held here to entertain the public.

Stop At: Jazzve Cafe, 2 Abovyan St, Yerevan 0010, Armenia

Armenian coffee, or "Soorj" as it's called in our native tongue, is like nothing you've ever tasted before. Unless of course, you've already tried this bountifully flavorful brew, in which case, you know how truly unique this methodology of crafting coffee is.

It starts by taking beans and grinding them down to the consistency of powdered sugar, not something your typical home grinder will be able to accomplish even if it's an overachiever. This super fine coffee powder is then mixed directly with water and the optional pinch of sugar, and heated over a direct flame in a special pot until it reaches boiling.

To be served in a small 3 oz. demitasse cup and enjoyed right away, this thick and full bodied caffeinated elixir is truly in a class of its own when stacked up against other coffee drinks.

This process of brewing and serving coffee is a Near East tradition that has been enjoyed amongst our families for generations, and is an integral part of many other cultures throughout the Near East, Mediterranean and Middle East. There are slight variations from culture to culture, but the basic technique is the same.
Here in Jazzve Cafe you will have Armenian Coffee tasting
