Pastry options run from banana bread and brownie to a lemoncello cookie, apricot cheese and coconut tart, and there's even a dog cookie. Alcohol is limited to Sonas red, white and rosé wine by the glass or bottle, and a Baptisty drink. Plant milks (almond, coconut, banana, soy, pine nut) are available as add-ons. With an average check around 2000 AMD, it suits people wanting a coffee-forward stop that also covers a full breakfast, a salad lunch or a light dinner with wine, in one sitting on Zakyan St.
