ՍԵԹ — Restaurant in Yerevan

Bad dessert experience. Extremely overpriced for what you get.

First - they serve a TINY portion of "tiramisu" in a PLASTIC cup, and it costs AMD2900 (EUR7). 2900 is about the upper price point for any standard dessert you can get in any average cafe in Yerevan. Compare to Sweet Coast (amazing desserts within same price range) or Moka Pot on Isahakyan (1500 for tiramisu). And it's not even proper tiramisu they serve. Some weird chocolate layer on top and some liquid chocolate tasting weird something inside, literally 1 ladyfinger (can't imagine being more in that size portion) and no coffee taste (you would think espresso is not a problem for a cafe like this?). So either your cook has a VERY strange idea of what tiramisu is or you order it from a contractor and do not care to check what is supplied. In one word - terrible.

Second - customers who order two warm drinks and a dessert should not get their coffees and wait for the dessert, one would expect these to be served together. After receiving the coffees and waiting a bit I had to remind that I also ordered a dessert for it to be served.

Third - paying over 7000 (almost EUR20) for a matcha latte, a capuccino and a single portion of dessert, considering the above, is just crazy.

On the positives can not complain about drinks. Good. staff was patient and curious to hear out my complaint. No action taken on their part though.

Not...

I’m disappointed to say the least. The fact that this place has 4.7 stars on average is completely above me… the pictures of dishes look great, but the when it comes actually tasting them, they really come up short. We had coffee, tea and dessert when we came. My “pancakes with salted caramel” were more like: salted caramel with pancakes. The thing was oozing with so much caramel I couldn’t finish it. It was sorta gross. The filtered coffee was cold. My wife’s choice of cake was very bland and free of any character, and the tea she ordered was practically rejected after just one sip… I might come back to try something else here, only because the service staff were so polite and I believe in second chances… But as of writing this...

This review has nothing to do with the lovely sweet waiters who work there. This is for the owner. I will let Google reviewers decided who's in the right here.

Attached is a photo of what I ordered. An omelette with avocado and espresso. The price - €8.53 including the avocado which was an extra €2.20. They served with no bread or salt/pepper. Sorry, not acceptable and this was overpriced and the tiny amount of avocado totally ridiculous. There will hardly be a person looking at this review who would not agree with me. Look at the empirical evidence in the photo. If I owned a restaurant I would be embarrassed to send out a plate of food like this.

A least the coffee was good and the only reason it gets two...
