Read moreDuring my time in Tbilisi, Shavi quickly became a refuge from the hustle of city life, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without it. This café is not just about serving excellent coffee (though it’s the best in the city, just ask anyone!), it’s about creating a space where you feel welcomed and appreciated—something that can be hard to find elsewhere in Tbilisi. Ryan, the founder, has cultivated an atmosphere where kindness and attention are at the forefront.

Shavi is more than just a coffee spot; it’s a place to take a break, recharge, and feel a sense of community.

I've been coming here every day since moving to Tbilisi, but from today I will be finding a different place where I can actually find an empty table...
