We loved the fact that they draw you on the coffee cup which was a very fun experience. The coffee itself is decent but the cafe has a very nice concept and atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and chatty. The portraits are not very accurate, but they’re a must try travel activity. The only downside is the long wait for the portrait (around 20 min+) since there is only one person doing the portrait. I recommend ordering the coffee in a separate cup to keep the portrait as a souvenir.

We had a fantastic time getting our faces drawn on coffee cups—it was such a fun experience! The coffee is decent, and the café has a great atmosphere with friendly staff. The artist, a polite Architecture major, was wonderful; I wish her the best in her future endeavors. The only downside is the long wait for a portrait (20+ minutes) on busy days, as there’s only one artist. You can also have your face drawn on a wine glass, but that takes more time. If you’re in Tbilisi for a few more days, you can order this and return the next day to pick up your bottle. I recommend ordering your coffee separately to keep the other cup for the portrait as a souvenir.
