"Tbilisi became for me a city not only of breathtaking views but also of incredible coffee. ☕ At one of the cafés recommended by Madloba, I tried Georgian-style coffee brewed in a cezve for the first time — rich, aromatic, slightly bitter, and served in beautiful ceramic ware. The interior combined traditional elements with modern comfort, making it the perfect place to relax. What touched me the most was the hospitality — they brought out homemade cookies with the coffee, just ‘to brighten the mood.’ It’s these small details that make mornings in Tbilisi unforgettable."

"I’ve always loved cozy coffee shops, but what I found in Tbilisi exceeded my expectations. ☕ In one place, they drew mountains on my latte; in another, they told me the story of the café’s founder, who handpicks beans in a small village. Every coffee shop was filled with warmth, soul, and genuine people. I loved that here, coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s part of the culture and social connection. I even ended up at a poetry reading one evening and made new friends. Thanks to Madloba, I got to discover Tbilisi through its coffee!"
