Coffee shops and tea rooms Uzbekistan

This chain appeared in 2019 and had some setbacks before finally opening in a brand new location near Amur Timur Square. A good place to stop during a visit of the city in front of a good coffee or a nice pastry. There is a good choice, the products are good and the service is warm and we appreciate the comfortable sofas and the space. We find all the quality of service and welcome that characterized the first Black Bear shops: a rarity in Uzbekistan. A second address has opened at 46 Shota Roustavéli street.

The café of the El Merosi theatre is a pretty little haven of peace where the black and white photographs and the white and pastel colours are particularly soothing and warm. Excellent espressos are prepared here, there is a good choice of teas and fresh pastries follow one another throughout the day. Try the walnut cake: a real marvel! There is also a good selection of locally made chocolates of excellent quality. The atmosphere is calm and cosy, but of course comes alive during the performances.

A trendy address in Samarkand, dedicated to the rather affluent youth who like to treat themselves in the evening to steak planchas drizzled with pints of beer. It is nevertheless very relaxed, quiet during the day and a little more lively in the evening (occasional concerts, check out the Facebook page). More than for meals, we recommend the place for a coffee, a refreshment or a cocktail at the end of the day, we appreciate the comfortable armchairs, the volumes and the attention paid to the decoration, halfway between traditional materials and touches of modernity.
