On the plus side: it's clean enough, mostly friendly, we were at the end of the day, but we bought something. It's quite tasty.
Of the disadvantages: payment is ONLY in cash. And this is in Belarus, where, I think, newspapers and ice cream have been sold on the streets for 10 years with the help of a terminal. However, Russians also accept money, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than by bank transfer.
In the process of communication, to the seller (which is HOW I identify the woman behind the counter. Got up- work as a salesman, with all the consequences ...) one of her friends called (bosses, colleagues, like-minded people, but judging by the way the seller called her, she was also a churchgoer), and we were IMMEDIATELY forgotten or even ignored for the entire time of the conversation. And no attempts to end the conversation early, apologize to us later, or anything like that. The conversation was about the product range... Unpleasant. It is clear that there is a GOD and there are us, but... If you are doing something, ask first how to do it CORRECTLY...
And so, in general, everything is fine ... but ..., the money is just for cash.....
We went according to the recommendations to drink delicious tea with pastries. There were no pies and buns, only cookies. We wanted to clarify, maybe they will bring it up. The woman at the checkout is just asking what we need. We say "and we just look at what ..." and without listening to us, in response, "look further." The mood is spoiled, and all desire to buy something there has disappeared. In a place like this, you don't expect such boorish communication
The cafe is expensive. We are from Russia.
I didn't like the natural coffee without cream, and the volume is small.
The pastille made of cranberries and currants is delicious but more expensive than in the icon shop in the monastery itself. There are several kinds of pies and cookies for sale.
