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.....

The situation was not very clear to me, the seller said that she accepts cash and only Belarusian rubles, Thanks to other employees of the monastery, we still had rubles, but when buying, the seller said that we accept cash and Russian rubles too, but somehow we couldn't hear it together.. They came in the morning, the bun that I bought was Oak, you could chop nuts, well, there's no need to talk about any benevolence either.

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.

Oh, it's just a fairy tale, there are always fresh pastries, herbal tea, honey, canned food, all sorts of lasunki. Always polite sisters will listen to you, advise you what to take, remind you which day on the calendar is fast or you can eat everything. And don't forget this cafe from the monastery only 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

Excellent cafe, pleasant atmosphere, fresh renovation. Herbal tea, cupcake cookies, herbal tea, honey are on sale. Everything is delicious and the prices are affordable. This is the closest place to the hotel in the city center where you can have breakfast. It opens at 8.00. All other establishments open after 9 and 10.

A very pleasant place to drink tea/coffee with pastries and buy authentic souvenir products.
For example, ground dried monastery garlic.
It is famous for its cakes.

Special thanks to the staff who did not leave in trouble and assisted when he lost consciousness, called the NSR team, brought a blood pressure monitor from somewhere, then drank tea :)

Delicious pastries, delicious tea. Everything is fast and sincere. There is a place to sit, including with your own food. You can pay in Russian rubles.
The cafe accepts mint, lemon balm and other tea herbs as gifts, so if possible, grab them if you go.

It is a pity that in addition to certain herbal tea and regular coffee, there are no more hot drinks, because being in a position not all herbs can be consumed. There is also no toilet, which is important and necessary in a public place, but apparently "there" are other laws - I don't want to offend anyone... annoying wasps fly in the cafe, trying to fly even into the mouth, this makes the situation tense, but none of the "employees" care about them ... I didn't like it.

Delicious fresh pastries, to buy with you on the road is a great option. The rest is imported, monastery gingerbread, for example, made in St. Petersburg, judging by the label. The woman at the checkout tries to speak politely, but at the same time in such an irritated and nervous hysterical voice that it catches everyone's eye, people begin to look at each other...

Exceptionally delicious bread, buns, pies, gingerbread and other pastries. I'm from Vitebsk myself, but when I have a chance, I definitely stop by this cafe. I definitely recommend it.

Tea, pastries and cottage cheese cake. A cozy garden with tables behind fences. The shelter of a tired tourist. The food giver was not friendly, but maybe it was just the end of the working day

A delicious place!)
The most delicate buns, airy gingerbread, and cottage cheese cake are beyond praise!)
All pastries are without additives (flavors, preservatives, etc.) and made with love, and this makes the taste unforgettable))
A large assortment of lean pastries, which is important for fasting pilgrims.
The highlight of the cafe is herbal tea, which you won't find in the city anymore.

We came specially from Vitebsk for a crumbly pie on 10.12-23.
We went to a cafe at 18:50
They did not serve, although I noted that they came from Vitebsk specifically for pastries, to which they said: we want to go home)

The most delicious tea, a variety of pastries. It's just a pity that we don't always come in the morning and there are already a lot of goodies (they sold out before us). I highly recommend looking here for seagulls!

Only for cash. The woman behind the counter gets annoyed if you take a long time to choose what kind of cake to buy (maybe you got into the wrong mood, but for a cafe at a monastery, this behavior looked strange). Cheesecake is super-tasty, you can stop by for it.

They did not take the pastries, because unfortunately it did not look appetizing. Tea feels like it's just mint, not picking herbs. The location is great. We were in the morning and maybe because of this there was only one other person besides us.

The gingerbread is baked and sold by almost all monasteries. We have already tried a lot, there is something to compare it with. This cafe is one of the best! Fresh, soft. We were told that they bake it from flour, cocoa and mineral water. And the rolls are good here.
