It's a very nice family-friendly cafe located at the Vardananta square. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. You can sit, drink your drink your coffee, enjoy their famous donuts, and at the same time enjoy the view of the square. Everything in here is walking distance, so in that sense, it's super convenient. There is parking available around the square. It's a bit of a challenge to park at the square, but it's easier to find parking on the smaller streets next to the square.

Nice family cafe. I haven't eaten such delicious donuts in a long time. You can sit inside or on the veranda overlooking the central Gyumri square. The menu is available in three languages. Lots of interesting cocktails. The place is a must-visit if you like sweets) And at the entrance you can buy a beautiful magnet for a gift.

I visited the restaurant "Donut-Donut" — the impressions are generally very good! The donuts and pies here are really delicious, fresh and satisfying, they melt right in your mouth. The atmosphere is pleasant, the place is tempting to visit again. The only drawback is that there are almost always queues, and the bathroom is too small for such a large and popular restaurant. But the taste and quality of the dishes compensate for this. 👌

A very interesting place in the very center of Gyumri city near Independence Square, the most popular dish is crumpets with various fillings, but the menu is not limited to this, the order was prepared quickly, everything was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant.

I don't understand people who put 5* when they have obvious disadvantages. They asked for something to drink, recommended a branded fresh donut, ice cream. The ice cream is delicious. But, everything else, starting with maintenance, is lame! The waiters are illiterate! Why offer a sweet ice cream "drink" based on very sweet ice cream?!! The prices are too high, above average. I don't recommend it.

It's a very bad restaurant, I don't recommend going there if you don't want to spoil the mood in such a beautiful city. We waited literally two hours for the donuts to arrive, despite the fact that we said when ordering that we had an appointment at the museum and we couldn't wait long. As a result, we were late and our mood was doubly spoiled by this. I would also like to note that not only were we unhappy, but most of the visitors were unhappy and canceled orders for the same reason.

Donuts are good, but you often have to wait a long time, as a family cafe - you can safely recommend it. The quality of the dishes is without question, everything is on the level, the prices are average, in terms of price /quality ratio - definitely welcome

I liked the donuts and other dishes from the menu, but if the waiters had been more efficient, it would have been even better. The sluggishness of the staff, however, did not prevent them from enjoying the views...

Let's start with the pros: the food is delicious, even very (except for potatoes in a rustic way) the main disadvantage of this place is the service. There is only one menu on the table, if it is there at all. you may not be noticed for a long time and you need to be reminded of your existence. Waiters are children aged 12-14, who sometimes do not behave professionally. in general, there is a problem with the service in every branch of the monchik donut. it is very rare that you come across an attentive waiter.

The place is wonderful! Delicious! I took soup with chicken and spinach, Thai salad with beef, of course donuts, coffee. The portions are huge. One salad or soup is a full meal 👍🏻 If you take coffee, I recommend that you immediately specify whether it is cold or hot. The menu is not specified, I did not expect to get cold, but it is delicious) I recommend eating donuts with your hands, without a knife, folding in half, for example. Strawberry has a very delicate taste) Cozy atmosphere, fountain in the heat, shade, cute cubicles with pillows🥰 The waiters are young guys, probably even schoolchildren, nimble, polite, everyone speaks Russian. Caring administrators constantly monitor the situation, monitor the work of the waiters. I'll give you 5 points for everything!

It's a beautiful place! We ate too much for 3 years ahead😍 and the donuts are simply delicious, it's not for nothing that they say that if you haven't eaten a donut here, then you haven't been to Gyumri!♥️

How many times have I been there, the service is always long, the salads are not fresh and I don't like the advertised donuts and monchiki. Very, very thin dough, and inside there's just air and a little nutella or other filling....

the donuts are delicious, but the service is at zero, the waiters are openly rude to the owners, if you suddenly read the reviews, I recommend paying attention to the poor-quality work of your staff, spoiling the whole impression of the institution

The service is at zero. They said to wait 30 minutes.We waited for an hour, and we still hadn't eaten the doughnuts. Tea arrived almost immediately, there were two of us, one cup. They asked for a second one, but it stayed with the donuts in another universe. I ended up drinking tea alone. They left in a bad mood and hungry. Okay, the kitchen may be loaded, but what about the cup? We just lost time . I also had to tell the manager several times that I would be called.

A cozy cafe. There is a cafe (it's stuffy there) and you can also sit outside in booths. It's warm there. The waiters started recording the order, which is good. We ordered solyanka, khachapuri, bowl, rice with vegetables, donut (with nutella) Monchik with vanilla cream. The menu is varied, main dishes, chicken, salads, fragrant teas, drinks, beer, coffee, ice cream, desserts, pasta. The hodgepodge was great. The bowl is unexpectedly huge, as if for several people. The donuts inside are empty)

A doughnut is something like a crumpet with vanilla not sugary cream, and a moniche is the same thing, but with nutella or other sweet filling. Very tasty! There is other food, there may be problems with places - a very popular cafe.

In general, the cuisine is very tasty, very tasty donuts and pies. The bar menu is expensive, plus there's nothing to worry about: coffee and sweet cocktails. I give five stars only for the kitchen. the bar needs to be stretched to match the 1600 AMD cocktail
