Ponchik - Monchik. The place you want to taste a lot of bakeries. But it looks like a lake fast food + pizza + shawerma + all that mix does not match the name.

One of the sights of Gyumri. We tried all 3 donuts and monchika, all good and decent, especially considering the price. They look very fluffy, but there's not much filling in them. Herbal tea is also very tasty. One big disadvantage is that the place is always full and you have to wait 10-15 minutes to get a place to sit.

The donuts are delicious. They bring them hot, unlike other establishments in Gyumri. The waiter said they were being prepared here in the kitchen, so it would take longer. There are no pies with potatoes and meat at all. Once in the evening, when we got there, we were pleasantly surprised to see a musician with a guitar on the 2nd floor. It adds comfort to the atmosphere inside.

We ordered a monch here and a donut with us.And there are also many more different dishes.We also had pasta Bolognese and a Greek salad.Sooo delicious.Respect to the waitress Tatev for the excellent service.

Huge portions, delicious food, DONUTS that are nowhere to be found, the size of a flying saucer, fast service, jokes are understood and accepted, the staff is friendly, clean and calm, even when there are a lot of people. Thank you for the delicious and beautiful place. We will DEFINITELY come back. Moreover, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and for a late dinner. Prosperity to your business and grateful visitors.

I lower the rating for the service in particular! It's just the off-putting behavior of the waitresses, they respond very rudely and just don't put anything in, the same establishment is located 5 minutes walk from the square, the place is amazing for both the quality of food and the quality of service, and not only are they rude, but they also greatly spoiled the quality of pies and doughnuts compared to the time when they didn't they were so famous, now the prices for the entire menu have been greatly increased, but the quality has simply sunk to the bottom.

A wonderful restaurant, very tasty donuts, a lot of customers and not only tourists, a lot of locals, top service, in any establishments you can speak Russian, prices: a donut≈60p Monchik (with nutella) ≈ 110p With strawberry filling ≈ 110p I advise everyone who will be in Gyumri 💪🏼

A very good grid in Gyumri! We stopped for breakfast. We took lahmajun, shawarma, coffee and a Donut with a Monch. Everything is very tasty! The difference between a donut and a monch is custard vanilla cream or chocolate (aka Nutella). Look at the photo size , impressive. Original, delicious! Definitely worth a visit.

An interesting place with a wide selection and low prices. Geolocation was not set up correctly, at first they searched for another one, but they did not find it. It is located in a large building on the right side. The donuts are thin and airy. Take exactly more than one :) There is a huge number of visitors on Sunday morning, and the order must wait at least 40 minutes. As a result, we moved to another branch of this network in 10 minutes on foot, there was no one there :)

A must-visit! We need to take both a donut and a monch)))). It will be especially interesting for children - they bring a huge donut, and when you press it with a fork, it turns into an ordinary one. A violinist also plays. It's a two-story cafe, and the seats are almost always occupied.

The first thing I note is the long queue at the cafe. We stood for about 20 minutes. It was necessary to visit such a popular place. In fact, it's a smile. Donuts - well, these are St. Petersburg crumpets (to taste), only pumped by a bicycle pump to the size of a huge oval. One bite and it deflates to the size of an ordinary crumpet. A scam, I thought. :)))) Next, the food. This is fast food. You look around, and everywhere students are sitting, eating hamburgers, sausages in dough and drinking Cola. First, I think we got to a place of haute cuisine))) So don't expect any wow flavors, everything is common for St. Petersburg-Moscow, it's just delicious and nothing more. They didn't understand what was so attractive about this place. Apparently, when Gyumri is all about national cuisine, and here you are: the food is fast food, where it is delivered quite quickly - this attracts the locals. I don't understand what tourists are doing there. Blowing away the score)))

We were not satisfied with the visit. We ordered ribs, mushroom soup, khachapuri, dessert, and a drink. The waiter (a curly-haired boy) came up and said, "There is no need." I asked you to pick it up without cheese. I tried to convince them that cheesecakes without cheese are very good, that I'm not allergic. Otherwise, I would have to call an ambulance. They asked for the bill 3 times, but I walked by. There are no complaints about the kitchen.

To be honest, I still don't understand why the "Monchik Donut" in Gyumri is causing such a stir. Perhaps the whole point is that this is the only doughnut shop in the city, so everyone goes there — both locals and tourists. But the experience itself turned out to be questionable. We spent almost an hour just waiting for the food: we stood for about 30 minutes until we were seated and our order was accepted, and it took about the same amount of time to prepare. The prices were also surprising — 400-500 drams per donut. For Gyumri, this is significantly above average, and the taste, although not bad, hardly justifies either the price or the time spent. It turns out that the experience is more from the queues and waiting than from the dessert itself. As a result, the place looks like a hyped "must-visit", but if you are not ready to sacrifice an hour for a couple of donuts, it is better to look for an alternative. There is a taste, but there is not as much pleasure from the process as we would like.

You guys are doing GREAT!To turn an ordinary DONUT into a UNIQUE DONUT, you really need to be a culinary Master! Delicious, clean, large and very tasty assortment! You can lick your fingers on ice cream! To visit sunny Gyumri with its unique architecture and not visit this famous institution is simply a crime in front of your stomach! I definitely recommend it!

We spent breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this place. I think that's saying something. Be aware that the portions are huge, do not order a lot at once. Because you can already overeat with one plate of pasta! The staff is top. Friendly and cheerful. We tried almost all the menus, everything was delicious!

We went in for a quick coffee and donuts and pies, waited 40 minutes for an order, served all the tables except ours, brought everything to the locals in 5 minutes, big companies are also a priority, we probably didn't come out with our faces. We asked about the order several times. Thank you for ruining the impression of Gyumri.

This place is a must-visit and you definitely need to try a donut and a donut with fervor, with heat. There are very long queues during the season and it's not so easy to find a free table, but it's worth it.

The doughnut looks very big, but in fact it is very thin and bloated. Cut and put a spoonful of jam. And another shared toilet for all, on 2 floors. There's not even a place to wash your hands, and the doughnut is sticky.....
