Anna's Cafe - Restaurant- Patisserie

I had a student called Anna in one of my trainings. She had written a dissertation on Indian rural-urban migration and stayed for a while in India. She was married to an Abkhaz guy and that had brought her to Abkhazia from Moscow. I dont know the details of her story but she is a hard working, honest and creative girl.
She told me her wishes to open a patisserie. However, what she opened in the end is a great cafe-restaurant where you can find some homemade delicious muffins and cakes as long as she is around.
The restaurant is styled in a comfy way, couches and puffs inside, colorful walls and services, Nice big plates for delicious food and big glasses for drinks.
I started with a cup of cappuccino served with cinnamon on top (60 rubles). Delicious.
Than went on with my favorite junk food: Hamburger!!! It was served with fried potatoes. It turned out to be a cheeseburger but the meat ball was really thick and had tasted fine. There were sliced pickled cucumbers and mayonnaise and some tomato dressing. The fries were not too fatty and many were perfectly cooked though some tasted uncooked. Still it was worth the 90 rubles price.
I wanted to go on with some fresh juice- lemon or apple. Unfortunately, they did not have anything natural - i guess Anna is away from Abkhazia since she did not appear yet- which results in lack of choices in homemade stuff like juices and muffins...

I asked for tea in the end. That is served in a pot. Hot and tasty. About four cups of tea came from the pot. I did not check the price for that since it was not in my first choices. In this pic of the tea pot and cup, you can also see the general look of the cafe.
I am still sitting at the cafe. Here you can see detail of the material that gives a relaxing look to the whole place, on two side walls. I think this resembles an indian style.
Well done Anna!!!
This place is on Prospect Peace (Pr. Mira-Atinchra Amyoadu) and it gives the guests a peacefull environment...
