1. Abovyan 12 (aka Dalan): Best breakfast restaurant with a beautiful setting
Dalan is a charming spot that surprises you with its entrance: what seems like a gift shop actually leads to a cozy garden. The smell of Armenian Jazzve coffee pulls you in, and you’ll find yourself in a serene space with an old truck-turned-piano and vine-covered tables bathed in sunlight. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a traditional Armenian breakfast with coffee, fresh fruits, bread, spreads, and cheeses. Dalan is a great spot to relax, though keep in mind smoking is allowed as it’s an outdoor space. There are vegetarian options, but limited vegan ones.
2. The Green Bean coffee shop: where to eat an organic breakfast in Yerevan
They serve a variety of delicious coffees, teas, and drinks (including their homemade compote), all made with high-quality, organic ingredients. The owners are passionate about promoting a green, health-conscious lifestyle, which we really appreciated.
The Green Bean is perfect for breakfast, offering both classic Western options and traditional Armenian dishes. The vibe is relaxed, making it a great place to work or meet up with friends. It’s definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in Yerevan!
3. Crumbs Bread Factory: Best place to eat homemade bread and pastries
Crumbs Bread Factory, with three locations in Yerevan, is a must-visit, especially the one on Mashtots Street near the Opera House and Saryan Park. This bakery and café is perfect for breakfast or lunch, offering everything from fresh-baked bread and pastries to delicious salads and healthy sandwiches.
The vibe is super chill, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or get some work done. They also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Plus, it’s another non-smoking spot in Yerevan, which is always a bonus! Definitely a place you won’t want to miss.
4. Baron, amazing Western Armenian breakfast food in Yerevan
Baron is a recent gem, especially for those who grew up in the diaspora—it’s like the flavors of your mom’s cooking come to life! The restaurant offers a delightful mix of Lebanese, Mediterranean, Arabic, and Middle Eastern dishes.
With separate breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, you can expect delicious options all day long. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or following a halal diet, there’s something for everyone here. We highly recommend their breakfast mezze, foul, falafel, and a variety of dips like hummus, muhamara, and baba ghanouj. Also, don’t miss their lentil kofta and fresh salads—they’re all packed with flavor.
If you’re after a spot that caters to diverse tastes and dietary needs, Baron is the perfect choice!
5. Tsitron, the perfect breakfast restaurant in Yerevan
If you’re a fan of Egg McMuffins, you’ll love the Dzuffin at this spot—an English muffin sandwich filled with egg, bacon, and cheese.
Though the restaurant is small, it offers a variety of tasty meals, with many Middle Eastern options. They even have vegan choices, so there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly breakfast in Yerevan, this is definitely the place to go!
