A jazzve is a long-handled coffee pot in which rich Armenian coffee is brewed, and this popular chain of cafes specialises in coffee made this way. It also offers espresso coffees, a huge range of tea, snacks, ice-cream sundaes, smoothies and cocktails. There are other branches scattered around town.
