Mirzoyan Library

Address 10 Mher Mkrtchyan Street

A photography library and cafe inside a restored 19th-century house on a small street behind Northern Avenue. What began as one collector's archive of photography books has expanded into one of Yerevan's most pleasant indoor-outdoor cafe-bars, with a small bookshop, regular exhibitions, and a leafy back garden that turns into a wine and small-plates spot in the evenings.

It is exactly the kind of place that makes Yerevan's coffee culture worth lingering over — quiet during the day, more lively at night, popular with the city's photographers, designers, and architects. The wine list focuses on small Armenian producers.
