Drink A cultural note-Although the çay xana by the Xan Saray allows western women to enter, in general it is forbidden for females to enter such establishments.
Tea Houses/ Çay Xanalar
By the Xan Saray there is a nice outdoor çay xana (tea house) that serves tea and halva to people in their own individual nooks.
Çay xana (found throughout Azerbaijan) serve local piva (beer) - draft at 50 qapick/glass or bottles at 70 qapick/bottle or araq (vodka) at AZN2/bottle. For anything exotic (e.g. tequila, gin, or rum), you will have to go to the Sheki Saray bar and pay Western prices there.
**Cafés **
The only good coffee (besides Nescafe or Mac Coffee) is in the lobby of the Sheki Saray Hotel. Here you can have your favorite espresso concoction made by their Western-trained staff. The Café Mocha and the Sheki Halva Laté are some of the best hot drinks there. A variety of teas is also offered.
There is a good Turkish bakery next to the New Bazaar, where you can eat local pastries. The same items can also be ordered next door at the Istanbul Restoran, which has a nicer atmosphere. Their best cake is the Snickers Cake, although it is a bit pricy (50 qapick).
