Excellent place to go and relax and read your book with a cup of coffee. There's a small terrace you can sit at. The biggest variety of English titles in Tiblisi. Definitely recommended! 😊

Best place to have your morning coffee or tea. You can read and relax. Visit this place if you r in Tbilisi!!! Perfection !

A hidden gem in Rustaveli avenue. Cozy and lovely. Although, I wish there were more books in English.

English books are quite limited, but it's better than nothing. I like their notebooks and cards for sale. They usually have the titles that are quite popular (i.e. The Game of Thrones).

One of the best bookshops for expats and those who are looking for rare English and Georgian books. Nice cafe and pretty garden inside.

Cozy atmosphere with nice but slow staff. Coffee would be great if well prepared. You need to ask for normal cup if you dont want the paper one. Cats laying around the court yard.

At first sight is not the most comfortable place with simple and plain food. The place is started to be better after 2 hours with books. Found a book with Eastern vegetarian recipes (from Vegistan))

I'd say, best bookstore of all. Especially if you're looking for English Literature, been my favorite for a long time. You can also have a sit in a cozy cafe with wi-fi.

Coffee isn't bad (but I've tried just latte yet), nice yard, reasonable prices

At every bookstore i've been to in the USA, I was always encouraged to take pics inside. It's odd that in a country where foreigns are routinely photographed without permission, they have this. Read more

Prospero's, your best bet for English language books, but be warned, books are expensive. Only in Georgia would the sole English language bookstore prohibit taking pictures like it's 1989.

Coffee is good, books and patio with small tables I love it .

Chicken wrap has a very special taste due to the sauce they use, plus cheese. Highly recommended

Pretty good coffee and tea, specifically, they do French presses for 4 or 6 GEL

Really wide and great variety of English books. Nice to sit in the small courtyard and enjoy your tea/coffee.

Utterly very goоd place. Accurately cozy environment, yummy drinks and etc. You can hardily don't listen and do not believe the bad (fortunately we don't have a truly bad reviews here!) reviews ;-)

A little piece of europe in the heart of tblisi. if like me you don't like to bump into English speaking abroad avoid but if you do it's very cool
Thorben Seierø JensenAugust 30, 2014
The ambiance. Coffee and cookies are so-so, but it's a very cosy little place to start your day. If you're not a reader, probably go elsewhere.

Prospero's it set back about 10 yards off Rustaveli. They have a little courtyard where you can sit outside and drink your coffee. Read more

Cozy, fresh drinks, nice patio type place
Salome BeruashviliApril 15, 2017
A good working space but not a wide range of food. Coconut tea is delicious.

Prospero's Books on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi. Your best bet for finding English language (or German) books. Be warned, it is easy to miss. Here's the sign on Rustaveli. Read more

Cozy place with a very European style. While Prospero wins with wide variety of books, they serve one of the worst iced coffees in here!
Petar VeljačićAugust 28, 2012
Cozy, quiet place to have a drink, surf and read, my favorite cafe so far in Tbilisi
Davit NersisyanJune 17, 2017

The book store is set off of Rustaveli so look for the store sign or the sign for the consulate of Canada and walk through the gates.

The coffee is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Try Turkish coffee or French press. Great place indeed, Wi-Fi is of a poor quality though...

Bigger but not better. Still good for English books on Georgia. Disappointing cafe. Returned stale brownie. Offered something else eventually as we're leaving but all too late. No refund offered.
Hossein EidiDecember 7, 2017
Not a bad collection of English books, so calm and warm

Book about Marilyn Monroe, sandwiched between George W. Bush's "Decision Points" and a book about Bill Clinton.
Artur PapyanOctober 9, 2011
yes, and they got brownies and perfect english speaking staff

wifi doesn't always configure correctly automatically. Make sure to chang e encription into 128 bit if you're gettin authentication errors

Cozy atmosphere in the court yard but the worst latte ever. Where do they take this coffee bones from in Tbilisi? Starving to find an acceptable coffee :(
