Gata bakery

A neighbourhood konditerskaya (pastry shop) that does one thing well: gata—the flaky, butter-soaked spiral pastry central to Armenian breakfasts. The space is compact and utilitarian; go early for warm stock. Signature item is the gata itself, unevenly golden and slightly dense, the way it should be. Also offers basic coffee and tea. Suits early risers, pastry enthusiasts, anyone walking the Cascade area. At 4000 AMD per check, you're buying a pastry or two plus a drink. Locally respected: 4.8 rating on 22 reviews suggests consistency over hype.

Things to note: No phone or website; cash likely. Limited indoor seating. Don't expect WiFi or lengthy stays. Closed hours not confirmed.
