Located on Tamanyan Street right at the base of the iconic architectural monument, Sorriso Cascade is a cornerstone of Yerevan’s vibrant café culture.

Known for its prime outdoor seating that offers a front-row seat to the Cascade’s sculptures and fountains, it provides a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a place that feels like a perpetual summer afternoon, characterized by bright colors, bustling energy, and the constant clink of gelato spoons. As a flagship of the Sorriso brand, which brought authentic Italian gelato to Yerevan in 2012, this location is a masterclass in "Dolce Vita."
