There are several cafes in Mtskheta, but one deserves special recognition: Cafe Guga. Cafe Guga has indoor and outdoor seating--the outdoor seating is especially nice in warm weather as each party will have their own private dining "hut." The Georgian cuisine available is outstanding and costs far less than a comparable meal in Tbilisi. It's almost worth it to come from Tbilisi to Mtskheta just for dinner here! Another extremely popular place is "Salobie" on the way to Mtzkheta to Tbilisi. It's a large restaurant with both outdoor and indoor seating areas and the food is exceptionally good.
There is also a relatively large grocery store "á£ááááá ááá" or "УнивеÑмаг" located north of Samtavro on the main road between Samtavro and Bebris Tsikhe where you can buy cheap basic foods and drinks.
