Experiential Learning Center
CEMI Café is a creative learning lab of Apicius International School of Hospitality in Armenia and an important part of the school’s approach to experiential learning, combining academic instruction with real-life professional practice.
Like FEDORA Bistro in Florence, CEMI Café in Dilijan is designed as a practical training space where students and supervising faculty work together in a real hospitality environment.

Educational Concept
CEMI Café is not simply a café. It is a learning environment, where practical training is a core part of the student journey. Through daily operations, students are able to apply classroom knowledge in a real setting, while developing technical skills, service culture, communication, teamwork, and professional confidence.
The model is based on the idea that learning happens not only through formal instruction, but also through direct interaction with guests, communities, and the realities of hospitality operations.
CEMI Café also creates a direct connection between education and community. By interacting with guests in a live setting, students gain valuable real-world experience while contributing to a welcoming and high-quality public-facing space.
