A real hidden Gem & one of its kind. Very artisan type. Something in between a cafe & a restaurant. Their speciality is'' Persian Fog''. Coffees are great too. Ideal place to accompany someone. Not a Digital Nomad location although you could calmly carryout your work. The place gets very busy during weekends.

This is a beautiful cafe. Much more beautiful than I expected: the Persian carpets, the design everything is done with a lot of care. The menu has a lot of variety & has a lot of the Persian signature drinks & even a Persian fog. I would highly recommend coming here. The only thing people need to know is that there's a small space for people who want to use their laptop. Otherwise it's a wonderful cafe to go to.

I was disappointed when I asked the server for some jam & he said'it was extra'. 2 sunny side up eggs with Nann bread & olives for $17.95 could warrant a little jam. I know it's homemade but really? We are very loyal customers ( come at least once / week) my husband had the cheese omelet & enjoyed. We usually get the tuna wrap which is great.
Thx
