I can absolutely see why this café is so popular. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & full of character, with great music that makes you want to stay longer. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy a conversation, or simply relax with a good drink.
The staff were genuinely friendly & welcoming. I tried the Persian Fog, & it completely lived up to the hype.m. I also ordered the Mountain Omelette, which was fresh, flavorful, & a great brunch option.

Adorable & classic artistic Persian decorations & warm cozy vibes, full of young people, super popular on weekends, especially today I just went there. Service could be delayed due to high demand of customers, but staffs are very responsive & friendly. They are extremely calm & cool,genteelly showed the generosity when a customer accidentally broke a glass lamp next to the window. You can see this is the warmth from Persain people. Coffee & rice cake were fantastic, the rice cake was combined with rose water inside, very fresh. Lentil soup was not to my likings because there's a herb inside I didn't like much but it's freshly & well-made. Price is fair. What amazes me the most was their collection of meaningful books along the bar seats. I really enjoyed the vibes here. Last but not least, pray for Iran & Iranian people, for love & peace you all deserve.

I stumbled upon Cafe Aunja while exploring the area & it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the city. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy & perfect for getting some work done or just catching up with a friend over a cup of tea. The decor has such a unique charm that makes you feel right at home. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I am in the neighborhood.

Our friends from Ottawa recommended this café to us, & when we came to Montreal, we had to visit. The moment we walked in, we were charmed by how warm & cozy it felt , almost like stepping into a grandmother's home. Everything had a nostalgic touch, especially the sholeh zard I tried , it tasted just like my grandmother's. We truly enjoyed every moment & can't wait to come back!
