Beautiful Cafe. Explored recently
Ordered a veg sandwich filled with veges & cheese, it was delicious.

Ordered a four berry smoothie & the smoothie was excellent too, refreshing drink on very hot day in MTL.

The ambience of the Cafe is so cute. I felt I could sit there for work for long hours.

It was a quiet place to sit chat. No loud music.
Overall I loved it.

Food & drink very expensive, service was inconsistent, cafes are usually quiet but this ones bustling & cramped. Gave it chances for the aesthetic, horrible.

Amazing drinks & great atmosphere! Small wooden tables, books, & plants create the perfect setting for this cozy cafe. I had the Persian Fog, which was absolutely delicious, very sweet. The pistachio foam & saffron make this a unique & flavorful drink. The pastries were also excellent! Limited seating outside & there was a no laptop policy when we visited. Hoping to return here on our next trip to Montreal.

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.

This is an outstanding & unique place to visit in Montreal. The ambiance is fantastic & while it does get busy as the day goes on when we arrived at 10:00 a.m. for breakfast there were plenty of seats. The specialty drinks they have are wonderful, I had a Persian fog & my dining companion had a Persian delight. Both were superb. The Persian fog is like a London fog but with rose syrup. We had the Iranian breakfast & the combo breakfast. At first I thought this is not much food for the price but I was wrong. It is very filling. Although there are many signs that say no laptops there was one person using a laptop, the staff did not say anything perhaps when it gets busier but be mindful that you are not supposed to use a laptop in this cafe as seating is limited.
