This is a really nice spot!! Beautiful cozy interior with a surprising amount of seating. The Persian fog was so pretty & delicious, & the saffron cake was exactly what I was craving. Didn't get a chance to try any other food but it all looked absolutely delicious & fresh. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
