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.

A beautiful & unique Persian cafe. Loved the falafel sandwich & Persian fog. I wish the parsley were cut into smaller pieces in the sandwich.

We went to this place right after dining in their restaurant next door!
Atmosphere & the design - just like the restaurant- is well thought & resembling Iranian culture & heritage.
We have ordered a dessert called Freni, which was very delicious. Followed up by ginger tea, persian fog & some classic black tea. All well presented & proportionate. Saffron cake was also delicious!

A café with a distinctly Persian vibe! The décor is completely Iranian! it honestly felt like I had stepped into a café in Tehran. The menu is very professionally designed & offers appealing items for both Iranians & non-Iranians alike. The staff were kind & welcoming.
I had a Persian Fog !it was tea latté with lovely saffron aroma. My friends also enjoyed their orders. I'll definitely be coming back next time for breakfast

We had a lovely experience at this Persian café.
We started with black tea & saffron cake - the cake had a rich flavor without being overwhelming. The Persian fog was also very good. One of the highlights for me was the ferni; it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, & incredibly satisfying. The ginger tea was well-prepared too. Highly recommended
