Hubby & I visiting Montreal & this cafe is the best one we had here. The ginger tea & London fog are unreal that we came back twice for the drinks & had to have the food! A hidden gem with amazing drinks, food, atmosphere & service. Such friendly, amazing staff too! Highly recommend it! Wish we had a place like this back home ❤️
Absolutely loved their Persian fog & the cookies! Definitely would try their saffron cake when I have the chance! Also love the woody/cozy vibe they did with this place
My favourite café in Montreal hands down. It feels so cozy & homey, perfect for catching up with a friend, journaling, drawing or just sipping on some really good tea. I always get the Persian Fog & it never disappoints. It's a perfect balance between sweet & salty. I've also tried the Persian Fragrance tea which is another great option & the Chicken Koukou. Not a huge fan of the chicken Koukou as I found it to be a bit bland, but that's a personal preference.
One of my favorite café to read or hang out with friends. Everyone working there is sooo nice & the food/drinks are amazing! It's very cozy, warm & welcoming. I always take a Persian Fog & a Ferni, but they also have really good tea options :)
Nous avions un petit coin car c'était super occupé! J'ai essayé le Persan Fog & Wow!! Super bon je recommande! Un des seuls café downtown que j'aime beaucoup pour l'ambiance & les bons produits!
Quaint little Persian café, great ambiance & sitting space. We tried the Persian Fog & Ginger Tea - both were great. The Chicken Koukous Sandwich wasn't up to our taste. But its a great place to meet friends, would love to try more of their menu. Only the chicken & Beef is halal here, not the sausage & Turkey. So best to ask the staff before you order, if Halal food is a compulsion for you.
