Review Summary

Cafe Aunja is described as a cozy and vibrant Persian inspired cafe with warm, eclectic decor and intimate spaces that invite lingering over breakfast or a book. Reviewers praise the fresh, generous food such as mountain omelette, lentil soup, Persian style sandwiches, and saffron cake, with many calling the Persian fog and London fog standout drinks. The atmosphere ranges from quietly comforting to lively and crowded on weekends, with some tables feeling tight and the noise level high when busy; reservations are often recommended to avoid waiting. The service is generally friendly and attentive, though a few visits report a slower pace during peak times. Aunja is also noted for its extensive tea and dessert menu, bookish ambiance, and a sense of homey hospitality that makes it a go to spot for studying, meeting friends, or casual meals. Overall it is seen as a unique Montreal fixture with a distinctive menu, strong drinks, and a warm vibe, albeit at a premium price.

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.

I like the tea, the decor, & the hospitability. But the Persian breakfast? Too simple to the point of confusion.

Iranian style cafe providing delicious & very Persian teas, desserts & sandwich. Just one downside to consider: it is too popular on weekends so you need to reserve or wait for a table.

Wonderful persian coffee with a great atmosphere & decoration. Loved it! It's a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it. Also it's a great place to study, read, or work with a laptop..

Beautiful café! with amazing food & wonderful drinks (not just tasty but also beautiful presentation). The place is cozy & has this vintage but homey kinda feel that's very inviting. Servers here are also providing exceptional service! Even to those who aren't patrons yet. The avocado sandwich & the roasted veggies sandwich are surprisingly good. No meat & yet... Amazing! Also tried the lemonade & the persian fog, loved the later.
