Beautiful interior decor with an authentic Persian feel. I've only tried out their smoothies & teas but they are very refreshing. Would definitely go back, mostly for the vibes.

I stumbled upon Cafe Aunja while exploring the area & it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the city. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy & perfect for getting some work done or just catching up with a friend over a cup of tea. The decor has such a unique charm that makes you feel right at home. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I am in the neighborhood.

Honestly one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafes I have visited lately. The interior design is stunning & creates such a calming vibe that is hard to come by in such a busy part of town. I really enjoyed the selection of teas & the overall quietude of the space. It is a great spot to bring a book or just sit & enjoy the quiet for an hour or two. Highly recommended for a low key afternoon.

A characterful cafe with attentive staff. I had their ginger herbal tea, which was delicious, & a good generous breakfast. As I walked to the museum, the warmth of their rose & cardamom jam lingered long after. Would definitely go back!

Expensive experience, but I would say for the most part it's worth it. As a student, the computer policy is a little confusing & inconsistent. I've had a good number of their drinks, overall tasted pretty good, except one time I was recommended a ginger tea, my throat & tongue hurt for the rest of the day. Other than that, only positive experiences.

I liked the atmosphere of the cafe however the service & food was not of our liking!
Servant did not bother even bringing the menu to us !
We ordered lentil soup & a tea pot. Lentils were not fully cooked! I won't call it lentil soup!
& tea was not usual Iranian tea expected !
I expected higher from this place! Unfortunately disappointing!
