Such a lovely café! The atmosphere is warm & cozy, with beautiful Persian touches that make the place feel really unique. I loved the Persian fog, & the overall vibe. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, have a good conversation, & enjoy a peaceful moment away from the busy city. Definitely one of my top favofite spots!!

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.

Adorable & classic artistic Persian decorations & warm cozy vibes, full of young people, super popular on weekends, especially today I just went there. Service could be delayed due to high demand of customers, but staffs are very responsive & friendly. They are extremely calm & cool,genteelly showed the generosity when a customer accidentally broke a glass lamp next to the window. You can see this is the warmth from Persain people. Coffee & rice cake were fantastic, the rice cake was combined with rose water inside, very fresh. Lentil soup was not to my likings because there's a herb inside I didn't like much but it's freshly & well-made. Price is fair. What amazes me the most was their collection of meaningful books along the bar seats. I really enjoyed the vibes here. Last but not least, pray for Iran & Iranian people, for love & peace you all deserve.

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.

This place has a special energy & vibe that is like no other coffee shop in town. Their drinks are so refreshing. It is a busy place so you may have to wait to find seats but it's surely worth the wait.

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
