Very cozy vibes! Loved the Persian Fog (heads up: it's definitely sweet!) & the cake was good too. I want to go back to try their savoury food!

Great place to have a nice Persian fog, sandwich looked really good. Higher price tag than usual but overall good quality. Service was not fast, but there was a crowed - which is fair, expected slightly faster.

the Persian Fog (Brouilliard Perse) was an amazing beverage, a must try - never had anything like it.

The decor inside is really cute & specially curated. It's a little small of a space, perfect for groups of 2-3, but maybe not much more.

Arrive early or make a reservation! We got there right after opening at 10am on a saturday & managed to get one of three unreserved spots

The omelette de montagne was amazing, but all of the food looked so good. About $25-30 per person for breakfast + a drink

How can I even explain how amazing of an experience dining here can be. We ate two chicken koukou sandwiches + two milkshakes... each burst of flavour that occured felt like a splash of cold water on a hot sizzling pan. My life is not the same since stumbling upon this place & I will be back. Thank you

The baristas were very helpful in finding me a table & suggesting tea blends.
The place was extremely busy & quite loud. Since they do take reservations, I strongly suggest making one if you do not want to have to wait standing in a drafty doorway 😉

A wonderful Persian café with a fabulous brunch, fragrant teas, & truly delicious sandwiches. Everything feels fresh, generous, & made with care. A place that quickly becomes a favourite.
