atmosphere. I tried the Iranian breakfast & their signature saffron drink,both were incredibly delicious!
The only small downside was that it was a bit busy since it was the weekend, & I had brought a book to read, so it was a little hard to concentrate. But overall, I really enjoyed the experience & will definitely be back!

Everything was okay except for the wait. It shouldn't take 48 minutes for an omelette!

I can absolutely see why this café is so popular. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & full of character, with great music that makes you want to stay longer. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy a conversation, or simply relax with a good drink.
The staff were genuinely friendly & welcoming. I tried the Persian Fog, & it completely lived up to the hype.m. I also ordered the Mountain Omelette, which was fresh, flavorful, & a great brunch option.
