A nice & cute spot. We came for a late brunch & shared two drinks & plates for two; the food is good, the drinks are great.

An interesting menu with unexpected beverages, both hot & cold. Personal highlight: the Persian Paradise, a drink featuring saffron, orange blossom, & basil seeds, which is surprising (in a good way) in both taste & texture. Many other teas, smoothies, & milkshakes I'd love to try.

Only minor drawback: you order & pay at the counter, though the food is brought to your table. The ambiance is pleasant, the decor is great, & the staff is nice. Would come back.

Food is delicious & always fresh. This said, we were not very happy with the service, we were served quite slowly (@lunch time /around 1:30pm) & most unpleasantly by a member of the staff who said « bon appétit » but did not even look at us & got rid of the plates as fast as she can. Il est dommage que la qualité du service n'égale pas la qualité du travail fait en cuisine. Un ou 2 membres du personnel supplémentaires à l'heure de pointe serait un choix judicieux.

Lovely cozy little spot to grab lunch! The prices for food & drinks were somewhat on the more expensive side, but definitely worth it for the quality. Highly recommend their fresh & delicious sandwiches.

I ordered a light breakfast & London fog.
The bread is so good that I can eat it without anything; London fog is the best drink I have drunk, I will come here again for it surely.
By the way, the clerk is very nice. I also recommend that foreigners come to visit!
Today's consumption: 24.65$ (includes tax)

Cozy nice cafe, local gem, the Persian Fog would be amazing if it wouldn't be served so scorching hot, have to wait for long time to cool it down. The drinks should be served with drinkable temperature, it is always possible to balance boiling water with a cold one after brewing a tea.
