This is a hidden gem of Montreal. I tried their persian fog & rose tea & they were both delicious. I have never tasted such a rich flavour of saffron jn a drink or a cake before. The design & colour & ambiance of this place was so beautiful.

Amazing cafe with lots of coffee & teas to choose from. The food was delicious & offered a variety. Very popular place so it gets busy quick but well worth the wait. Not a big place so it gets packed inside. Staff was very friendly & helpful.

This cafe is just the best. It's got this chic middle eastern vibe going on which works perfect with the ambience. The food is fresh, although it's just sandwiches amongst solid food & rest are all drinks which are great too. They are generous with the amount & prices are reasonable too.
I vividly enjoyed my time there, especially coz of the atmosphere.

Best extravagant drinks, where I go for a treat with friends but not always the best to study in. Super pretty decorations
