Gorgeous place & amazing food. The food is truly authentic. Got the Sholeh Zard, something I'm very picky about, & was not disappointed! Bought 3 more to share with my friends to show them what a true Persian dessert is like haha. If you're visiting on a weekend, have at least another place in mind because you might not find a table as it's a very popular but small space.

The most amazing sandwich I have ever had in my life! The bread is amazing, the atmosphere is so warm & feels like home. It's often busy, & a bit slow to get served because of that, but it is worth the wait. There are so many options, but all are amazing & well worth the price. Big portions! The staff are all kind & welcoming, I highly recommend the veggie sandwich. Yum!!!

This is my go-to café downtown. It does get pretty crowded on the weekends, but for a good reason. Over the last year, I've tried their brunch items, sandwichs, teas, cold drinks, & desserts at this point, & I'd recommend anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the combo breakfast, the sholeh zard, & the London fog.

We ordered brunch through Uber Eats & the real star of the show was their saffron cake-unlike anything I've ever tasted! The cake was perfectly moist, with a delicate balance of sweetness & the distinct, luxurious flavor of saffron. Each bite felt like a little indulgence. It's clear that the ingredients are of the highest quality, & the attention to detail in every dish is evident. I can't recommend Café Aunja enough-if you're a fan of unique, flavorful desserts, the saffron cake is a must-try!
