I went to Cafe Aunja twice this past week! Both times around 11am or so & although it was a bit busy, my friends & I found tables fairly easily/ after a brief wait. The set up is that you order at the counter & sit wherever. The first time I got the Majoun smoothie which was absolutely delicious, filling, & well sized (highly recommend!). A few days later I went back for brunch, & got the Mountain Omelette - also very yummy! I look forward to trying more of their drinks & food in the future.

Super spot! Super cozy, bon service, belle ambiance... La tisane menthe & jujube était vraiment bonne! J'ai oublié de bien mélanger; gênez vous pas de la brassée puisqu'elle est un peu sucré & qu'il le mette en début de préparation ;)

This is one of those kinds of places that really does deserve 5 stars. We had smoothies with banana, walnut & date which had highly interesting & delicious flavor & texture, a chocolate cake that I could say the same about, & probably the best lentil soup I've ever had.

Ordered hot chocolate & a cake to go; the hot chocolate was hot, thick & delicious; wasn't expecting it to be that good at a cafe seemed specialized in tea! The cake was fresh & moisture, every bite was a treat! Cool decoration & plenty seats in the cafe. Pleasant service.
