The atmosphere at Aunja café is super pleasant. It has somewhat changed over the years but I've always had a nice experience. I get only beverage, sometimes a cake, which are always delicious. Persian fog is heavenly. & the cake with rose water is the top! Laptops aren't allowed in the front part of the café (not sure about the back) which makes the place feel cozy. Thank you for your kindness & welcoming spirit today, @Helios.

Several of us had the Persian fog which was good. I had the petite dejeuner complete. It gave me what i expected nothing fancy or over the top. The bread pieces were i felt too much. It's a lot of dryness to swallow down. The lentil soup was tad salty for my taste. More consistency of chili than a soup. The deli counter style was tad slow & busy packed behind the counter.

Quelle belle découverte sur Sherbrooke Ouest! L'atmosphère est vraiment chaleureuse & accueillante. J'ai adoré m'installer à l'une des tables recouvertes de ces magnifiques nappes aux motifs colorés qui donnent un cachet unique à l'endroit.

Nous avons passé un moment très agréable à déguster des pâtisseries délicates. La petite douceur au centre, avec son motif floral travaillé, était aussi jolie que savoureuse. C'est l'endroit parfait pour une pause gourmande. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.

Première fois au Café Aunja & certainement pas la dernière ! Ambiance très agréable, cuisine délicieuse (j'ai pris le petit déjeuner complet) & un thé iranien divin. Je recommande vivement! Servie par Ilias avec le sourire.
