🍽Food: 5/5 📍Place: 5/5 🤵Service: 5/5 💵Price: 5/5 What a gem to have this place around in Montréal. One of the best discoveries I made. I was simply walking by & it intrigued me, & then I had one of the beat breakfast ever. Kind people, amazing food, & of course at an awesome price. Do not forget trying their cakes!

Iranian style cafe providing delicious & very Persian teas, desserts & sandwich. Just one downside to consider: it is too popular on weekends so you need to reserve or wait for a table.

Wonderful persian coffee with a great atmosphere & decoration. Loved it! It's a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it. Also it's a great place to study, read, or work with a laptop..

Amazing place to eat! Beautiful atmosphere & wonderful variety on the menu. Only thing is I wish they would stay open later than 5pm like before COViD during the week, since right after work I cannot go grab something to eat & drink. The weekends are jammed pack…so unfortunately I barely visit Aunja anymore :(

Beautiful café! with amazing food & wonderful drinks (not just tasty but also beautiful presentation). The place is cozy & has this vintage but homey kinda feel that's very inviting. Servers here are also providing exceptional service! Even to those who aren't patrons yet. The avocado sandwich & the roasted veggies sandwich are surprisingly good. No meat & yet... Amazing! Also tried the lemonade & the persian fog, loved the later.
