A characterful cafe with attentive staff. I had their ginger herbal tea, which was delicious, & a good generous breakfast. As I walked to the museum, the warmth of their rose & cardamom jam lingered long after. Would definitely go back!

Expensive experience, but I would say for the most part it's worth it. As a student, the computer policy is a little confusing & inconsistent. I've had a good number of their drinks, overall tasted pretty good, except one time I was recommended a ginger tea, my throat & tongue hurt for the rest of the day. Other than that, only positive experiences.

Such a unique café , it honestly felt like it had a Persian soul to it. The decor, the books, the atmosphere… everything felt so thoughtful & special. The food & drinks were good too, but the vibe & aesthetic were definitely the highlight for me.
