Cafe Aunja is described as a cozy and vibrant Persian inspired cafe with warm, eclectic decor and intimate spaces that invite lingering over breakfast or a book. Reviewers praise the fresh, generous food such as mountain omelette, lentil soup, Persian style sandwiches, and saffron cake, with many calling the Persian fog and London fog standout drinks. The atmosphere ranges from quietly comforting to lively and crowded on weekends, with some tables feeling tight and the noise level high when busy; reservations are often recommended to avoid waiting. The service is generally friendly and attentive, though a few visits report a slower pace during peak times. Aunja is also noted for its extensive tea and dessert menu, bookish ambiance, and a sense of homey hospitality that makes it a go to spot for studying, meeting friends, or casual meals. Overall it is seen as a unique Montreal fixture with a distinctive menu, strong drinks, and a warm vibe, albeit at a premium price.
Cozy nice cafe, local gem, the Persian Fog would be amazing if it wouldn't be served so scorching hot, have to wait for long time to cool it down. The drinks should be served with drinkable temperature, it is always possible to balance boiling water with a cold one after brewing a tea.
I love the Persian fog. It tastes just amazing. The saffron cake is also another to go option for me. We also tried a new tea which tastes so refreshing, but I forgot the name. The atmosphere is very nice very cosy & welcoming. I'd recommend it.
Easily my favourite cafe in Montreal. Lovely ambiance for a date or meeting friends, & great for studying or reading as well. Food & drinks are perfect. Thanks Cafe Aunja!
Quaint cafe with good Persian food. We had our breakfast here & thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sets - full breakfast which came with lentil soup & mountain omelette. The Iranian bread that came with the sets were really good. Great service from the team as well!
Cafe aunja offers a very delicate & elegant Persian-inspired environment. It's a perfect place for afternoon tea. I tried their specialty tea - Persian Fragrance. An amazing combination of different flowers, a bit sourness from the lime, & a bit sweetness from honey. Highly recommended!

I came to the cafe with my little daughter, how much I enjoyed & it reminded me of my memories in Iran, wonderful cake & tea, I am very excited to come again. Highly recommend everyone to try this beautiful cafe.😊
This café has a very unique atmosphere. I love having London Fog here, it tastes really great! It has a lavender taste to it which is quite unique too.
