We went to this place right after dining in their restaurant next door!
Atmosphere & the design - just like the restaurant- is well thought & resembling Iranian culture & heritage.
We have ordered a dessert called Freni, which was very delicious. Followed up by ginger tea, persian fog & some classic black tea. All well presented & proportionate. Saffron cake was also delicious!

A café with a distinctly Persian vibe! The décor is completely Iranian! it honestly felt like I had stepped into a café in Tehran. The menu is very professionally designed & offers appealing items for both Iranians & non-Iranians alike. The staff were kind & welcoming.
I had a Persian Fog !it was tea latté with lovely saffron aroma. My friends also enjoyed their orders. I'll definitely be coming back next time for breakfast

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant.
First of all, it's very strange (& honestly off-putting) that they ask for a tip before providing any service. That makes no sense & feels inappropriate.
Secondly, there's no basic setup on the tables - not even salt. You have to leave your table, go to the counter, & ask for them, you cannot find anything on counter.
As for the breakfast, the quality was very average. Nothing special, nothing memorable.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

We had a lovely experience at this Persian café.
We started with black tea & saffron cake - the cake had a rich flavor without being overwhelming. The Persian fog was also very good. One of the highlights for me was the ferni; it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, & incredibly satisfying. The ginger tea was well-prepared too. Highly recommended

Cozy environment, mostly occupied
Their sandwiches are tasty but also expensive.
A sandwich & milkshake/coffee/tea will be $30+
