As other comments have said, the café has a good vibe & products are of good quality. However, prices are very expensive for what it is (e.g., the iranian breakfast is $16 or so when there's 2 slices of cheese, some honey & a few slices of bread & veggies, & cappucino is $7). You can't use laptops on all tables so ask your waiter first!

À chaque fois que j'en ai l'occasion, je m'arrête à ce café & j'y amène une amie. C'est toujours une belle expérience. L'endroit est cosy & le service est souriant. On y découvre une cuisine qu'on ne retrouve pas partout & on voyage à chaque plat.

Situé près du musée, je le recommande autant avant qu'après votre visite, en été comme en hiver.

This café has such a warm, cozy, cultural, & colorful vibe. It's perfect for anyone who loves studying, working, or reading in cafés. The space is very aesthetically pleasing & instantly makes you feel comfortable. The food is healthy, though a bit on the expensive side.
I had one of their teas (Persian rose, orange blossom, orange peel, lemon verbena, & honey) & honestly, it relaxed me so much that I had to go back home just to sleep (it made so sleepy). It was incredibly calming & soothing (I would recommend taking it around your sleep time). I'd definitely go back just for that tea.

Under the first level, this café looks small from outside but reveals a AliBaba's cavern once inside. Café is good. Food portions are ample. The place is filled with clients at 12: 15am on this weekday, so arrive soon or your order can take time to arrive. Service is nice.

This place left a permanent mark on my soul! Loved the all Persian breakfast here. The two ladies working there, make a huge effort to tend to their guests.
The omelet & the drinks are absolutely amazing! We went in a party of 8 people so we got to try many drinks. SO good! I will look for this place to go back multiple times on my next visit!

Went here with a group with a reservation for 9am which is when this cafe opens. The reserved table didn't have enough chairs. We had to go up to the counter to order & prepay. Food was then brought to our table. I ordered a big pot of tea to share. Others received their meals but I had to go up to the counter to ask for the tea pot after more than 10 minutes. I was then told that they were waiting for the tea to steep. I told them that I didn't like strong tea. Once the tea pot was brought to our table, I had to go up to ask for milk, spoons. The milk container was tiny so I had to go up again to ask for more. When I went up another time to ask for more water to dilute the strong tea, the server made a face like I was being difficult. This teapot cost $15 which I think is too expensive for just some tea leaves & hot water & poor service. Also, I had ordered peach blossom & English Breakfast tea but my tea had what looked like rosebuds in it so not sure that I received the correct order. We had brought the 2 glass containers of teas that we wanted up to the counter.

The breakfast omelets looked good if a little expensive.
My friend paid over $30 for an omelet & a latte.

I find it strange that a place that serves breakfast would only open at 9am in Downtown Montreal.

The cafe itself was comfortable & had a nice view of a small courtyard. There seemed to be some regulars that don't mind paying the high prices.

I visited this cafe on two occasions since it is considered a very popular cafe & eatery within walking distance of my hostel.

When you walk in, the atmosphere is both cozy & romantic with its moody lighting & vintage furniture.

I've tried their highly coveted Persian London fog & saffron cake & falafel sandwich. While the falafel was made fresh, the flavors were unfortunately lacking & dry that I finished more than half my beverage to help wash it down before finishing my sandwich. The saffron cake was sweet & 1-dimensional & the London fog tasted nothing more than sweetened milk.

One of the best cafes in Montreal! The food & drinks here are always amazing - the coucou, cake with rose water, & Persian fog are some of the best things I've ever had. The vibes are immaculate, it's a super cosy spot. The only issue is that it's always full (fair enough), so I wouldn't recommend it for studying or working.
