Lovely comfortable place to stop for a drink & a bite to eat. My tea was great - & made as requested not to sweet. Cake was delicious.

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.

My first time in Montreal didn't go exactly as planned-my girlfriend (she's from Toronto) & I (from Vermont) were hoping to spend most of our time exploring Old Montreal, but the weather had other ideas. So we pivoted, looking for a cozy café where we could stay warm, write, & enjoy good food, & that's how we found Café Aunja.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like something special. Our visit ended up being so memorable & romantic that we now think of it as'our' place.

The seating is abundant, & while the lighting leans dim, it's adjustable, which makes it ideal whether you're writing, chatting, or just people-watching with a cup in hand. The staff are warm & extremely welcoming, & as someone who's been a barista for 15 years, I can honestly say the drinks & food were made with real care. You can taste the pride in every detail-from presentation to flavor.

Café Aunja has Iranian roots, & it was my first time trying items like the Kereshmeh & Nargoun smoothies, both of which were bright, fruity, & refreshing. I also had a slice of their blueberry cake, which looked beautiful & tasted even better. On the more traditional side, I tried their moka latte, while my girlfriend went for their floral & herb-packed teas, which were as pretty as they were flavorful.

We ended up coming back two more times during our trip to write & relax, & I actually started my next novel there. She left equally inspired. Even if we stay in a different part of the city next time, we've already agreed: we're coming back to Café Aunja.

It's not just a café-it's a creative sanctuary, a cozy escape from the weather, & now, a cherished part of our story.

The rosemary cake was one of the best cakes I've ever had. The pastry was stupendous & spectacular. The vibes & warmth & coziness of the establishment were fantastic. The coffee was decent & the food was good with a nice variety of flavours that complemented each other. Also love the fantastic reads scattered all throughout the restaurant. I'd be back in a heartbeat for coffee & their desserts/pastries.

This is a hidden gem of Montreal. I tried their persian fog & rose tea & they were both delicious. I have never tasted such a rich flavour of saffron jn a drink or a cake before. The design & colour & ambiance of this place was so beautiful.

We ordered brunch through Uber Eats & the real star of the show was their saffron cake-unlike anything I've ever tasted! The cake was perfectly moist, with a delicate balance of sweetness & the distinct, luxurious flavor of saffron. Each bite felt like a little indulgence. It's clear that the ingredients are of the highest quality, & the attention to detail in every dish is evident. I can't recommend Café Aunja enough-if you're a fan of unique, flavorful desserts, the saffron cake is a must-try!

Got a tiny piece of cake that was dry & tasteless. & it cost a small fortune. My chair was painful to sit on. Never going back. Staff members were cheerful & helpful.
