Les avis sur Cafe Aunja convergent pour décrire une adresse chaleureuse et intime, avec un décor persan raffiné et une ambiance cosy propice à la détente, à la lecture ou au travail. La carte offre une belle variété de plats du petit déjeuner au dessert, des sandwichs généreux, des desserts gourmands et des boissons signatures comme le Persian Fog et le London Fog, ainsi que des pâtisseries au goût ravissant. Le lieu est souvent décrit comme un joyau caché, très apprécié mais aussi très fréquenté, ce qui peut le rendre bruyant et difficile pour trouver une place lors des apres midi et des fins de semaine; la réservation est recommandée. Le service est généralement chaleureux et attentionné, mais peut être lent pendant les périodes d affluence et parfois décevant lorsque le flux de clients est élevé. Les prix sont parfois jugés élevés pour ce qui est offert, mais la qualité des préparations, la fraîcheur des ingrédients et l ambiance justifient souvent le coût. Cafe Aunja est une destination prisée pour découvrir une cuisine persane moderne et des boissons et gâteaux uniques, et il est conseillé d arriver tôt ou de réserver pour profiter pleinement de l experience.
I got the koukou chicken sandwich.
It was delicious but impossible to eat, just looking at it, I thought I was gonna break my jaw 😅. Perhaps take the same quantity & just make it more flat (ie. Bigger in width than height).
Also, I think you should have an option for tea or drink with the meal that is reasonably priced. (Ex: 5$ cup of tea if purchased with a meal). The only option available was a pot of tea 10$ & all other tea drinks >9$.
Thank you.
The pistachio latte & pudding are great - but noisy & the waitress wasn't so keen on going back to amend the order - they brought two pistachio lattes when we ordered 1 pistachio & 1 lavender.
Cafe Aunja is truly one of the most unique & charming cafes in Montreal. From the moment you walk in, you feel transported into a warm, cozy space filled with Persian culture, beautiful details, & a relaxing atmosphere.
The drinks are exceptional especially the famous Persian Fog, which is unlike anything else in the city. The food is fresh, flavorful, & thoughtfully prepared, the saffron cake & lentil soup are absolute must tries.
The service is warm & welcoming, with a well organized system where you order at the counter & everything is brought to your table. Even when it gets busy, the team remains attentive & kind, making sure guests feel comfortable throughout their visit.
Overall, Cafe Aunja is not just a cafe it's an experience. A little piece of Persian warmth in the heart of Montreal.
if you're looking for a place where to hang out with friends, this cafe would be the best. They have the best drinks, coffee & sandwiches. Truly amazing thank you so much guys!
I visited this café for the first time & absolutely loved its beautiful & cozy atmosphere. I tried the Iranian breakfast & their signature saffron drink,both were incredibly delicious!
The only small downside was that it was a bit busy since it was the weekend, & I had brought a book to read, so it was a little hard to concentrate. But overall, I really enjoyed the experience & will definitely be back!
A hidden gem full of Persian charm!
This super cute & uniquely designed Persian café completely stole my heart. The food was absolutely delicious, & the coffee-rich, aromatic, & bold-was exactly what I needed. ☕?
You can truly feel the soul of Persian culture here. The owner, an architect, has done an exceptional job creating a space that blends authenticity, beauty, & warmth in every detail. From the handpicked décor to the cozy ambiance, it's like stepping into a little piece of Iran.
Don't miss their wide selection of herbal hot & cold drinks-refreshing, soothing, & full of character! 🥤
Highly recommended if you're looking for a place that offers not just a meal, but an experience.

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!

Cozy place but low standards for food & service. We were served cold food (eggs, omlette). The falafel sandwich was dry (imagine felafel in thick barbari bread with a bit of mayo!). Tea was impossible to drink in the jars they served them in & tasted like hot water (because they are not properly brewed & leaves float on top). You pay for food & tip before you get food & service so they don't care when you tell them about your experience. One of the orders came with soup, but we were told after that they didn't have any & they just added more potatoes to the dish which already came with potatoes. Overall disappointing experience. My advice if you end up there is: order coffee & cake & go somewhere else for food, it's not worth it. Don't compromise on your standards.
Edit: Thank you for the reply. My review was not about misunderstanding your concept. I know what quick service means, & I know what tisanes & barbari bread are. The issue was the quality.
Many people think they created something new, but there is a reason no one eats falafel in thick barbari bread. You use it because it is the only bread you have, which is convenience, not ingenuity, & it makes the sandwich dry.
If a tea or tisane tastes like hot water with honey, it is not well prepared.
Requiring customers to tip before receiving food or service creates responsibility. If the service does not meet expectations, the simple solution is to apologize & offer a refund, or remove the pre tip option & let people tip at the end.
Regarding the soup, the problem was that you knew it was not available at the time of ordering. I asked for the soup of the day, & you serve only one soup, so the shortage was already known but not mentioned.
You may win awards for decor or menu photos, but the food quality did not match that level.
As a food blogger & a coffee lover, I really like the vibes there!
Their drinks are so refreshing & It feels like home to me !
Try their home made cakes!
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.
Fantastic place! We had a falafel sandwich & a sandwich called Koukou (vegetarian) very tasty & refined. Also the drinks (a smoothie & a cucomber drink with mint) were super. Can only recommend this place, as also the decor & ambiance is very cozy.
Several vegetarian & vegan options, which you hardly find in a Persian cafe/ restaurant. I had the kuku sibzamini, which is one of my favourites of our cuisine. They were definitely different than my mom's but really good. If your mom does them like small little kottles & not so mushy inside, you will find something different here, but still very delicious. Maybe it's also a regional thing I don't know enough about since I was born & raised outside of Iran.
They also have kuku sabzi & some other kukus which they serve on Iranian bread. You will also find shole zard & Persian drinks.
The service is also super friendly & nice to speak to. The cafe itself is very comfy. I wish there were more places like this which represent our culture, & do not only specialise in a pile of rice with kabob.
I had a very nice experience & would definitely come often if I lived here.
