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.
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.
Been wanting to check this place or for awhile. It's so nice. Great atmosphere inside. It's really cozy, vibey & intimate. Saw some people studying, couples in a lunch date, & solo eaters... so people of all kinds. I ordered the tuna sandwich & it was very fresh & delicious. It is a bit pricey enough $20. They also have teas & desserts so good place for this.

Amazing food & tea! I enjoyed a delicious rice pudding with my Persian Fog. Ideal place to relax after a visit at the MBAM, cozy relaxed atmosphere & friendly service.
A nice & cute spot. We came for a late brunch & shared two drinks & plates for two; the food is good, the drinks are great.
An interesting menu with unexpected beverages, both hot & cold. Personal highlight: the Persian Paradise, a drink featuring saffron, orange blossom, & basil seeds, which is surprising (in a good way) in both taste & texture. Many other teas, smoothies, & milkshakes I'd love to try.
Only minor drawback: you order & pay at the counter, though the food is brought to your table. The ambiance is pleasant, the decor is great, & the staff is nice. Would come back.
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.
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.😊
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.
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.
