I don't typically leave reviews, but given that this has been a recurring experience at this café, I felt it was worth sharing. I have been familiar with this café in Montreal for almost a decade now. The food is consistently delicious, & the drinks are excellent. However, I often find that the service affects my overall experience. The cashiers tend to be cold, & simple requests-such as asking for more sauce on a $17 sandwich (with tips) -are met with resistance or ignored entirely. It feels uncomfortable to be served by staff who seem disengaged or even dismissive. This recurring experience has led me to wonder if all customers are treated this way or if there might be an additional factor, such as race, at play. I hope I am wrong, but it's still unfortunate that these interactions even lead me to consider that possibility.

One of the best café in Montreal. Sometimes very busy & you feel the staff is under pressure.

Aunja, a quaint Iranian restaurant in Montreal, presents an intriguing mix of promising flavors but is unfortunately marred by service & logistical issues. During our recent brunch visit, we ordered an Americana coffee, ginger tea, & a Snowman Kiss. For food, we went with the lentil soup, sausage omelette, & melted cheese omelette. While the food was delicious & rich in flavor, the overall experience left much to be desired. The service & the layout of the place require a major overhaul. Despite reserving a table in advance, we were surprised to learn that we had to pay for our orders upfront before being seated. Worse yet, it took nearly an hour to receive our drinks & an additional hour to finally get our food. There also seemed to be serious operational gaps, with staff frequently stepping out to fetch condiments & supplies from a sister company nearby. This created a disjointed atmosphere, leaving us with the sense that the restaurant was ill-prepared for its customers. All in all, though the food was enjoyable, the long waits & chaotic service took away from the dining experience, leading to a 2 out of 5 stars rating.

Délicieux latté & thé au gingembre avec des petits desserts. Belle ambiance. Définitivement un bon endroit où prendre un café.
