Since I was ordering from almost 300 miles away, I wasn't exactly sure what to choose, but the owner made the whole process so easy. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and patient over the phone. She walked me through all the different desserts, helped put together the perfect box, and even sent me videos of everything before the courier picked it up. That thoughtful touch meant so much and gave me so much confidence in what I was sending. The desserts themselves were absolutely amazing. They looked beautiful and elegant, and somehow tasted even better than they looked. My cousin loved them. What stood out most was the hospitality. The owner made me feel like family, speaking with so much warmth and kindness the entire time. You can tell she really puts her heart into what she does. I'm so grateful and would absolutely recommend this bakery to anyone looking for beautiful, delicious Persian desserts. She even gave a few sweets to the courier as well

From the start, you're welcomed with the fresh scent of baked bread, fresh pastries, and coffee. I ordered the Ronnie on rye and my husband ordered the eggs Benedict. We also ordered a half sweet vanilla latte and a caramel macchiato. Everything was delicious! My sandwich was, honestly, heaven. It was such a delicious twist on a breakfast item to have a hot pastrami sandwich with egg, cheese, hash brown, and extra Dijon. Being pregnant, this was perfect. I tried my husband's eggs Benedict and it was delicious, as well. The bun was so soft and fluffy and created a great base for the dish. Finally, the coffees were nicely balanced and my half sweet vanilla latte had just the right amount of flavor. This cafe is bustling for good reason! Almost every table was full and there were plenty of people inside ready for to-go orders. But, it didn't feel overwhelming and remained welcoming. There's plenty of seating outside so dont be deterred! All of the staff were working hard and were very polite. Can't wait to go back!
