A beautifully decorated Iranian tea place in downtown Montreal, near Concordia campus.
Decor:
The high point of this place is its beautiful inviting decor. Warm string lights and wooden floors, chalkboard menu and vintage furniture. Bookshelves.
Drinks and food:
I've only tried the special tea drinks: ginger & thyme and a mint tea. They come in mason jars and are very tasty.
Hours: open til 10 p.m. Yay! :)
Work-friendly:
There are a few plugs for laptops, wifi is good. The chairs are mostly wooden. During the day, the atmosphere is quiet and work-friendly. There can sometimes be events at night.
Staff and service:
I've had mixed experiences with staff. One time service was super slow and they forgot to bring our order. But other times it was prompt. Again, one time the cashier was pretty unfriendly, but other times staff have been chatty and friendly.
The owner is friendly and involved in the community and likes to host events (ex. readings, Nuit Blanche activities).
You order at the counter, then pay at the end as you leave.
