One of the most unique spots around!
This cafe has a great vibe — not traditionally cozy, but definitely full of energy and personality. The atmosphere is very vibe-y in the best way. The staff genuinely try their best to deliver great service, and that effort shows. What really makes this place stand out is the crowd — such an interesting mix of people, full of character and charm.
I used to travel a long way to come here, and now that I live nearby, I’m really happy I can just walk over. My go-to order is a cup of latte and a salmon bagel — my favorite comfort combo.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for something real, welcoming, and just a bit different from the usual.

Afghani cafe named after the Persian poet. Friendly owner and staff, wonderful food. Homemade hummus, genuine bagels, pink chai. Excellent vegetarian wrap. Good gyros and breakfast sandwiches. Quality coffee and mint tea. A great go-to spot.
The place smelled delicious and the decor/theming was very cute! It was filled with families, people playing a board game, and good vibes. The pink tea lattes were yummy and so was the dervish latte. We were also very happy to see that they had gluten free pita and ordered a gyro bowl, which was very tasty!
The only thing that I noticed that wasn’t absolutely perfect was that the large wooden table was sticky. It was NOT dirty at all, the finish is just degrading from frequent cleaning/disinfecting. It’s a sign of proper cleanliness. I hope they choose to strip and refinish the table and not just replace it, I liked the look and shape of the natural wood!
I really liked the place and will be coming back!
I was passing through from the Bay Area and needed a place to kill some time due to terrible traffic conditions. The service I received was truly top notch. The atmosphere was nice and calm. The food was absolutely fantastic. The morrocon Tea was the best thing I’ve had since I was 10 at my grandparents house!!
Stopped here on our way out of the city (was near our Airbnb) and really enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches. A little disappointed in the Thai tea and my missed order of an iced vanilla latte, then a warm one was put over ice that was served to be warm. Overall would come again for the food .

Decided to try the breakfast muffin it was nasty flavor, took a bite end up in the trash after waiting 13 minutes in an empty place I thought service will be faster . So much for trying new places
The Dervish and Turkish latte is amazing!
