What a beautiful, pleasant surprise in Southdale mall. We came just for the saffron ice cream; was not disappointed. The ice cream was smooth and rich. Each bite was infused with rose, pistachios, and saffron. Not overly floral; just enough to leave a lovely, fragrant taste afterwards.
Hubby had a cortado as a chaser. That, too, was beautifully delicious.
We will be back for sure.

Pretty nice and small pastry shop that makes European and Middle Eastern sweets, with some customization.

Possibly the best baklava I've ever had. Would recommend!

We discovered this wonderful Iranian pastry shop and were absolutely blown away! The saffron ice cream was out of this world super creamy, full of authentic saffron flavor, and loaded with crunchy pistachios. It instantly brought back childhood memories!
We also tried their cream-filled rollets, and they were incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet just the way they should be. You can really tell everything is made with care and high-quality ingredients.
They had a great selection of traditional Persian sweets like naan nokhodchi (chickpea cookies), baklava, and koloocheh all beautifully displayed and smelling amazing. Everything looked homemade and authentic. We’ll definitely be back to try more!
Best of all, the owner herself was there, and she was so kind, warm, and welcoming. She truly made us feel at home. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and freshness of everything.
If you’re craving authentic desserts or ice cream, this place is a hidden gem. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

Would definitely try their sweets again. Especially the Persian ice cream was insanely good!
I am in Brazil and contacted Elham via WhatsApp. I ordered a birthday cake and breakfast for my boyfriend who lives in Minneapolis. Dedication, attention, everything beautiful and delicious. I recommend it, it was made with great care and love by Elham and her husband. Thank you very much for everything.

Cozy place in west metro with an assortment of persian sweets! I would definitely recommend trying her date filled cookie and pistachio Swiss roll! You have to pre order cakes and larger orders but definitely high quality :)

Depth of flavor to baklava I have never tasted before. Delicious.

First time into Luminous Cafe, as it is a bit off the beaten path. The mocha was made perfectly, the baklava was outstanding and the gal working was quite nice. Overall, lovely little spot.
