“Cafe Saffron is a must try in Kings Crossing”

“Beautiful cafe in Kings Crossing! The dirty chai was our favorite and we went there each morning for the 4 days we were there. Hamid (the owner) and his team treated us like family. When my husband had an accident from another establishment spilling hot water on him we walked by the cafe and Hamid saw us and guided us to a proper pharmacy to get medical care. The food and beverages are amazing. We especially enjoyed the sabzi omelette and the avocado toast. If you’re in the area stop by. You won’t regret it!”

“What a beautiful experience!”

“My friend and I stubbled upon this place and was greeted by a very kind man named Hamid. He was so warm and friendly and offered to help us navigate the menu. His service could have easily surpassed the food but the food was absolutely exquisite also! I wish I could return but I found this wonderful and quaint place on my last day.”

Would definitely recommend this little place and Persian food.”

“Tasted just like the ones I had in Iran”

“It was a cute cozy cafe with very nice staff and delicious food. We had the Persian omelette which was an absolute hit and the kookoosabzi that tasted just like the ones I had in Iran. They even had very delicious Sangak here! I will definitely be back. The menu was creative and the vibe was lovely. I really recommend coming here even if it's just for the fragrant teas.”

“This is an absolutely amazing place to go for brunch. We had the Persian omelette which was very nice and the kookoosabzi which tasted really similar to the ones Ihad in Iran. They even had authentic Iranian bread (sangak) which came with their breakfasts. The tea was absolutely gorgeous and it came with a stuffed date that just melted in my mouth. The menu was very creative! They had Saffron and tumeric matcha! And the pastries are half price after 2pm! I will definitely come back. And really recommend this place”

The Persian specialties are fantastic; I was particularly blown away by their ‘Persian Omelette’ a sweet egg omelette with dates and cinnamon, served with sangak naan, their delicious flatbread.
