Persian Cafe in Park Slope With Saffron and Rose Water Bakes
Sip floral teas with saffron pastries at a Persian cafe in Park Slope that also serves savory breakfast and lunch.
🫖 Persian Pastries and Tea
Saffron, cardamom and rose water perfume the counter at Sofreh Cafe, a Persian cafe in Park Slope where floral spiced teas meet delicate pastries. It is the sister spot to chef Nasim Alikhani's restaurant Sofreh, and her hand-baked treats put a twist on classic recipes.
Pistachio runs through many of the bakes, and the case includes vegan-friendly pastries and specialty latifeh for anyone planning a sweet tea break. Savory breakfast and lunch plates round out the menu when a pastry alone will not carry you to dinner. The seasons shape the rest. Warm weather brings saffron and golab frozen yogurt, while winter mornings call for bowls of Ash and Halim.
Find the cafe at 216 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. It opens Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM and on weekends from 9 AM to 6 PM, an easy breakfast stop before a Park Slope morning gets going.
