The geometry is Persian; the sweetness is the point. A bakery built on tilework patience — saffron, rose, and crushed pistachio.

The sweets case.

A few of the things the counter tends to hold. Photos are stock placeholders — we’d swap in the bakery’s own, and prices are set by the shop.

Golden baklava
Phyllo & honey

Baklava

Layers of phyllo, nuts, and honey syrup — the keeper that travels well.

The colour of the whole shop — floral, golden, made for sharing.

Made to stock up.

Persian sweets keep — honey and syrup are preservatives as much as flavour. That’s why people passing through Vancouver leave with a bag, not a box: a tray bought on a Saturday is still good the next weekend.

“The last and most important errand of the trip.”

And the bread.

Warm Persian flatbread, by the round — the savoury half of the counter.

Flatbread

Soft, blistered, fresh from the oven — best the day it’s baked.

Oven-fresh

Pulled warm through the morning — the smell is half the reason to visit.
