"Two Kurdish doctoral students are behind this buzzy coffee shop, dessert bar, and tea house whose menu extends beyond the standard coffee and espresso drinks to feature Kurdish chai made from a blend of black tea, saffron, rose buds, and cardamom, which can be served in a traditional Kurdish teapot for those sipping on-site. In addition to custom cakes, Muri is filling its pastry display with a rotating selection of desserts including pavlovas, opera cakes, and Paris-Brest." - Candice Woo
