ChaiBar Cafe

Chay Bar Café & Restaurant is a truly charming place with beautiful garden seating and a relaxing atmosphere. The food quality is great, and their breakfast is especially outstanding — fresh, tasty, and beautifully served. One thing to note is that there are cats around, which some guests may find adorable, while others might not enjoy. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for a peaceful meal in nature.

This café has been around for over 20 years and is something of an icon—located within the campus of the Iranian Calligraphers’ Institute (انجمن خوشنویسان ایران). It’s tucked away in a beautiful garden and housed in the historic خانه علم (House of Alam), who was the head of the دربار (Royal Court) under the former Shah of Iran. The café serves a decent breakfast. I’ve been there many times and highly recommend it—especially for its peaceful outdoor seating and above-average food. That said, the service can be a bit slow, and if it gets crowded, you may have to wait for a table. Still, the setting and atmosphere make it well worth the visit.

Nice open patio with big umbrellas, great for sunny mornings. You get that fresh coffee smell right away, though a few tables wobble a bit. The veggie sandwich was tasty, but the chips could’ve been fresher. Noticed they’ve moved the tables around since last time — feels easier to walk through now.

Very well-written menu, traditional signature with modern presentation. You should try Lahijan tea! The cafe is located in a corner of a great garden, fully shaded, with a fresh breeze in Northern region of Tehran. We tried Date and egg omelette and Spinach and egg omelette, yummy!

The garden is spectacularly beautiful. There's seats both inside the building and outside in the garden. The breakfast is being served until 12:00. The staff are polite and welcoming. The Cafe is owfully crowded in weekends and it's hard to find a parking place around. While it shares the garden with Association of Calligraphers there is a separate entrance door for the Cafe for easier access.

Everything was good, very pleasant atmosphere and good quality of service and food. I just think it is better for the waiters to greet the customers with a smile

Its amazing location in a beautiful garden, price is reasonable but foods are totally simple and nothing to surprise you. One of the staff was smocking just next to us.

The ambiance here is the main attraction. It’s incredibly beautiful, especially during rainy or springtime. The food quality isn’t particularly good, except for the teas, which come in a wide variety. Be prepared for long waits.
