Botté Persian Cafe - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

During my trip to Saskatoon, I visited this Iranian cafe-restaurant. I fell in love with their tea and pastries. And let's not forget the nostalgic taste of their food and the beautiful ambiance. If you're there, definitely give it a try.

Have spent so many Friday nights (and some Saturdays) drinking tea and eating dessert here! So glad there’s a great spot for late night socializing that isn’t a bar/lounge. The patio with heaters is a great spot to chill and chat. The inside is a cool Persian vibe to the decor. The stews and kabobs are so delicious! Most of the desserts I’ve tried are equally delicious! There was a coconut dish that wasn’t to my taste, but there are always so many options! The bottomless Persian tea, as well as most of the other teas I’ve tried are so unique and a perfect way to unwind after a busy week. The place is also very lively — love the people watching and vibe! Excellent service!

They are one of my favourite cafes to go to in Saskatoon because they have late hours so I’m able to study from evening to closing (and they have a very tasty tea menu! ?).

I’ve only been a few times and mainly tried their teas but at my last visit, I tried one of their dishes and it incredible! My first taste at Persian cuisine and I loved it ?

I got the Chicken & Eggplant (khoresh badenjan). It’s braised chicken and roasted eggplant in tomato sauce on a bed of rice ? the chicken was oh so tender and eggplants were so soft ? the tomato sauce had a hint of spice that I can’t quite put my words to describe it! All that on rice made it the perfect meal for me ? I devoured as much as I could with some leftover (the sprouts mainly - not a fan of those ?).

For drinks, I was there for quite a while so I got to try their coconut matcha latté ? and lemon green detox ? I loved both, however, when I ordered, out of habit I asked for oat milk - not thinking if it’s already made with coconut milk or dairy milk ‍♀️ either way it was delish - it still had strong coconut flavour! Except I paid $0.50 extra for the oat milk so came out to $7+ after tax…seems a bit too much for a small cup.

For the tea, it came out in a big pot and on a beautiful coaster! I mean it didn’t affect the taste but it was nice able to refill my tea from the big pot and the coaster was just a pretty visual ?

On one of my previous visits, I tried their Paradise Persian Iced Tea - definitely a fav and one of their desserts. I think it was their tiramisu but regardless - it was rich and creamy and amazing ?

Oh and their service again I was there for a long time so I find the later afternoon/evening staff was incredible! The owner (I think) and the staff came to check on me and ensured that they can get me hot water refill when I need it.

Overall, definitely one of my favs cafe to go to for study time and would go back to enjoy some desserts and tea ?.

The beef and potato Kotlet wrap, pomegranate tea, and pistachio cake were delicious. I wish the wrap had more spices in it but it was still tasty. Unfortunately, the baklava was terrible. I am sad that I paid eight dollars for it. Don’t buy it. I guess I’d come here again, but the fact is I have a Persian friend who makes better food so I’ll stick to eating at her house.

Fantastic dessert here, coffee's are good too. Nice little cafe inside and a quaint outdoor area where we decided to sit. The location is tucked in behind some shops so you have to walk down an alley to get to the entry.

The coffee shop is ok and I visited this place many times. They open late, which is a refresher for Saskatoon. During the day, it lacks natural light, though the decorations are nice. The outside seatings are nice in the summer. The dessert, though looks appealing, they are ok in taste. They look better than what they taste.

Thier Persian tea is a far cry from such a tea that I tasted at the homes of many iranian friends over the years and in Persian restaurants across the country. It is, unfortunately, more like a flavored tea drink.

There are a couple of vegetarian options on the menu, and they are decent in taste. Not a bad spot to catch up with a friend in the evening.

Fantastic service and food. Everything you could want from a café, great place for a date.
