Beyond Café is the ultimate destination for those times when you wish you could step into a time machine and, for a brief moment, be transported into another time and place. You can just sit back on your cute antique sofa and enjoy a hot beverage from a dainty vintage tea cup.
The icing on the cake of the whole thing? Beyond Café is incredibly reasonably priced considering the quality of the food and the presentation, and even just the awesome decor of the place makes it all extremely worth a visit.
They even serve high tea — if you know who to ask.
For their bespoke high tea experience, you'll have to email them to reserve. The set menu is vegetarian-friendly and includes sandwiches, pastries and jams, fruits and, of course, tea. It starts at $75.50 for two people.
If you're looking to order à la carte, Beyond Café has a menu as extensive as it is delicious. There are over a hundred selections, and that's just the drinks! Between the delicious lattes, chilling frappes, entire teapots of tea, refreshing iced tea, juice, traditional Persian beverages, milkshakes, coffees and espresso drinks — you get the point — you'll for sure be able to find something perfectly tailored to you.
One of their most iconic drinks is their Biscoff milkshake, which is exactly what it sounds like. Topped off with a Biscoff cookie, it's as if they took the iconic tea biscuit and completely transformed it into a milkshake. It's a perfect beverage to sip on while curled up in one of their beautiful antique sofas or chairs, surrounded by your closest friends.
If you're looking for something lighter, whole teapots are available when you feel like keeping your pinkies in the air. After all, who doesn't love a tea party? It's also perfect for a romantic coffee date, with a teapot for two ranging from $11.35 to $14.75.
It's quite possible that while you're sipping away one of their many masterfully crafted drinks and taking in the snug atmosphere, you'll develop quite an appetite. Rest assured there's no reason to leave this hidden gem with an empty stomach!
If you're somebody who loves everything breakfast, you've come to the right place. Beyond Café offers full-on breakfast dishes, such as their Shaksuta Feta with Avocado Salad, which makes for an excellent start to the day.
If you're not a "whole meal for breakfast" kind of guy, no problem at all because plenty of "smaller" breakfast items are available such as avocado toast with bacon and eggs — a true breakfast classic!
There are also plenty of lunch options, such as their sandwich menu, which is filled with authentic Persian options. For example, their Persian Kuku Sandwich has a patty of potato, egg, cherry tomatoes and plenty of yummy spices. Whether you're coming around for breakfast, lunch or even just a mid-day snack, you'll definitely find something that catches your eye.
Beyond Café is an example of a true capital hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ottawa. It's a perfect opportunity to achieve your childhood fantasy of having a cute little tea party with your friends without the hassle of setting the whole thing up yourself.
Instead, all you need to do is head over to Beyond Café and order a pot of tea, and the rest will be history!
