BB Cafe

What a gem! This is an unexpectedly great Persian café located within a not at all impressive plaza. The coffee and pastries were great and reasonably priced. They also have a wide selection of dried nuts and exotic ice cream flavours. Most importantly, the staff was very friendly and tried to not make you feel like an outsider (as I am). Great place to chat with friends if you want to try something other than the well known francised cafes.

The best Persian pastry I’ve ever been to in North York area. All the sweets, cakes and etc are very fresh and delicious. Also the. Persian tea and fresh carrot juice are delicious. You want to believe then try all yourself.

I heard about this little Persian café and decided to drop in last night. I got their latte and Napoleon.
I asked the server which dessert was the most popular and she told me to either get the Napoleon or the cake rolls. Napoleon it was! It certainly was a quality Napoleon with rich cream in it but not fantastic and to die for.
It certainty is a cute café with little tables and pastries. I was blown away but I can see why locals would come to this place. The latte also was decent!
Overall, its a cute small café with a tight community. I wish I tried their Persian tea! Next time I will!

This was a great find on Unilocal!Came in from Texas and was craving some Persian tea. The staff was very attentive, the ambiance was quaint, and the desserts were fantastic!

Amazing saffron ice cream and cream puffs. So delicious and fresh. I’m not Iranian but I’ve developed an addiction to their desserts. They have awesome cakes too which are suitable for birthdays. Simply love it!

My first Persian café experience was a good one.
We arrived at BB café around 7:00pm on Sunday and it was packed. Luckily, we got the last seat. Pretty busy with limited seating. You go up and order your food and the server brings you the food/​drinks. You pay at the cashier after you eat.
We ordered cardamom Persian black tea, a cake roll, and a zoolbia. The tea comes in a cute teapot with a tea light on a stand to keep the tea warm. I absolutely love cardamom Persian black tea. I believe you have to ask for this as the standard is a earl grey Persian black tea. The dessert were plated nicely with designs. I enjoyed the tea and cake roll. I found the Zoolbia to be too sweet, but we shared both desserts so the sweetness was manageable.
Just a tip: The seating is limited and lots of people come in wanting a seat so this isn’t a place where you can really lounge around, study at, or have long convos with friends as it gets pretty crowded (at least, on a weekend). I think most people get take out.

Great Persian tea.
So-​so Persian desserts. The ones samples were too sweet, as expected.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for BB café a while ago so here it is! I love their pastries the atmosphere of their café and their staff who are super friendly and always have a big smile on their faces! Last year for my graduation party they made two amazing cakes for me amongst other deserts and Parisa was super helpful and patient with me as I decided on my order! Their service was great and everything went so well! I’m great flu for all their Help and after writing this review think im gonna drop by their bakery!

I like this place!
First of all, they have their own free parking spot.
They have really lovely environment. I visited this place for twice with my girlfriend and she loves it as well. We took the table on the second floor and it was quiet and the perfect place to enjoy conversation.
Their bakery is delicious. I enjoyed with coffee and my girlfriend took green tea. Both beverages were enjoyable as well.
I will for sure visit them again to have a nice weekend tea time.

Never disappoints!
I go there at least once every month. Their pasteries are baked very well. They don’t have a lot of tables so it usually gets packed quickly.

I love this place. their pastries are always fresh. environment is very friendly. they have too many choices which is a good thing for someone picky like me.
Love their cakes and I always order my birthday cakes here.
If you are looking for perfect dessert café I will definitely recommend this place.

A friend and I travelled north to BB café yesterday evening for dessert and coffee. I had the Persian tea and a piece of the Neapolitan (?) with custard. It’s located in the middle of a strip mall which overall makes you feel like you are walking in the middle East. However, the interior of BB café feels like a small uptown lounge. When we arrived the place was empty which was curious but by the end of the evening all the tables were full. Service was friendly and prompt. They have a fairly large display case of cakes and other pastries, it was based on previous reviews that I came upon my decision of what to have that night. And overall, the dessert was delicious.
The Persian tea reminded me of a spiced Earl grey, I can’t confirm this but I feel that one of the sugar cube offerings was brown sugar mixed with saffron. Regardless, melting one of the brown ‘triangles’ into the tea made it so flavorful I could have easily had another pot.
I found the price point very reasonable. And actually bought an additional two pieces which I intend to share with my extended family tomorrow. if you are in the area or looking for a quiet Persian bakery, I would recommend checking this place out. However, I wouldn’t travel out of my way to go there again.

Had a piece of cheesecake and Americano from BB Café. Maybe I had really high expectations? By Yonge and Steeles, it’s in a strip mall with a number of other Iranian joints, including a halal butcher shop and currency exchange. There’s a parking lot on site so you don’t have to worry about where to leave your car. With public transportation, it seems a little inconvenient to get to. Service was excellent; once we were finished, the staff asked us how we enjoyed our desserts. Back to the desserts; I found the cheesecake to be quite dry and a little expensive for what I got. The total came up to just under $ 10 with the cheesecake being $ 6. Anyway, this place is a-​ok; they have a number of desserts (including Iranian treats) along with ice cream and nuts.
Good for: dessert, tea, coffee

Went with a friend to this café to pick up a few pastries and sweets to try. I’m not familiar with many of the sweets, but they all looked so good. Along with the large variety of assorted nuts and munchies, cakes and sweets, they also have these pages of pure fruit made like those fruit to go’s similar to the ones you buy at the grocery store. I tried plum and could taste the difference instantly! So fresh and without preservatives. Everything looked so good, I wouodnt mind visiting again if I’m ever in the area.

My fiancé and I visited during a late evening to get some tea and dessert. We were both impressed by the ambiance and the service. The owner was there that night and was kind enough to take us on a small tour of both the upstairs lounge area and talk to us a little about the history of BB.
The service was fantastic and the pastry was as good as Persian pastries can get. I had the regular (vanilla) rolette and it was delicious! They had a large selection of tea and presented the tea very well. Also, found out they have WIFI so we will definitely spending some time doing work there.
Great place to go on a date, with family or friends for a small bite and tea/​coffee. They play lovely jazz/​eclectic music.

I was in this area, running an errand, so I sorta had to plan my stay in this unfamiliar part of town. When BB Café came up on Unilocal,I knew I had to visit since there aren’t such places in Mississauga!
Starbucks, Tim Horton’s, Second Cup? Yes, tons. Demetre’s? Gross, h.s., but unfortunately, yes. Independent, ethnic cafés that serve desserts? Not so much.
When I stepped in, I was sorta worried that there wouldn’t be a place to sit ’cause most of the tables were occupied. The unoccupied table had no chairs. However, we lucked out ’cause a group decided to vacate.
There was a large-​ish counter with various desserts: cakes, puff pastries, shortbread cookies, as well as an assortment of stuff on top of the counter. The friendly ladies asked if we were doing a take-​out or dining in. We said dining in and they said to have a seat, they’d bring a menu. Eventually, our table was cleaned and menus were brought.
Our group of 3 shared a large pot of Persian Tea ($ 3.99) which tasted like Earl Gray. Large pot was probably more suitable for 2 people X 2 teacups each.
We ordered a Custard Napoleon ($ 3.99) which was perfect for 2ppl. Custard tasted like sweetened butter, so if you wanted something lighter, opt for the cream filled napoleon. Other friend ordered a plate of Zoolbia Bamiyeh (~$ 4).
I don’t know who «borrowed» from whom, but they were reminiscent of an Indian dessert, Jalebi. The Bamiyeh was sorta like a stumpy churro with syrup on it instead of cinnamon/​sugar. I preferred the Persian version of Jalebi ’cause it was finer and not as greasy. Plate was good for sharing, it would probably be a bit much for 1 person.
I found the overall atmosphere very relaxing. Waitstaff was nice and offered to answer any questions. Losta people came in/​out, doing takeout of cake-​sized boxes of stuff. And at the checkout, the male owner (??), asked how everything was, and said that they were opening a larger location at Yonge/​Major Mac.
Would definitely stop by again if I was in the area!
Tip: Even though it’s on Yonge, DON’T worry, there is a private lot for all you drivers!!!

I *loooooveeeee* this café. Their pastries are so fresh. I came here on a Tuesday night, and it was just busy with customers. It has an area to sit and chat with your friend over a cup of tea or coffee. It’s so cozy… the whole place is just cute. I love it. yum yum yum.

This place is great for Persian pastry fans. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly.
They gave us a sample of cake yazdi. They have tons of customers every day, so you can be sure their pastry is fresh! There’s also a variety of honey at the back that you can purchase.

Nice quaint Persian café. It’s a pity that they have so little place to sit. …

BB Café is one of the numerous Persian café in the area, but it is definitely one of the best one for set up.
Airy, clean and with comfortable seating if you do decide to stay in for a cup of tea.
A pot of tea ($ 2.49) on kept warm by a tea candle and a piece of Neapolitan custard cake ($ 3.99) is perfect combination for a leisure afternoon tea experience!
There are numerous other pastries on display which I wish they have descriptions and prices on them. Especially good for customers like me that are not really sure which is which!
If you are not into pastry, there is also Saffron ice cream and Faloodeh to choose from or you can even order both of them just like my friend did!
Service is excellent and friendly. Just order at the counter and have a seat and your yummy dessert would be delivered to your table!
