Spiraled barbari
A spiral Persian barbari bread from the shop's pastry collaboration with Artelice and Kouzeh Bakery's Sahar Shomali.
Curator’s note
Rahi Manavi's mother, a composer of Persian classical music, raised him on stories of summer drives from Tehran up to the Caspian coast, where everyone met over tea and coffee, and his family has not set foot in Iran since 1979. Manavi has never visited, so he opened this Venice shop to honor that history, a cafe meant to feel like a living room by the sea he imagines.
The Coffee
The espresso goes into Persian-leaning specialty drinks: a Saffron Latte with golden turmeric cashew milk, a Cardamom Latte, a Pistachio Rose Latte and a Salted Pistachio Cappuccino on house-made pistachio milk and Maldon salt. Persian saffron tea and a matcha with rose hold the tea side of the board, and the espresso tonic runs on Fever Tree with orange zest.

The Vibe
Rahi Manavi, trained as an architect, gave Parisa Parnian two walls of nearly twelve feet each and two requests: the words Woman, Life, Freedom, and a visual bridge between the Caspian Sea and Venice Beach. She painted a sofreh spread beside a paisley surfboard on one and a pop-art Peykan under a bilingual Lös Ángeles on the other, above built-in banquettes faced in terracotta and cream tile that run along the window wall on polished concrete.
