Cyrus Artlounge is probably my favourite cafe on Lygon Street! The staff are very nice and helpful, the coffee is some of the best I've had, and the atmosphere was super cool. I enjoyed the artsiness of the place. Highly recommend.

I had Jasmine & Rose tea (Jasmine, Rose petals, Lavender, Orange blossom). It was exactly my kind of flavor, with a wonderful aroma that made me feel truly happy. The tea was served in a beautiful pot, adding a special touch to the experience. There were various tea options available, and the staff kindly explained them in detail. Of course, they also offer coffee and a variety of food options. The interior was lovely, with artwork displayed throughout the space, creating a relaxing atmosphere. There is also an art gallery on upstairs. It was my first visit, and the friendly staff gave me such a warm welcome. They even offer student discounts, which I found thoughtful. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely artsy café with a small gallery embedded within. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. The coffee is good, though I was disappointed that there was no latte art. It is a cozy space for some good reading time before it gets crowded

Lovely assortment of teas served in gorgeous and whimsical teapots. I had a Persian spiced black tea that was just the right balance of depth and flavour. the assortment of comfortable vintage furniture and art adorning the walls makes for a wonderful character to the place, perfect for a quiet catch up, reading or working. Would love if they had some gluten free food in future will definitely be back to try the coffee.

I love this cafe so much. The vibe is so good and there is a small art gallery upstairs that changes every month. It’s super casual and laid back and the staff are wonderful to chat to. They make everyone feel like family. I tried a spinach borek and it was amazing. The middle eastern sweets are also really good, e.g. the koloocha cookies. I highly recommend this cafe!

Cute, cosy spot on Lygon. I think some of the staff were new so service was a little stilted but everyone was friendly and the order arrived pretty quickly. The filo feta and spinach pastry was pretty tasty, as was the Persian spiced tea.
