Ayoub’s is a specialty Vancouver based company offering nuts, dried fruits, spices, tea, and more. It started off with a store in Little-Iran or better known as Londsdale street, however, due to great success has now expanded downtown with its beautifuly designed store on Denman street. Ayoub’s interior takes me back to the motherland with its crystal chandeliers, marble, and persian style trimmed out cabinetry and displays. The nuts and dried fruits are presented in beautiful silver standing bowls which I was told was brought from Iran.
If you are a lover of saffron (and lets face it who isnt?) then try their high quality Iranian saffron offered in various sizes. If you want sweets, make sure to also try some of the persian sweets including gaz, koloocheh and sohan which line the walls.

However, I’m sure there is a reason there are long line ups on the weekends. I guess if you are looking for an average breakfast for reasonable prices in this area then its a reasonable spot…other than that it beats me.
