About Mashti
Mashti is a Persian juice and ice cream bar on Central Lonsdale serving traditional Iranian desserts, nut-heavy shakes, and coffee daily until midnight.
Central Lonsdale evenings often call for something sweet after dinner, and Mashti at 1544 Lonsdale Avenue fills that niche as a Persian juice and ice cream bar. Recognized as the first Iranian juice and ice cream bar in British Columbia, this spot operates daily from 11 a.m. until midnight, making it a practical stop for late-night treats or an afternoon pick-me-up when the North Shore rain drives you indoors. It functions less like a conventional restaurant and more like a dedicated destination for coffee, premium juices, and traditional desserts that are difficult to find elsewhere on the Lower Mainland.
The menu leans heavily into authentic flavours rather than standard cafe fare, featuring items like faloodeh bastani and pistachio shakes known as shir pesteh. Their majoon is particularly distinct, blending ice cream, milk, dates, figs, coconut powder, sesame seeds, cream, rose water, pineapple, walnuts, pistachios, and cashews into a dense shake that differs significantly from a typical smoothie. Saffron and rosewater notes define many offerings here, providing a specific taste of Iranian food culture right on Lonsdale. Have you ever tried a dessert drink that actually serves as a substantial snack? This Central Lonsdale branch offers exactly that kind of unique culinary experience for locals seeking traditional sweets beyond the usual bakery options.
