The title says, "Prepare to be surprised at ho"?

He also makes the soups: lentil, vegetable/bean and Persian. Is Persian an ingredient? Or it means the soup is Persian? Or Persian is the name of another soup?

It says, "Wisdom is knowing what to overlook." And then in the title I read "Sandwiched between a barber and a computer repair shop, the Sufi Coffee Shop is hard to spot unless you're looking for it." I wonder if there is any relation?

It says first "Rasti's order is Persian, accepts all religions and does not seek converts." And then a few paragraphs later, "But Rasti's Sufi master decided that turn-of-the-millennium Silicon Valley needed a taste of Sufi values — community, kindness, altruism — and that Rasti was the one to do it." If I accept those values, then am I not sort of a convert or a partial-convert?

Thanks for the article. I have never been to this place, but it piqued my interest enough to go to Yelp and read some amusing comments/stories about this place. [Web Link

One sign says, "We are not a corporate entity. Please try to walk in our Moccasins and justify your being here and be fair." Another, "Please refrain from going to big toilet. Thank you." There are sneaked-out pictures of more signs here: [Web Link
