Got two slices of honey cake to go and the berries on top turned out to be rotten already as soon as I got home to eat it. Who knows how long they left this in their display? Pretty disgusting and makes me question everything they serve there now.

This place is a gem!
The Balkan kebab and Istanbul platter were absolutely delicious! The bread is so fresh and light and the kebab is so juicy and tasty. The Lahmacun was so good too.
We also had the original baklava and honey cake. Baklava is so crisp, not too sugary with perfect amount of pistachios. If you’re a baklava person you would know!
The honey cake was too good to be true!
Great coffee too.
Everyone is extremely nice.
Portions and prices are great.
Must try and you’ll get hooked!

Delicious and filling breakfast with cucumber, plenty of cheese, eggs, simit and pastırma. Bal kaymak (honey & clotted cream) tasted incredible . Next time I'll share it between 2 people. Great tea & Turkish coffee. Best Turkish delight candies I've ever had (including in Turkey!) because the rose flavor was subtle and natural--not syrupy sweet nor artificial tasting. Beautiful enough to be a gift. Börek was also tasty. I also took home day-old bread (on sale) and it was delicious for my breakfast today. I can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu. Nice staff and overall wonderful place.

LOOOOOVE this place. Lots of veggie options for me and my carnivore spouse loves it too.
The borek is top notch, gotta try it. Their baklava hits the spot and they have all kinds of other sweet treats too. Oh and they'll cook it without oil if you want.
The owner is super sweet. She always has great suggestions and a smile!
We found this little gem a few years ago and go there wherever we're out that way.

Over the last few years this place has become an increasingly popular cafe in my neighborhood, usually busy whenever I pass by it. I decided to check it out recently, and now I understand why! Really authentic and tasty Turkish food, cool environment, and friendly service too. Highly recommend. Will take a while to sample most of their menu, but I will certainly try to. Tough to compete with Arizmendi next door but they definitely are.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff members, and all around delicious food! Watching the women behind the counter work you can tell there is so much care going into the food and overall experience. The burnt rice pudding was amazing too! Never seen that before
Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian options, and plenty to choose from, with a good variety of choices.
