Wifi does not work. I informed the owner/staff but didn’t attempt to fix the it. The dessert was too sweet for my taste. Turkish coffee was exotic to try but again not to my liking. I really wanted to like this place (ambience. music etc) but turned off by the lack of service. Will not visit again. Go to blue bottle or Starbucks nearby if you want do some work at a coffee shop

Very friendly staff that gave delicious recommendations and gave me a rundown on Turkish coffee for my first time! I'm a huge coffee guy and the Turkish coffee here was pretty good, pastries were great though! There's relatively limited seating but it's also great for some grab and go bites! Will definitely come here again to this semi-hidden gem :)

Love this place! Authentic Turkish coffee served with a nice Turkish delight and a glass of sparkling water. It was perfect! Service was super friendly and the entire place had great energy!

I highly recommend the coffee and dessert here. I had the best Turkish coffee I’ve ever drank in my life at this place. It’s also in a great location in Palo Alto. We got to sit at a table and enjoy our dessert and coffee. My daughter got the matcha latte which was also excellent. And my wife got a smooth black tea with mint.

Cozy spot for a cappuccino. And open until 10 PM which is great for a graveyard shift worker like myself who wants to relax before going to work.

Cortado was cold and not made well. Definitely overhyped.

Good turkish coffee and if ur into turkish delight, its good! The food and coffee ($6) is a little pricey but its downtown so its understandable.

This place is a little (LOT) hard to find as the signage is very small. Its inside Oklava (Turkish restaurant/dessert shop). While we didn't get anything from the restaurant side, the baklava, turkish delights and other sweets looked AMAZING - colorful, precise, delicate... YUM! The latte is robust and strong. The matcha latte was subtle. Similar to other reviewers, the flavor profiles are what they are. If you are looking for strong, depth of flavor coffee, this is fantastic. If you are looking for the same on the matcha, it's less prominent. Very friendly atmosphere and nice service .

Super cute coffee shop with delicious desserts and aromatic coffee. We got a latte and carrot pistachio baklava. I'd say latte was slightly on the stronger side - we liked it. Baklava was also very tasty, it was sweeter than the baklavas I've had in other places. If you're not a fan of sweet, you would want to try something else. But the cafe atmosphere itself was very pleasant.
