Solid little cafe with classic coffee & tea menu and a small variety of pastries, including savory meat pies- I tried the Burek with beef filling (with my chai). The barista offered a red pepper sauce which was really good with the Burek and best enjoyed “for here.” Other savory pastry options were cheese and spanokopita.Bathroom was clean and service was friendly. Will return next time I’m in the area!

Stopped here on way to zoo to get an iced coffee. The guy working there was really nice, i only drink decaf so was worried if they'd be able to make the drink i wanted with decaf but it came out great and quickly and he was super accommodating which i appreciated. my boyfriend is a fan of foreign grocery stores so he was happy he came in instead of waiting in the car and he appreciated looking through the dry goods they had for sale. we ended up getting a tin of salmon to eat with crackers while we were at the zoo which was a perfect snack for the occasion. we go to the zoo often and will definitely start coming here beforehand more.

I am from Eastern Europe originally and I love this place - it's a little taste of home. The owner of the place is so friendly and welcoming, pitas are always fresh and delicious, coffee is as good as it should be and there are so many cool snacks and drinks from the old country to pick up. Can't wait to go back!

The person taking our order didn't listen to our requests. Forgets to add ingredients to a simple drink, wrung us up without giving us our food. The coffee also had clumps of grounds in it. Cute interior, though, and the cashier was friendly, just not attentive.

LAVAZZA COFFEE AND TURKISH SWEETS (4 stars) - FOOD: Turkish treats - PRICE: decent - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: sidewalk tables My dog had a groom appointment next door. I felt the need to be next door because my dog is a drama queen. This place was perfect to kill an hour to get a drink and a snack. (And people watch). The only place to sit are the table seats posted on the sidewalk. Cute vibes, felt like I was at a cafe in a different country lol. VANILLA LATTE - Haven't had Lavazza Coffee beans in many years. We all know Italian coffee beans are special and Lavazza to me is the basic of Italian coffee beans - in my opinion. The average joe. I have no complaints, my vanilla latte was yummy and smooth. RECOMMEND TULUMBA - never had this before. It's Turkish Fried dough. It looks like a smash of of a glazed donut and a sugarless churro. How did it taste? Like a glazed donut but sweeter and stickier and the inside is kind of dense. I have a sweet tooth and for me to say it was "sweet" should speak volumes. It pairs nicely with a hot beverage. Until the next review...
