Absolutely beautiful store, with delicious treats and good Turkish coffee. It’s expensive for sure but worth the money

I can definitely tell a difference as the coffee is a lot stronger than espresso but that makes it amazing. The treats, presentation, and overall atmosphere of the shop is amazing and definitely one of the highlights of visiting San Luis Obsibo. Would definitely recommend!

An authentic Turkish experience in the middle of downtown SLO, the owner was incredibly kind and even provided an extra round of delicious Turkish tea on the house. Highly recommend the Istanbul Pistachio Cake, the baklava is also good. Prices are a bit on the expensive side but the quality and beautiful decor makes up for it.

🌟✨ Lokum – A Sweet Slice of Istanbul in SLO! ✨🌟
Stepping into Lokum on Higuera Street feels like entering a jewel box of flavor and charm 💎🍬. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm aroma of Turkish coffee ☕ and the glimmer of chandeliers that whisper elegance 💫.
🧁 Turkish Delight Heaven Their selection of lokum (Turkish delight) is nothing short of magical pistachio, hazelnut, rose, and even vegan options 🌱. Each bite is a soft, chewy burst of joy that melts on your tongue like a dream 🍥💖.
🥮 Baklava Bliss Don’t skip the baklava whether you go walnut, pistachio, or hazelnut, it’s flaky, rich, and perfectly sweetened. One box won’t be enough… trust me, you’ll be back the next day for more 😋📦.
🎨 Ambiance Goals The decor is stunning think Turkish palace meets cozy café. It’s the kind of place you want to linger, sip your coffee, and pretend you’re on a European getaway 🕌🛋️.
👑 Service Fit for Royalty The staff? Absolutely lovely. They guide you through the flavors with genuine enthusiasm and make you feel like a treasured guest 💁♂️💬.
🎁 Perfect for Gifting Whether you're treating yourself or picking up a box for someone special, Lokum’s packaging is as beautiful as the treats inside 🎀🍫.
📍 Final Verdict If you're in San Luis Obispo and craving something unique, indulgent, and unforgettable Lokum is your spot 💯💝. A must-visit gem that brings Turkish tradition to California with style and soul.

This is absolutely my favorite coffee shop anywhere in the world. Hands down. If you’re looking for your Starbucks frappe-whatever you’re in the wrong place. This is a really legit Turkish coffee house where sharing coffee with someone is a cultural event. Beautifully served. Best paired with a delight or two and a piece of baklava. Honestly it’s an amazing experience. Wonderful food and coffee and great service. I go here every time I’m in SLO.

Finally I had simit in California as the best you can get on the streets in Turkey. Next I'll try the baklava yum

Do not get the pistachio cake. It's just chocolate cake with some pistachios on top. Get something authentic like the baklava or the Turkish delight

I like getting samples and then leaving the store, except the baklava. I usually order those since they don’t have samples.
