My friend and I stopped in here and tried some Turkish coffee. It was strong and very good, it was full-bodied, medium acidity, and had forward chocolate notes with berry undertones. Highly recommend!
What a wonderful experience!! We stopped for a Turkish coffee, ended up spending an hour exploring the baklava and deserts and Turkish tea.
This is our favorite dessert spot whenever we have dinner on St. Armands Circle! It's hard to choose a favorite from all the delicious treats, but we love the pistachio and rose Turkish Delights!
