Coffee was pretty good, but it wasn't really "traditional" Turkish coffee. They just poured boiling water over finely ground coffee in the cup they served it in. To charge $3.5 (plus tax + tip) for that is silly. Those who know how to really make a Turkish coffee where cold water and grounds are brought to a boil on a hot surface, know that it takes time and careful attention to make sure it doesn't bubble over, it's not over-extracted, etc. I wouldn't care so much if they didn't have a sign that literally says they make it the traditional way (should have taken a photo to post here). It comes in a nice cup and with a sweet marshmallow-like treat, which is a nice touch. The interior is cool and they have some traditional snacks that are really good. I'd maybe try a drip coffee or something else if I go here again, but I'd skip the "traditional Turkish coffee" unless they start making it properly.

Wonderful coffee for a great price .

Always a pleasure to visit. I adore the vibe, comfortable welcoming atmosphere, and the delicious coffee and food. The only place around to get authentic Turkish gifts, groceries and household goods as well. I've been a regular semi/regular for many years and will continue to be! Lots of love,

Wonderfully Authentic Turkish CoffeeshopBeautifully decorated with Turkish rugs, and travel photos: Kilim serves Turkish coffee and pastries, and some Gluten-free selections.You'll likely encounter at least one group of old men deep in conversation about half in English, which adds to the charm.Excellent service.

Ordered same specialty drink 3 different days from 3 different employees = all tasted exactly the same. That is rare these days!

Tasty coffee served in large portions. We had a cookie that was flavorful and fresh. Parking is not always easy but worth the search.

Delicious Turkish coffee. I got a drip coffee with honey, nutmeg and cream. It was delicious. The cinnamon chip scone was also moist and had a great flavor. My entire order was ~$6. Very affordable and delicious coffee! Staff was kind and the place has a market where you can shop Turkish goods.
Amazing
