Very fresh and tasty Simits. The taste of tea brought me to Istanbul. Recommended

Visited at lunchtime on a Monday. Small place so there was limited seating, yet, the place was not fully occupied so it was good. There is more seating in the food court outside just in case. The server was friendly and efficient and I was quickly served my coffee. The coffee was good and reasonably priced for downtown. I noticed that they do Turkish coffee and the sandwiches on offer appear very popular.

This place has the best baklava in downtown Toronto! I believe its made fresh every day, and it really makes for a great taste!

Very quaint cute coffee shop with delicious food and very friendly service. Had the Turkish egg dish menemen which was freshly cooked to order and served in a traditional copper pan, with tea.

I had turkish coffee and some baked goods. They tasted good and reasonably priced. Staff were nice. Located inside the Atrium.
However, the place could use more tidying up. I went twice and the tables weren't being cleaned and the it wasn't busy at all.

I love this place. I’ve tried quite a few things and all of them were delicious but their bocconcini sandwich and chocolate chip cookies are my favourite. Everything is always fresh and the staff are so friendly.
Vegetarian options: They have a vegan simit (like a Turkish bagel) with avocado and hummus and two vegetarian sandwich options - the Parisian which has brie, lettuce and tomato and Bocconcini which has bocconcini cheese, pesto and tomato (It’s amazing!)

We were looking for a breakfast place to pass the time while a family member had a medical procedure, and decided to try something beyond the usual breakfast chains that are all around now. So glad we stumbled on this small cafe, on the lower level of the Atriums.As we’d started our day quite early we were looking for something substantial, and the Turkish breakfast fit the bill. It is meant to serve two, and came with two simits (similar to a bagel), a dish of menemen (scrambled egg in a tomato/pepper/onion sauce, with sausage), and a platter of spreads and toppings. We subbed coffee for the included tea.It was our first time having Turkish breakfast so I don’t have a baseline to compare it to, but we enjoyed it quite a bit. The simits were fresh and the variety of toppings really made this meal.There is limited dine-in space, but most folks were just grabbing coffee and pastry to go, so that wasn’t a problem. I saw a review from a few months ago noting that it was quite dark—perhaps they have improved the lighting since, because it was plenty bright on our visit.We took a few pastries to go for later in the day. The pear and almond tart was a favourite, and the chocolate-walnut cookie was delicious too. The almond croissant was tasty but not the best I’ve had. Do note, if it is a concern for you, that most of the pastries contain nuts, and they are all in a shared bakery case. This was not an issue for our party but someone with a nut allergy might not find much here they could sample.The lunch sandwich menu sounded amazing, and if we’re in the area again we would return midday to try that!

As someone who is always hopping from different cafes on a regular basis, I can say this is probably the best service I’ve ever experienced at a cafe. The staff are extremely friendly and patient with you and work hard to create a good vibe.The cafe has many Turkish options like Turkish coffee and tea along with some other menu items.This is a hidden gem. Highly recommendedAs a bonus, the owner is also extremely nice.I will definitely be coming back!!

Came for moms menemen breakfast (eggs, tomato, feta, peppers, onions, sujuk, with tea and a Turkish bagel). The worker kindly swapped the bagel for a pistachio cookie (delish! Good pistachio flavour). However, there was no sujuk on my menemen :(

We had a very poor experience. I ordered a tuna poke bowl, and the server brought it out without many main ingredients. It was missing hard boiled egg, avocado, massago, and some other components. They didn’t even apologize when I pointed it out, and no substitute was offered. I would strongly advise against visiting the place! Beware!
