Had the Turkish coffee and biscotti to go! Enjoyed the unique flavor of the coffee. I wish dine in was open, as it had a very cozy and inviting ambiance.

Definitely coming back here. A cozy vibe and definitely a great place to kick back and relax, get work done or play a board game or two in this chill lowkey-feeling coffee shop. The Turkish coffee lives up to the hype, and the barista was super friendly! Love this spot.

If you wanna try Turkish coffee, this is probably the best place in the town! It's not a big place but it's cozy and enough for enjoying your coffee. And also they have Turkish desserts so it's very nice opportunity if you wanna try thier culture.

Friendly interior , lots of drink & treat selection.
Ive been here a few times now and I have a few observations . Great espresso , limited but tasty tea selection, nice atmosphere /tends to get too crowded and too busy , pre packaged or premade desserts ( although most cafes do this )
It isnt as cozy as others have indicated , its mainly open space and gets crowded and noisy. There is a shared table , individual tables as well as couch seats and tables near the front . Pretty standard , nice cafe - would recommend supporting your local cafes .. but it youre looking for something

This elegant cafe is truly a marvel to visit. The coffee and sweets are exceptional. There is a struggle to find seats, but uet the mood is quiet. The front of the cafe was cold while the back was very warm. Air circulation was an issue. Bit on the pricy side, but well worth the visit. For parking try the side streets or back of the building.

A nice and cozy cafe with decent tea and coffees and tasty snacks! usually a bit crowded and sometimes hard to find a sit! they have enough plugs which makes it easy to work there, however they have a note which encourages you not to stay there more than 2 hours! I've been there multiple times and liked almost everything except a few minor things, for example this time it was a bit cold inside! Also their automatic soap dispenser in their washroom wasn't working properly!
finally, they have backgammon and chess if you wanna play some games and a good variety of books (some of them Turkish!) if
