Very nice place for breakfast and staff are friendly. First time to try byrek and order the savory one with beef spinach and tomato. It’s delicious but I think it’s better if it’s serve warm. Love the mascarpone pistachio cake.

I only got one dish but I thought it was solid, good taste and reasonable price. Nothing fancy but just a straight up tasty bacon breakfast sandwich. I asked for it to come in a baguette though instead of the bread and it was perfect. It’s big enough for two to share in my opinion. I would go back to try other items or honestly just to get what I got last time.

Freshly baked börek is absolutely delicious, and it holds great significance for Turks living abroad. More varieties could be added, like börek with cheddar cheese and leeks, or eggplant and ground beef. Lastly, a börek with labneh cheese would be legendary. It’s available in Turkey and tastes amazing.

Reaaaallly loved this place. Great food with great prices. I got the honey ham baguette sandwich and it was perfect. Really a delicious blend of the ingredients. The bread was warm and delicious. The apricot spread on the sandwich was delightful. I was kind of caught off guard by how great this sandwich was. My boyfriend ordered the bacon scramble but asked for cheddar cheese instead of the regular and really enjoyed his meal. The potatoes that came with it also particularly impressed. He said the toast wasn't that great but everything else he really enjoyed. We also split a piece of their Nutella cheesecake which was delicious. It was very rich and chocolatey so prepare to be maybe a little overwhelmed by the depth of the chocolate :P The one true negative was the coffee. Apparently the amaretto didn't live up to my boyfriend's sweet tooth standards so depending on what you like it may be perfect for you if you don't need your coffee to be sweet. The coffee looked really cute. Staff were great and their bathroom was clean. Ambiance was great. Loved their aesthetic. I already want to go back for more.

The cashier is so wonderful, warm and kind. I noticed that nearly every person who walked in was a regular, and would speak at length with her, updating her on their lives, and she was full of kind things to say. And the food is so delicious - I tried a Byrek for the first time and the pastry was delicious, delicate, crispy but with excellent layering. And the feta and spinach inside, and sour cream sauce were hearty, warming and filling. I just want to finish my spiel by saying even the ambiance is so inviting, draped in plants, warm lighting, copious open tables, and the fact it stays open so late makes it the perfect respite.

I’ve been eating here for years and I have yet to find something on the menu I didn’t like. They have the BEST fries on the hill. The ingredients are always fresh. The deserts are adorable and the staff is so kind and friendly. Some of my faves: pistachio baklava, chicken apple salad, the fig jam & prosciutto baguette, and yes the FRIES! Today I finally tried the chicken soup. I didn’t see a photo or description so I was hesitant to order, but it’s hitting the spot. It’s kinda like a vegetable stew but with generous chunks of chicken. It came with little buttered toasts for dipping. It also has carrot, onion, garlic and potato pieces. So tasty! This was the perfect remedy for a rainy day. :)

Was very delicious. You order at the counter, menu is up on the wall, they bring you the food but you bus your own table. Baby friendly, brought car seat in and had enough space for that. Restaurant was clean and a good bit of seating available. I think they had two restrooms. Had lentil soup, chicken artichoke sandwich. Very nice food. Worth the price.

Amazing! Food felt like a warm hug… was perfect
