“ Stumbled upon it on a rainy morning. It was completely empty. The pastry displays caught my eye. The atmosphere and ambience were 10/10. The staff so kind and attentive. The croissant was one of the best I’ve had in Istanbul. The carrot cake was a little dense but delicious nonetheless. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend ”
“ It was so amazing and the staff working there they were outstanding thanks you so very much ”
“ I love this place. Whenever I’m in the neighborhood or I have a tourist friend in town I take them here. They have great turkish breakfast options and also great pastries. The staff is always kind and attentive and their coffee is so good! The only downside is the place itself is very small and so are the tables. It’s best if you come with only a friend or two. Though they do have bigger tables on the inside. Being a non-smoker I could add that the fact that you can smoke outside in the tiny area would be another downside for me as it doesn’t really get a lot of wind. Anyways, all in all, great place. Get super crowded on the weekends. ”
“ Veery nice croissant , the staff speaks English and very friendly ”
“ I would like to talk about this beautiful place. They have a wide variety of healthy and normal cakes and desserts. The presentation is beautiful, and there is a wide variety. The staff are friendly and the one who helped us was the best!! But unfortunately, even the prices are high, they charged us 30 TL as a service charge! You could find tasty desserts and pastries with high-quality and affordable prices in the same neighbourhood. ”
