We loved that place! I believe it's the best baklava I had so far, and the coffee was amazing, too. I tried milk turkish coffee, and it was spectacular! The staff was very kind and the prices were very good too. I will go again!

Hi my name is Bilal. I was there a few days ago. I had to give you 340 lira and I promised that I would give you cash as I had ran out of cash at the time. I am extremely sorry the next day was my flight and in a hurry I completely forgot. Is there any way I can send you or Zelle you the money. I am extremely sorry. If you don’t see my message then inshallah I will give when I come next time.

Had a delightful time at the Turkish Street Cafe in May 2023! Their Turkish coffee was lovely, and the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. When my friend expressed interest in learning how to play the traditional Turkish game Tavla, one of the staff members kindly played with her, patiently explaining the rules. To top it off, the dessert was absolutely mouthwatering. This is a charming place with a warm atmosphere and fantastic experiences all around!

The owner is warm and welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere. While the shisha is a bit pricey and not particularly exceptional.

We only had tea but the atmosphere is very nice. If you go inside, you will be a bit surprised because you will be like inside a house/kitchen but the owner was fine and kind and offers a lot of things to order. But it is a small place so be ready to have a plan B in case it’s full.
