Ayse was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so helpful. I originally stopped in for their Turkish sparkling mineral water, which is hands down the best sparkling mineral water I've found in Boston. Most sparkling waters give me heartburn, but this one actually helps relieve it! While I was there, I asked Ayse if she had any hidden gem recommendations. She suggested the labneh (pictured) and these cleaning wipes... and can I just say WOW. They have completely replaced my regular cleaning products. I use them all over my house, and I'm a total clean freak! They're made with vinegar instead of harsh chemicals, the strawberry scent smells amazing, and the price is unbelievable. I've already bought packs for my family and friends because I love them that much. And the labneh? It's the best I've ever had. I think I'm on my 25th container at this point. If they ever stop carrying it, I might actually cry. If you're looking for authentic Turkish products, friendly service, and some truly amazing finds, I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely check out this hidden gem--you won't regret it!

If I lived closer, they'd take all my money! There are Turkish sodas, savory yogurt drink and other beverages, chocolates, sweets, cookies, jarred red pepper paste, and all the Turkish essentials you can think of. They even have refrigerated items like beyaz peynir (feta) and sujuk as well as frozen manti and other goodies. Someone who has spent time in Turkey will surly find some products they like, but even if you have no clue about Turkish products, you will surly find something you like. The service is really great. The last time I was there, last week after visiting the delicious Lazuri Cafe a few doors down, the lady working there, Aysha, was great. She was friendly and helpful, making suggestions but no pressure. Offering complementary candies to enjoy. One of her suggestions was a Turkish cleaning product called Cif. I know it and love it and they sell a few varieties there. Check this store out!

There are many similar stores in the neighborhood, but Sevan's service and kindness was exemplary. We highly recommend this location.

For breakfast, I ordered the misto completo breakfast sandwich ($7.99) and a 16oz hot coffee ($3-ish). It was made quickly and on the spot courtesty of a griddle just behind the register. The sandwich had ham, bacon, egg, cheese, lettuce and tomato on a French roll. Portion size seemed decent for a grab-and-go breakfast. I also ordered some savory pastries to go, including a chicken croquette, a fancy corn dog, and a chicken meat pie (each ~$4-5). These individually make for large snacks, or one could eat all of them for a savory but terribly unhealthy meal.

For me the gem was their pastéis de nata. Simply perfection. They were made fresh that morning and to say they were delicious is an understatement. They were divine! The young lady behind the counter was friendly and efficient. She made my day by letting us know that the pastéis de nata had a little cosmetic trouble that morning so it was buy one get one h as of off. Score!!! They looked fine to me and I'm card carrying middle aged Portuguese guy so I feel qualified to opine on the pastries aesthetic. lol I will definitely be back!

Not the best I've had, but definitely good. Price: $15.

Of course I got the cheese bread, then also tried the brazilian donuts (with banana) and the banana cake. The cheese bread was the perfect classic texture and salty.

I will be back for that cake, and next time will even get two! The workers are super friendly, and I am grateful she recommended the banana cake to me! This is a casual cafe with buffet options too, and I was happy to see a couple people there during the day.
