This business is a labor of love, explaining why I LOOOOVE IT. So much thought has been invested into everything from the drinks and food (some of it is prepared on-site, others outsourced) to the decor and furnishings. It's so NYC or SF. Friendly staff seems lonely on the weekends, but I hear the crowds can't stay away during the week. Show 'em some love... because the music as well as the selection of magazines is awwwesome! Thanks, Young, for your reference to my preference for Turkish architecture mags. I never hesitate to bring my closest bon amie to Ankara's best kept secret.

When you go to a cafe, you are looking for two things 1. Good coffee 2. Environment…read more Now the coffee here is pretty standard. I ordered the Chai Tea latte and it wasn't as sweet as I wanted it to be (maybe spoiled by Starbucks) but it was still refreshing enough. But the ambiance here is so NYC. It's quiet, there's some lovely jazz playing from the speakers, and if you're feeling sophisticated, you can scour through their wide collection of GQ and Esquire along with some spiffy Turkish architecture magazines. It's the perfect place to bring a small party of friends who want to lounge and chit chat or take your lady friend if you want to leave an impression on her.

Bonapple is located in the Tunalı area and is a quaint cafe that boasts daily homemade cakes. The…read morecafe is rather small, but during the warm months it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. It feels very intimate and comfy, perfect for a date with your partner or your group of friends! They usually have 6-8 different homemade cakes everyday. So far, I have tried the Forest Cake, Caramel Banana Pie, and the Carrot Cake. All were fresh and tasty. My favorite so far is the Carrot cake. It really tasted like fall. They also have a great selection of hot beverages. Their cappuccino and americano are some of the best in Ankara. The çay is lovely too! The service is very lovely. Every time I've visited, there have been female wait staff who are so kind and make sure that you have enough coffee or çay. I highly recommend a visit! They truly have the best cakes in Ankara.

It is in a…read moreconverted house and not terribly well marked, but situated right next to the Starbucks it was easy to find. I had a very pleasant lunch there. The food offerings are kind of international eclectic, rather than Turkish. That is, it is mostly pasta, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. The dishes we ordered were very good and portions were ample! My fettuccine with chicken & spinach was perfectly done. The staff was very friendly and English was no problem. Don't miss the mounds of Turkish Delight as you leave. Better than an after dinner mint!

I stumbled into this restaurant after a grueling flight to Ankara. Hungry and tired I expected a quick sub-par meal. What I got was an enchanting, warm experience with absolutely delicious food. I wish this oasis was in Amsterdam - I'd be here regularly. I can't wait to go back and watch the time slip away while I eat yummy food and take in the environment.

Located in front of the restaurant, the garden is indeed large and like a sanctuary with its canopied tables and cozy seats. Lots of plants / trees and a fish-inhabited fountain make it charming. The street slopes upward so walls afford guests some privacy. I can't recall the food we actually ate because my friend and I were so disappointed that we were denied our first and second preferences. The waitstaff didn't even offer any concessions to compensate for the big let-down. :( not cool! Good thing my companion is a higher priority than food, drink or ambiance in my memory book!
