Came to Turkish Coffee House for a proper Turkish breakfast, with the Simit Breakfast Plate and…read morewaffle sticks already on the agenda. Somehow, soup and beef gözleme joined the party. And thank goodness they did, because one of them ended up stealing the entire show. The Simit Breakfast Plate delivered that authentic Turkish breakfast experience. Cheeses, olives, eggs, fresh vegetables, spreads, simit, and enough little bowls to make you wonder whether you ordered breakfast or invited half of Istanbul to the table. Beautifully presented and a lovely way to start. The waffle sticks were good too! Nicely presented with chocolate, nuts, and berries. A sweet addition that definitely earned its place in our original breakfast plan. The soup, however, was a bit of a plot twist. Sweeter than my taste buds expected, and I was hoping for something with a little more depth. Not bad, perfectly decent actually, but let's just say I won't be waking up at night dreaming about it. And then came the BEEF GÖZLEME. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Beautifully grilled, delicious filling, and easily the superstar of the entire experience. The kind of dish that makes the rest of the table look like unpaid extras in its own movie. I'd genuinely come back just for this. The restaurant itself is lovely, with tasteful decor, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that makes you want to take your time. The staff were helpful and accommodated all our requests, which we appreciated. My only little criticism? A few more smiles and a touch of warmth would go a long way. Everything was handled professionally, but hospitality should feel a little less transactional and a little more welcoming. No need to roll out the red carpet, just convince me you're happy I walked in. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with authentic Turkish breakfast, good waffle sticks, a decent soup, and one unforgettable gözleme.

For a moment, I almost forgot I was in Washington. And finally, a café that understands the concept of personal space! Comfortable seating, proper tables, and enough room to enjoy your food without accidentally joining the conversation at the next table. Apparently, that's becoming a luxury these days. We went for the pancake and waffle platter, which looked like someone had gathered every sweet temptation imaginable and decided to throw a party. Mini pancakes, waffles, strawberries, bananas, chocolate and pistachio sauces. Quite the presentation! We also tried the chicken sandwich for a little savory balance, because apparently we needed to convince ourselves this was a proper meal and not a dessert marathon. A special shout-out to the staff, who were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The kind of service that makes the whole experience even better. Overall, Venus Café checks a lot of boxes: nostalgic vibes, lovely atmosphere, spacious seating, and wonderful hospitality. Will I be back? Absolutely. My only concern is that the menu has too many things I want to try, and my stomach hasn't agreed to the expansion plans yet.

Only reason why I lowered my rating is because of what I get when I order DoorDash delivery…read more I only live down the street but sometimes when I'm in my pjs and it's late I just want my dessert to be delivered. So I always order the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup that comes with bananas. If you noticed the ones I've ordered in the past it came with banana. But when I order DoorDash delivery, not only is it not a full cup, but it's missing bananas. Happened three times now. If they stopped adding bananas then that's a different story, but I pay extra when I order delivery, including tip. So I'm expecting to have the same service as when I'm in person. When I'm in person they all have great service, kind people. So I know they work hard, but I'm wondering why it's different for delivery when we pay more. ?

Kitanda bread is Brazilian cheese bread aka Pão de queijo. I enjoyed my coffee break with sweet drink and savory snack. I don't prefer high acidity coffee, so their midsummer dark toasted coffee flavor is good for me!! For sure Kitanda is one of my best coffee place! Can't wait to try another menu!!!

You normally wouldn't expect much from Japanese Crepes at the mall, but this spot has always been a highlight of my visits to southcenter! The menu itself is simple, with many different options for sweet or savory crepes, and recent years have included new ways to customize your order. Staff are always friendly and helpful. They do a great job of explaining the crepe-making process and answering any questions one may have. Regarding the crepes themselves, I think they're fantastic! I always go for a sweet crepe, really anything with strawberries. My goto is usually the strawberry, banana, and ice cream, but during my most recent visit I opted to try the strawberry custard and biscuit option. One thing I love about Unicone is just the crepes are never too sweet in my opinion. Though they're full of whipped cream and other additions, nothing ever feels overwhelming. Unicone is always a reliable dessert shop here in Southcenter, and I'll definitely be making some more trips back!

It was different and yet great. Easy to eat because of the cone shape and no fork or knife needed. There is no dedicated seating while eating but the mall entrance had some benches. The staff was friendly and helpful and the price for portion was really good. A great meal for under 10 dollars.
