After spending a decent day being a tourist, and being out and about, we visited this place after…read moredinner for a light snack and beverage. He had more energy than I did. I was a full-time tourist for the entire day and had done a ton of walking. He had got off from work and had a fresh pair of legs to use! I got some tiramisu and a tea. The tiramisu was yummy. It is also my favourite dessert. The tea helped me keep warm for a bit, as the store's door was wide open for a November evening. I was happy to be off my feet. He left his purchased items with me as he continued to shop. He came back an hour later and I felt chilled. My hot tea had run out. I liked being here. I just wish that it were warmer or I had a thicker coat on. (77)

They welcome pups so we take ours and she's always greeted with kisses and love by everyone who works there. Coffee and tea are great, I love the chai tea. They have soy milk which is not always easy to find in Turkish cafes and restaurants. There's a light menu which I'm yet to try but everything is high quality here so I can't wait to try their food. Lots of seating so usually very easy to get a spot. In a street full of cafes this is one of the best. They have an open door policy for the local cats so you might just have a friend to join you on your lap if you fancy a cat cuddle.

I believe this place changed name and possibly owners. The shop front says Turgay Usta instead of…read moreAziz Usta, but their plastic bags still says Aziz Usta! In any case I liked how they set their tables low on the sidewalk, and there were many locals eating there, which is always a good sign. Their personal pizzas are pretty good, the tea very aromatic, Earl Grey like, and the baklava just amazing!

What a lovely place this is!…read more We had spent a lot of time the Grand Bazaar and the surrounds, and while I really wanted to find some Turkish delight and baklava that I enjoyed, I hadn't found anything - and the few that I didn't hate in the Bazaar insisted on selling at least half a kilo. I just wanted a little. So while we were eating kofte nearby, I spied this shop and ran over. They immediately were friendly and helpful and offered me some delicious pomegranate Turkish Delight. And then half a baklava. And then half of a different flavour of baklava. And free tea. I should say that I told them right away I was in a big rush (so I turned down the tea) and that I only wanted to buy a small amount - and it was all fine. I got 4 pieces of baklava and 100 grams of the Turkish Delight for around ₺13. It was heavy - 300gr or so. The baklava was also AMAZING. My husband won't eat baklava and even he scoffed this right down. Other people in our group bought Turkish Delight in the Bazaar and spent ₺90 for 1kg, and they were pre-packaged, sealed boxes. Walk the one block away from the Bazaar, come to this place, and see what you think. I bet you'll be much happier here!

I just bought bread from here today! It was delicious. Sourdough with olives. I can't be more…read morethrilled to have this open in the neighborhood. They have bagels, sweets, croissants, a great homemade bread selection and delicious coffee as well. The bread was so reasonably priced. The olive bread was 6.5 tl. I know I will be stopping in for bread regularly. And nice to see some bagels for sale outside of overpriced TriBeCa. Glad to have this place open! Edit: I am now on day 3 of buying bread. 2 days olive bread. One day French baguette. I don't see an end in sight!

If…read moreyou are lucky, you will find a "golden Ticket" inside your bar, which means that you have won a trip to Kapdokya :-)))! So give it a try! We have ordered the "yaz bahcesi" (summer garden), it is a chocolate egg filled with fruits, brownies, ice cream and on top of that you can put hot chocolate too. I would definitely come here again. Service was very friendly. The cafe is very small but cozy.
