We were pleasantly surprised that at the back of the restaurant that looks pretty typical. They have a huge, beautiful garden where you can have parties and post large gatherings. it is covered by trees very cool and inviting. Also, the pastries that we got were really good and the waiter was really friendly. They also have a full kitchen that serves typical traditional Turkish food.

Many years ago my friend gave me some baklava from this store, I was hooked it was the best I ever…read moretasted - the grassy tasting butter, pistachio filling that was not overly sweet and the puffy buttery dough were the best! When I visited Turkey I went to several stores and none of them compared to the baklava from this store. My dear friend just returned from Turkey and bought a box for me. I am in heaven :)

Delish and we wished we came here sooner instead of spending a fortune on our hotel breakfast buffet. The dough part of the pastry was soft and not dry, just perfect. The toppings were flavorful!

This is a cute cafe. I liked the decor and selection of teas. The packaging for the cookies and…read morecakes are super-cute and would be a hit if you needed a little something for your friend's gathering. We loved the more fruity desserts but I wasn't too impressed with the cupcakes. The cake was good, a little dense and instead of frosting it was topped with a pudding-like creme. Not my taste. I'd go back if it was quiet and not too busy. It's best for buying something 'to go' as the seating area is a little on the small side. There is a small outside garden, as well.

I guess that, having now been there for a light breakfast five mornings out of the six here in Istanbul (I should have gone on the day I missed, too) probably says it all. Decent coffee, really fresh croissants and all at a sensible price. Good value too. It's only about 5 minutes from Taksim Square (just past Carrefour) so not too far to walk from the metro. Well done to the team at Olimpia - it'll be a take away on Saturday as I'll be working earlier.
