    Turkish breakfast $20.99
    Dora H.

    Cute outdoor patio. & friendly service! I would rate the food here bw a 3&4, perhaps a 3.7. I tried the Turkish Breakfast plate at $20.99. It was not bad but kind of pricey. It comes with a Turkish bagel, pastry with feta cheese (not a huge fan of this, it was a little too soft & soggy), egg, beef sausage & pepperoni (these are good, very nicely flavoured), a salad in the middle, sliced havarti cheese, butter & honey, mixed nuts, olives. My friends ordered the Menemen (which looks a bit different than other types of shakshuka we've had, the menemen looks more like scrambled eggs in a tomato broth) and avocado toast. I wish I had tried their baklava & Turkish coffee though! I'll be back again to try those items.

    This cute cafe opened up along Nassau Street in about 2 months ago. Steps away from a busy Kensington Market intersection, the patio provides an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the market. They offer sandwiches, in-house baked cookies, vegan brownies, cheesecakes and other middle Eastern sweets. They serve Turkish coffee out of cute little decorative cups. They also offer an assortment of milkshakes and lemonade. I tried the lemon meringue cookie upon recommendation by one of the staff (who bakes the cookies in house). At $5 plus tax, it is pricey for a cookie but it was definitely a premium cookie. Thick, weighty, crispy on the outside but still the white chocolate chips were still gooey on the inside. I enjoyed the noticeable bright lemon flavour to contrast the sweetness of the white chocolate. Will definitely be back to try more of Pera's menu offerings.

    A nice spot in Kensington market. Nice street patio set up with umbrellas and water for your pet. I had the Turkish Style breakfast sandwich and Turkish coffee, both of which were great! Finished with baklava, coffee, and the San Sebastián cheesecake, the cheesecake was delicious, with a mousse like consistency, and unlike any cheesecake i've ever tried. The staff was super helpful and really friendly!

    Solid cozy Turkish Cafe. Simple decor. Indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors fits about 11 across 5 tables and a couple of bar seats. There are a few electrical power outlets and free wifi (tested at 30mbps dl). Opens early on weekdays. Plenty of food, pastry and dessert options although I didn't try on this visit. I will be back!

    Superb Arabica and Turkish coffee, fresh watermelon hibiscus juice, mint lemonade, generous sandwiches (TIP: get the Sujuk sausage and simit!) soups, in-house desserts -- cheesecakes (San Sebastian, crème brûlée, seasonal fruits, pumpkin, etc), macarons, incredible cookies (several made with Belgian chocolate), baklava, tiramisu, nuts, fresh fruit and more. The Turkish breakfast platter is a big win with eggs, grilled Sujuk sausage, simit bread, olives, tomatoes, mixed nuts, salad with sun-dried tomato, and cheeses. Friendly service (the proprietors are often present) with a pleasant patio -- sunlit in the summer, enclosed and heated in the winter.

    Turkish coffee with the included sides.

    What a sophisticated way to slow down and enjoy your morning (or noon hour in my case) coffee. $5.99 for a wonderful rich Turkish coffee and a selection of sides. Pleasant service, clean with indoor and outdoor seating. Great location to watch folks heading to Kensington market. Thoroughly enjoyed my time.
