    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.

    Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

    This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family

    Been to Nabulu Coffee a few times now, and it's easily one of my go-to spots for the vibe…read more Cozy, great lighting, and a really nice casual, communal feel, it's the kind of place that works for everything, getting work done, catching up with friends, or just relaxing on your own. Seating is solid, but noise can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. Coffee is good but a bit inconsistent. I usually go for cortados, and while I've had some really good ones here, other times the milk-to-espresso ratio feels off. The flat white, on the other hand, was excellent. Still need to try the pour-over. Service is always good too! Food is solid. Chocolate chip banana muffin was great, turkey sandwich was okay. Overall: Come for the space and vibe, and try a few drinks before locking in your go-to.

    My latte was made to absolute perfection,the baristas here are clearly expertly trained, and it…read moreshows in every sip. Combine that with genuinely great customer service, and you have a winner. I also snagged a small cookie, which was perfectly fresh and tasty. They don't miss a beat on any of the small details! The atmosphere is fantastic; it's vibrant, cozy, and just a great place to be. The only thing you need to know is that this café is popular for a reason. It's often busy, so you might not always find a table to sit and work at. But honestly, the quality of the coffee and the great vibe make the occasional standing-room-only situation completely worth it. Just grab your perfect drink and enjoy!
