In recent weeks, I've enjoyed watching this beautiful cafe come to life, as I commute to work. The cookies and pastries already looked nice in the display case. However the attention to details makes a big and positive difference to me.
The wallpaper and logo'd glass look modern and classy -- yet the cafe has an independent charm that other cafes in the area lack. Let the others have the sullen and moody university students during the midday and afternoon hours.
Under the outdoor heaters, sit for a while and enjoy the kavahlti (breakfast). Let the other busy bees queue up for take-away. This street is good for people-watching since it connects major thoroughfares. BTW mind the time, unless you want to queue up with neighborhood students on recess from their lessons. :) Reminds me that Kizilay is residential, and not exclusively for tourists.
I can't wait to return and try the dinner promotions for the after-work crowd... it's the closest to a happy hour I can get! read more
