The cappuccino was delicious, though, with pretty latte art. Sat in the outdoor area with umbrellas and flowers; much of the "campus" had logo decor for photos and such. Unfortunately, a language exchange group took up much of the shaded seating, though only a couple cups of coffee in front of ~15 folks (please, buy something and support the business if you're going to take up that much space)?! Worth a visit and especially on a sunny day. Bough a few items at the shop and felt better!

I did to-go, but there are an ample amount of tables for sitting and enjoying your beverage or one of the many delicious sounding food choices on the menu... which I browsed whilst I waited for my latte.

The smoothies are good, but as a broke college student, I don't have the money to be buying smoothies regularly. (I instead find myself here when free food and drinks are involved!) (I do however want to say that my friend Juniper, a trusty employee of this establishment, had invented the Juniper smoothie, and it's pretty good. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but if it is, I'd give it a try for the heck of it.) The baristas are typically student workers, and they are some of the friendly faces that you may expect to see on campus. The roster of students working here also always changes as each class graduates or goes abroad every year. As a meeting space, this place is pretty ideal. Plenty of booths to sit and do work at, plenty of tables to do the same, there's even a conference room to host events like dinners or meetings.

I remembered that we were told you had to drive around the back. She was hesitant. Yup, that's a gas station...keep going. We landed. Walked in... It was like going to a back room of a place where illegal things take place, I guess we used the wrong door, lol! Upon entering the actual diner, you are greeted with a display case of muffins and donuts that are about the size of your head! Just around the corner are pies. We were immediately seated.

The counter server was kind enough to explain different menu items. We ordered a breakfast pide and a ground lamb pide. I got an iced mocha latte, one companion had a hot spiced mocha latte, and another companion had an iced latte with vanilla, I believe. The iced mocha was very good. The food took a bit of time but it was because it needed to cook in the wood fired oven. The ground lamb pide was full of spices and was very flavourful. It was tasty but it got a bit overwhelming when I was eating it alone. My friend offered to share some of her breakfast pide. I am not an egg person but upon the first few bites, I got quite emotional. It immediately made me think of a meal my late grandmother used to make. It was both a bit sad and wonderful as she had passed within a few months of me coming to Cappadocia and the memory associated with food gave me comfort. I'd recommend trying Cappadocia. It's a beautifully decorated space with some seating, it is a nice way to eat something a bit different from most of the food in the area and the food is very good.

There was an American dude working the counter and I'll say he didn't exhibit what I would consider traditional Turkish hospitality. There is a screen to order from right by the door when you walk it and I guess he wants you to order from that because he was more effective than Susanna Hoffs in a Bangles video at avoiding direct eye contact. I would say if the tablet is the ordering device of choice they should put it in front of the counter rather than by the door where it's behind you. We finally figured it out and were able to order on the tablet but it was disheartening to watch a woman come in after us and stand forlornly by the counter hoping that the guy would notice her. He was great at stacking dishes, wiping down counters, etc and doing everything but acknowledging the human standing five feet from him. Anyway, just as she was about to leave he said hello and then took the order in the traditional way. The tea was good and the mood was nice and the pastries looked amazing. This could have been four or five stars with personal service.

first of all it's a locally owned place it's is NOT a restaurant so there are NO public bathrooms…read more there are 2 people doing it all so yes service can take a bit since your sandwiches are FRESHLY made to each order and so are the drinks. Tina makes amazing sandwiches and great soups in the fall they also try to get most produces locally if possible. The new space is giving artist a place to show and to chill. I also want to point out that all the negative message are from the same people on the same day and it only shows their interpretation. there is no such thing a free water , the owner has to pay for the cups , has to pay for the electricity to make ice cubes so for someone to come into a snack shop to demand and yell the want tap water it's ridiculous. You don't have a Right for that you do have a right to have your own water or pay for a water bottle it's a business after all. So instead of acknowledging that you are wrong you and your family go online and blast a locally owned business. You only came to visit, many many local businesses and people disagree with the negative reviews and there is a reason it's busy many days.
