Pistachio baklava and cake
Patrick G.

A fun cafe with a unique ambiance and friendly workers. They have a wide variety of coffee drink flavors, along with yummy baklava and other treats. Great if you want to try something different from your usual coffee spot!

Twisted baklava
Peggy L.

Amazing coffee and dessert. The service was beyond expectational as the owner was very attentive with great hospitality to make sure the guests feel welcomed as the guests entered the shop. The decors and pride of this place is connected back to Turkey. I could imagine myself being transported to Turkey for a few hours and watching the documentary on the tv about Turkish coffee and Turkey culture. Very educational moment for me as I don't know much about Turkey. Tried the following items: Silky mardin (mixed coffee flavors) - don't mix it up as there's coffee ground on the bottom as it is similar to tradition Turkish coffee drink. Pretty strong and flavorful for a small sized cup. Pretty satisfying as it is unique apart from other coffee shops which I very much enjoyed the experience! Twisted pistachio baklava was so delicious, almost crunchy but not as soft like a cake. Each bite was perfect amount of sweet, not overly sweet. Definitely want to come back and try other kind of baklavas as I'd like to think it's close to what people enjoy the desserts in Turkey. Lamb Turkish dumplings - very scrumptious as each dumpling is tiny bite sizes, smothered with some kind of light tomato sauce and sour cream alike. Inside the tiny dumplings were filled with juicy lamb and good spices combined in a bowl! I'd definitely come back for this!

I stopped for some baklava and I was not disappointed. They were melting in my mouth, crunchy, light n fluffy n soaking in syrupy honey. I tried walnut and pistachio small pieces and a giant slice of pistachio one. Bite size are perfect. I almost didn't share with kids. They were that good. So good that I forgot to take a photo before they were all gone.

Stopped by Turkish Coffee Lady on a Friday morning while staying in Alexandria, and I'm so glad I did. The vibe was super cozy and beautifully decorated -- the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. The lady behind the counter was incredibly helpful and took her time explaining the menu, which I really appreciated since there are so many options to choose from. I ended up getting the minty Cappadocia coffee and a Turkish bagel with cheese and tomato. The coffee was amazing -- super fresh, with the mint flavor coming through without being overpowering at all. It was sweetened perfectly and even came with two colorful, sugar-cube-looking Turkish delights, which was such a nice touch. The bagel was crunchy, visually appealing, and absolutely delicious. Everything I tried was fantastic, and I would 100% visit more often if I lived nearby. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area!

We really enjoyed the coffee here. It came with a water and I think a Turkish delight candy. My husband thought the candy was a lump of sugar and put it in his coffee which was hilarious. I let him take a bite of mine so he knew what it tasted like. I highly recommend the silky mardin coffee with no sugar and tres leches cake. I got a Turkish bagel with cream cheese also. Seating is very limited and people tend to linger so be prepared for no seating on the weekends. The shop itself is very cozy with Turkish music playing in the background. We got the coffee pretty quickly, I wanted to try the dumplings but she said it takes about 20-30 minutes to make so maybe next time.

| COLD MILKY CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO BAKLAVA |
Ashley K.

Whenever I am in Old Town, I find myself craving kahve and baklava from Turkish Coffee Lady! Located on the corner of King Street and North Patrick Street, this beautiful coffee shop is home to a cozy atmosphere, enticing aromas, and delicious coffee. Expect street parking with a few steps at the entrance. I love sticking to my favorites -- the pistachio zeugma (decaf) coffee, as well as the cold milky chocolate pistachio baklava, which has the perfect deep chocolate flavor and milkiness to taste. And, of course, the presentation is always 10/10. The team is kind and does an excellent job walking you through the multiple coffee options. Service is also relatively quick, considering how busy it can get. Overall, a lovely place I would visit again and again. Don't miss out on this local gem!

turkish tea, pastries, turkish delight
Chelsea A.

If this has also been on your list for a while, I highly encourage you to knock it off your Alexandria bucket list! Upon walking in, I felt as if I was transported to Europe - the decor, the vibes, the wafting smells! Questions at the register were answered with ease and helpful descriptions to help me with my indecisions. My friend and I ordered the Turkish breakfast, which came two beverages of choice (coffee or tea) with water and Turkish delights on the side, a whole basket of bread, and a platter with dried fruit, nuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, jammy soft boiled eggs, salami, honey, olives, and cheeses.Service was very fast and accommodating. My friend got the "mixed blend" coffee, and I got the pistachio decaf. The mixed blend coffee was strong; the pistachio decaf had mild nutty notes. We stayed for about an hour and a half - if you know the concept of the Slow Food movement, that's exactly what you get with the Turkish Breakfast. In this fast paced world, the meal taught me: "Take your time, enjoy the food, take in your environment, and enjoy the presence of your company that came with you." All the foods mixed nicely with each other, and my inner child loved making mini sandwiches out of the bread, spreads, and salami. We got rained in, but thankfully we had nowhere else to be. Again, the theme of slow remained true here. We ordered a Turkish black tea, pastries, and Turkish delights. All the foods were truly a delight, and I can't wait to return to do a Turkish coffee reading. Highly recommend Turkish Coffee Lady to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing brunch.

Saw advertisements that this place was coming to OLX and finally had a chance to stop in and try it out. I normally like coffee but opted for a regular Iced Turkish Tea because there was a language barrier and it felt like I was frustrating the lady by simply asking if the tea came already sweetened or not. She had to verify with the barista in their native language, which is no problem, but the body language definitely read agitation. =( I'm not entirely familiar with turkish drinks but always looking to try different cuisines as much as I can to expand my palette. I would have ordered more but there was another random convo between the lady making the drinks and the one taking my order that made me feel a bit...awkward. I was still trying to complete my order but after they finished their discussion, I just left it at the tea. Bummer because the Baklava looked delicious! Parking is street. Pricing wasnt too bad. My tea was unsweetened and actually pretty good! They have some seating and it looks like a nice spot to chill, especially if you are familiar with the culture. I probably won't return but that's based on my own experience. I say go and have your own experience. It may be drastically different than mine. Maybe it was an off day. Oh well. EDIT: I do appreciate the owner for reaching out so quickly to apologize and offer a way to make up the experience for me. Customer service is everything and I'm open to giving the establishment another try in the future. I wasnt aware that the young lady was in training but now my experience makes a bit more sense. Not excusing her but she could definitely use better training w/being a front facing employee. I'm all for supporting local businesses and look forward to the 2nd impression.

Came back to give this place another try. I ordered a Turkish Coffee. They had a few flavor options and I picked the one most recommended, the "Mardin." I asked for it to be slightly sweetened. It came with some Turkish Delights of different flavors- a citrus one and an amazing rose one. The floral Turkish Delight paired well with the coffee. As usual, the ambiance is homey and inviting with lovely Turkish music playing in background. I'd come if craving Turkish Coffee, but not that iced pistachio latte I got in past. Nice, but I do feel this place is overpriced especially for their pastries.

Black tea with sugar cubes and Turkish delight.
Tierra A.

The atmosphere was cozy and delightful. Rich with Turkish decor and welcoming service! My friend enjoyed her coffee and cake! I had a simple black tea and it was accompanied with sugar cubes and Turkish delight. I enjoyed my visit. This is a great place to lounge and chat as you drink coffee/tea with an abundance of deserts to choose from. look forward to my next visit!

Borek (meat pie)
Doug B.

Wonderful experience. This is my second time visiting and both have been great with service, flavors, and overall experience. A coffee placing giving away free coffee? Yup. Thanks to Internatioal Coffee Day, Turkish Coffee Lady was doing just that with another purchase. I had the pistachio, chocolate, caramel option. It also comes with Turkish Delight. Overall, it is a beautiful presentation. I had the Turkish borek. I love the different regional options for this. I'm more familiar with it in the Balkans as burek. This meat borek was flavorful, crispy dough outside, and nice meaty inside. I really enjoyed it. Free tea too! What wonderful hospitality. Typical rea in the class cup. Enjoyable. The decor is really pretty. Lots of nice Turkish decorations. Easy 5*. Give them a try!

Pastry with olive paste

Awesome place! We stopped in and got some Turkish delights and a pastry with olive paste, which they heated up for us, and it was all delicious! The staff was super kind and the interior is has a really cool vibe. I'll have to come back and try the drinks! Loved it!

Almond cookie, decaf coffee with treats!
Maile B.

Love this place! Natural sunlight, fun and bright colors - lots of seating for one or two or small groups. Tons of options for coffee and tea. And the pastry/tea/delicious treats are always a gem!

Unfortunately, whoever the individual was on shift today was just a total piss poor person - she seemed to have an issue with our party, as she automatically assumed we just came there to 'squat' without ordering anything (if you have been to this place before, there isn't much seating and this isn't where you'd want to sit for a bit anyway); when I called her out and stated that I already knew our party's orders, she backtracked. She then continued to make a snide comment on the number of drinks we were ordering - what's with the passive aggressiveness? I didn't know that there was some rule that each person was required to order something. Like, are you okay? I just had a bad feeling about all of this, and we should have just walked out instead of giving our money to support this business - to add to it all, the coffees that we did receive (latte with soy milk, and the mocha) were just poorly made and not strong at all; they were both watered down and bitter at the same time... come on! UGH, the regret, but it was a choice. Shame on you, Via Volcán! You might want to heavily reconsider who you employ and train them better - this individual is really hurting your business! What a miserable person. Street parking can be found in the area. +NASTY employee +watered down/bitter coffee +street parking in the area

Rating only as a coffee shop, I was quite pleased with my cup of Joe, where it was full-bodied,…read moresmooth and with no harsh notes. Service was quick where I enjoyed my cup outside on one of their tables adjoining the business. Besides coffee, they would appear to serve the full assortment of drinks you would expect to see in a barista type operation as well as sandwiches where they serve breakfast and lunch during the course of the day. Nice! Overall, if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee that is not a chain coffee then this is an excellent option for you especially if you are in the area. The other key thing to note is this shop opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday so if you're an early riser like I am, keep that in mind.

It was the perfect spot to do just that. you walk in and can feel the spot is a neighborhood gem. that being said, i felt like a slight outsider being new there--not a them thing, just a me thing :). They deff have regulars. It's smal and cozy; the furniture is mismatched and i LOVE that. Now, if you have customer-anxiety, i like to call it, i would deff look at the menu beforehand so you know what to order. I walked in and there was a couple sitting closest to the cash register and i was like "oup!! can't take too long. everyone knows i'm here and i need to make a quick decision" so i just ordered quickly without really the taking time to look at the menu (whenever i go to new coffee spots i like i choose a fun, unique drink if they have it and i just derped). SERVICE: The owners were running the cash register on a saturday morning. I love me some business owners! So it made me happy to support this business. they were quick, kind, and efficient. The drink was made QUICKLY! I was in and out in under 8 mins. So saturday morning around 10:30am/11am -- i got quick service. FOOD: The iced coffee was so yum. I got a small iced vanilla latte. It was honestly perfectly. I like my iced coffees sweet but not too sweet. I didn't have to add anything but i could still taste the coffee profile. it was a joy to drink. for a bite to eat, i had the corn muffin (pretending to make myself feel better about eating something "healthy"). It was AMAZING. Totaled around 11 bucks. Definitely crumbled easy while eating it, as I was breaking pieces off with my hands while I chatted. All in all, i'd come again for sure.
