MENU: Coffees, gelato & desserts. DESSERT: Affogato - 1 tiny scoop of your choice of gelato in a cup with espresso poured over. Pricey at 11 TL for the size. Taste was good. SERVICE: The female worker was friendly and spoke good English. Poor thing was by herself and the place was a little busy so we had a small wait. OVERALL: A little pricey but there's not too many ice cream shops in the area.

A lot of places have been compromising on quality lately but not Inci Pastanesi. I have been coming here since I was a young boy back in 1970s and the quality and the flavor of profiterol have been the same.

It's hard to list cons for warm desserts unless it's like eating sugar. The desserts were amazing. They do offer different types of baklava being pistachio or walnuts so may sure you pay attention to what you are ordering. As for the kunefe, this is definitely something different. I ordered it because everyone was ordering it. It was heavy, definitely over 1000 calories but totally worth it.

His ice cream is unique in that he uses fresh organic ingredients for every single flavor. He goes to farmers markets for strawberries, fresh figs, etc and turns them into ice cream. If the fruit looks bad a certain week the flavor comes off the menu. You can absolutely taste the difference and it's 100% worth the price.

Tasty ice cream with seasonal fruit. Lots of choices. Very economic. Will visit soon againread more
