Everything about this place was absolutely stunning--the employees are patient and friendly, the turkish delight mind-blowing, and building itself bueatiful. I entered the store thinking I might purchase one or two pieced of turkish delight, but eventually walked out carrying a bag containing multiple boxes of turkish delight and a cup of hot tea. Quite possibly one of the best aspects of this store was that it wasn't overpriced, either. In fact, it was only about $10 per person, depending on what you purchase. The experience of coming to the store was truly unique and I wish to come again soon.

What a wonderful place for a new experience. The Turkish coffee was wonderful, as were the sweets. The service and staff were pleasant and helpful in my choices.

Never had Turkish delight before and it was delicious. Staff was really friendly and let us try all kinds of samples before we decided what to buy. Would definitely go back to try other flavors and offerings there.

A delightful store full of delights. It’s nice to try something out of the ordinary. The Turkish delights are delicious, the coffee is an experience. Presentation is a big part of this place and they do it well. This place transports you to another part of the world and feels like a store you might find after going through the wardrobe in Chronicles of Narnia. lol Get out and check it out!

This is absolutely my favorite coffee shop anywhere in the world. Hands down. If you’re looking for your Starbucks frappe-whatever you’re in the wrong place. This is a really legit Turkish coffee house where sharing coffee with someone is a cultural event. Beautifully served. Best paired with a delight or two and a piece of baklava. Honestly it’s an amazing experience. Wonderful food and coffee and great service. I go here every time I’m in SLO.
