“Social Sloth is a warmly run café where Turkish culinary passion meets Michigan hospitality, with chef-owners who sing along to their heritage while crafting exceptional Turkish meatballs, pastries, and coffee that customers swear they can taste from memory. Beyond the excellent traditional drinks and laptop-friendly seating, they've built something genuinely special through cooking classes and catering that guests describe as judgment-free and laid-back—a real treasure that makes you feel welcomed into the owners' world. Whether you're stopping by for a buttery chocolate croissant, settling in for hours, or hosting your next gathering, there's a palpable sense that every detail matters here.”

We recently had Social Sloth Catering handle a work holiday party at our home for about 20 people, and Chef Aybars and Burcay were absolutely fantastic. Our guests were raving about the food all night—the quality and flavors were truly outstanding. They made the entire experience incredibly easy for us. They took care of the delivery, full setup, and clean-up, which allowed us to actually enjoy the event without any stress. We had a few holiday trays we wanted to use, and they incorporated them beautifully. They even went the extra mile by individually packaging their cookies as a thoughtful takeaway treat for our guests, which everyone loved. We were so impressed with both the service and the food, and we will definitely be using Social Sloth Catering again. Highly recommend!
When I'm craving Social Sloth, I can almost smell and taste the amazing Turkish food from memory. My favorite items are coffee, tea, meatballs, chicken and any dessert. I'm never disappointed. Fortunately, I have gotten to know Burcay and Aybars, who own and operate this amazing Turkish diner. With inviting smiles, they serve delicious, healthy and authentic meals made fresh daily.
I cannot say enough good things about the cooking classes at Social Sloth. They are laid back classes with AMAZING food and a great opportunity to learn some new cooking skills. No judgement for newbies. For our class we made lentil soup and kisir, and they turned out great. I highly recommend this restaurant and their cooking classes!
A real treasure in an unexpected location. The couple that runs it are welcoming and are passionate about quality food and sharing their culture. I love hearing the chef sing along to Turkish songs while he prepares dishes unique to this area. Casual cafe dining- call ahead if you have a party larger than 4. Check out their website for meal prep and cooking classes. I’m not affiliated at all I just love unique places like this.
Really great food. It is really nice to see places like this move into Lansing. The customer service was great, they were helpful and friendly. I ate the chocolate croissant and it was amazing soft and flaky. The turkish omelets is spicy and full of flavor. Visit this place if your are in the area.
