This café is absolutely amazing! They have such a huge variety of delicious food — especially desserts and breakfast options. Everything tastes fresh and so good. The best part is that everything is halal, which makes it even more perfect. They also offer so many interesting types of coffee — there’s something for everyone. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

I am Turkish. The food tasted like homemade. We all enjoyed our food. I ate Turkish breakfast and my son loved the sucuk toast (panini) and menemen. The hot tea was actually hot and fresh. The owners, Cesur and Vugor, were very friendly and welcoming!

It is such a letdown when you’ve had true Turkish food. It was my first time here and I was truly exited and hungry when I came in on a Sunday morning ordered two menemen and Turkish coffee (spent almost 50). The menemen came out quickly and the staff is very amenable. The food itself however was not so good :(. It was full of bland chunks of tomato when it’s supposed to be truly scrambled and mixed well together. It came with one basic slice of bread and some arugula with a sweet dressing sauce. The turkish coffee and Dibek coffee are, unfortunately, such a let down. It tasted like simple water without much any flavor. I would recommend going to Turkish Lady in Alexandria for a much better cup.

Very good coffee and spice blends. I love how strongly the spices show in their specialty drinks! Additionally, the staff here is very friendly and fast! As for the atmosphere it is cozy and gives a slightly darker vibe than a lot of the other popular coffee shops on Wisconsin Ave which is a nice variety.

Amazing place! Owner works the cashier himself and he is so sweet, welcoming, and kind. He gave me an extra Turkish coffee and Turkish delight on the house upon check out! It was my first time here and breakfast is hot and delicious, and the Turkish coffee came in a beautiful cup and was truly a wonderful experience. Got two extra pastries to go to give to my friends and a punchcard to come back! Ran into lots of regulars this morning and everyone is so friendly. Would highly recommend supporting this very cozy small business (perf study spot btw)!!
