Ephesus Mediterranean Delights

I just got back from Istanbul and ran out of my Apple powder tea, I ordered some to be .failed to me from the Grand Bazzaar then a friend mentioned this place.... WHAT!!!! I said, off course I went there today. As I just got my order last week I have my apple, pomegranate and mint tea, so I got some peach tea and could not leave without some delicious turkish delight. Went for the rose and pomegranate, both with Pistachio. Lovely place and look forward getting my teas from there now.

A true European delight in the heart of Sarasota’s St.Armands circle! The samples they give out make you wan to come back for a coffee sit down. The best people watching experience in the circle and treats you can’t find at a traditional coffee shop or bakery. Worth coming to from anywhere in Sarasota 🫶🏽 the smiles on the staff are a huge plus too! Great people, great vibes

This was my first—and definitely my last—visit to this restaurant. The food was extremely greasy and overly salty. They served fried vegetables that were completely overcooked, almost like chips. The server didn’t seem to care whether we liked the food or not. I ordered the octopus, which was soft, but it was also heavily salted. I had to replace my over-fried vegetables with a salad, and even that wasn’t fresh—the dressing was oversalted as well. It seems to me that they have downgraded what’s supposed to be known as great Greek food. See attached photos.

Terrible and disgusting experience. We bought a sweet product from this café and left, driving quite far. Later, when we stopped to enjoy it, we were shocked to see live bugs crawling out of the dessert. This is completely unacceptable and shows a serious lack of hygiene, proper storage, and quality control. Our appetite was instantly ruined, and the whole experience was extremely unpleasant. I would strongly advise avoiding this place. This is a serious food safety issue.

Sampled a couple treats outside...they were on our list regardless... We were treated like family! Seated in the rear on the floor pillows....be sure you're able to handle getting down that low and getting back up. The employees were fantastic! Great selection of Mediterranean delicacies! We selected a couple different types of baklava, Turkish coffee, and waters. If we weren't on the way to Lido Beach, we would've walked out of there with a huge bag of goodies. Highly recommended!!
