I ordered the Sucuk & Eggs, which was tasty enough that it didn’t need any sauce to be added. There is a beef sausage that is served with the eggs, along with a baguette, which you can make a mini sandwich out of. I ordered the Turkish Coffee Service, in which they serve espresso, a Turkish delight (Rose Flavor), and water for palette cleansing. The espresso has a dark chocolate taste at its core so if you like dark blends, this is the spot for you. The Rose flavored Turkish delight was smooth and chewy, but not to the point where it sticks to your teeth. Very good for only $0.75 more! And of course, you have to get the Baklava’s!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cannot say enough great things about Istanbul Café and Bakery! We were immediately greeted and given a rundown of each food case and the menu with even a few offered samples to help us make our choices. The portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the quality and freshness of their pastries is incredible. HIGHLY recommend the tahini çorek. We will be back, these women run a beautiful establishment!

This place deserves the high rating it has. It's so lovely! The lady behind the counter gave us all kinds of samples to try and explained all the food to us. We had the börek and a doner baguette (the bread was amazing!) as well as some pastries and Turkish coffee. Get the "service." Its such a fun little fancy treat for less and $1 extra. I want to come back again and again! Highly recommend!
