They have a wide variety of cakes and pastries to go with your coffee of choice. The Turkish delight is a must try, it’s really good. The Turkish pistachio cake is very rich with chocolate and the Turkish pistachios seems to balance the sweetness of it and is good with drip coffees.. the place has a fancy ambiance.

"This place is so cute and so vibey. It is nice and cool(temp wise as well as mood). The tables get cleaned so fast, so even tho they can be quite busy there is always a place to sit. The service is quick. Hannah is such a sweet heart and so kind.I got a gorgeous iced pistachio latte and it was the best latte I’ve had in a while (and I’m picky). We also got the avocado toast and it was to die for. Truly one of the best I’ve had (and I’ve been to Australia and their avo toast is peak). If you are looking for a good place to hang that cute and yummy, you’ve found it!"
"We wanted to visit the place everyone told us we had to try, and it was completely worth it. Despite the crowded space, we managed to find a table, although it was a bit difficult since there aren’t waiters to help people get seated. Beyond that, the culinary experience was immersive—the Vavela Kunafa was a fantastic dessert, and the pistachio latte was delicious. I hope to return soon!"
