“ I went to Condesa location and Sabina was amazing! Today I tried Roma location and Alex made amazing Turkish/barmen coffee. This was the best coffee experience ever! ”
“ Very good Turkish coffee place in Roma. Small but cozy place. Very nice service and the coffee was nice and strong. They have some sweets too in good quality ”
“ Place has a really fun vibe. Tried the coffee and loved it so much that we had to go back! Owner was kind enough to make a mezze for us. Personally, I did not like the falafel fusion - i was told it would be a chickpea waffle but it turned out to be a toasted chickpea spread on a bread. I don't mind the shape but definitely wasn't looking forward to a bread base. Mint tea was good. ”
“ We came here for Turkish coffee the first day of our trip and made a point to come back before we left. Very sweet staff and delicious, unique coffee! ”
“ Britany was very helpful and the place was so cute! The coffee was also very strong which helped a lot. And they’re open all day! ”
