The Menu: In Progress…
Please excuse us as we find a rhythm and work out our staffing. Our kitchen closes between 2 and 5 pm to prep for dinner. Hence between 2 and 5 pm we will have very limited offerings: soups, tost, and whatever is available in the display case (pastries, desserts and drinks). During dinner service we do not have a barista and hence certain drinks are only available during the day to speed up service (no drip coffee, sütlü kahve, or salep will be available for dinner. However all fruit teas, çay, ayran, Turkish coffee and menengiç are available along with şalgam, local sodas and lavender house lemonade. We are still awaiting for our beer/wine license and will start alcohol service once we receive it. Until then we have three NA/non alcoholic drinks available (Joyus sparkling, Kasteel cherry rouge and tropical ale).
Breakfast/brunch is available Tues-Sun, from 9 am until 2 pm. Cafe menu is also available during the week (Tues-Fri) until 2 pm. Saturdays and Sundays are set aside for breakfast/brunch only. Have you serpme’d yet? You should!
Conversation is the reason, coffee is the excuse.
Gönül sohbet ister, kahve bahane.
