Unveiling the Mystery

A Symphony of Flavors

Jonas and I, wasted no time in sharing our dining experience. I, guided by a local favorite, savored the Turkey Chipotle Wrap—a delectable combination of lettuce, tomato, onions, and a hint of crunch from Doritos, all enveloped in a Chipotle sauce that struck the perfect balance between spice and flavor.

Meanwhile, Jonas opted for the Beef Pastrami Sub on white bread. With a generous serving of American cheese, lettuce, and tomato, this creation was a masterpiece in simplicity, showcasing the creamy and salty notes of the cheese.

The Setting: A Perfect Vibe

The cafe’s interior, as our hosts described, was a vibe in itself. Fusing elements of a traditional cafe with the ambiance of Turkish tea shops, the space featured floor seats, sofas, Oriental rugs, and a seemingly never-ending expanse. Customers could choose from various seating options, including rooms upstairs, creating a limitless dining experience.
