Istanbul Café And Bakery - Denver

We had knafeh in Texas which was a slice of heaven, so googled found this bakery with amazing reviews. The ambience of this cafe is really nice, it?s clean n inviting. The person behind the counter was really nice, he took out time to explain the different items they had. We ordered knafeh, but this was a frozen item and they had to heat it up in oven before serving. This was nothing similar to the one we had in Texas. It was so rubbery n chewy. The other item we triedwas a type of baklava, this was good but nothing exceptional.

Went there after reading great reviews and I am glad to say I was not disappointed. Didn't give 5 stars coz kunfeh which they are selling is frozen and not fresh. Baklava tasted great though. Being a full fledged bakery, the assumption was we will get everything fresh but that was not the case for kunfeh. Other than that, had a great time. The person serving was very helpful and took time to explain the variety of items. Will definitely visit again but will avoid the kunfeh.

We loved everything we tried from this little cafe. They?ve created an inviting atmosphere that has the feel of Cheers there?s a warm welcome for everyone who enters. The staff continuously invited guests to sample pastries, including one curious table that was invited to try a bit of everything at the counter after they finished their brunch. There was a goof with our order when we asked for a dish for a vegetarian to be delivered with the meat on the side, the meat wasdeliver next to the eggs on the same plate rather than a separate plate so being precise in one?s communication is recommended.

Environment is small, but cozy. I was greeted with such charisma and joy! I told the front lady that it was my first time visiting, and she offered a sample without me asking. She even asked if I was vegetarian or not, which I am! It was such a kind interaction. She pays attention to her customers and it seems as if she enjoys what she is doing. The food tasted amazing! I may become a regular after today.

Immediately upon entering you are so welcomed and offered samples of their delectable fare ! This is the customer service and interaction that is sorely missing from the majority of cafes and restaurants in Denver. The baklava and iced Turkish coffee is absolutely incredible. Thank you ?Food: 5/5
