Center Coffee & Baklava — Restaurant in Göreme

I have mixed feelings about this cafe. The place looked good, plenty of seats, and had a lot of choices. We ended up getting the Kunefe, Zebra coffee, and Turkish tea. I was told that the Kunefe would take about 20 minutes to make, so I agreed. We told them that we’ll take the food and beverage at the same time. At around 20 mins, we saw a Kunefe served to someone who ordered way after us. So I asked the staff, and he said they had a problem with the oven and that our kunefe should be coming out. (Though they were able to make one for the couple, transactions after ours) I also saw a glass of tea sitting on the counter for a couple of minutes. (This was later served to us, but it was cold by that time) Food and drinks were served more than 30 minutes after we ordered. I was told the Zebra coffee was a mix of white and usual chocolate, tasted fine. Also, It was my first time having Kunefe and I thought it was good. We paid for the one served with ice cream, only to find out that they had run out of it. We just got the refund. Hopefully, they could improve...

I had an amazing experience at Center Coffee & Baklava! I ordered a delicious cup of hot tea—Madagascar mixed with vanilla, skillfully made by the amazing Barista Cihan. What made my visit even better was Cihan's exceptional service. When there was a language barrier with the person initially taking my order, Cihan stepped in immediately with his translation app, showing patience and a genuine desire to assist.

Cihan's friendly demeanor and helpfulness made him someone you can't help but admire. Despite his English not being perfect, he strives to communicate and improve, which is truly commendable. He even remembered to check on me when I returned for a water refill.

Cihan's dedication to customer service and his positive attitude are the reasons I'm writing this review. He made my visit to CCB memorable, and I highly recommend stopping by to experience his excellent service firsthand. Tell him he's the best (and he is). It's...

We were here often, usually between midnight - 5am because it's open 24 hours which is great. The guy working overnight is fantastic, so friendly & happy to answer all of our questions about what's inside the various pastries or what flavour is this or that. He's always smiling & makes his customers feel good. There are many cakes & baklava choices, drinks of all varieties & types to your heart's content. People gather here throughout the night after they finish work as most travel businesses are open very late, so the atmosphere is lovely with people saying hello & talking to you, recommending things to see or places to eat. In a short time this coffee house feels like your local cafe at home - always welcome & everyone knows you....
