Istanbul Cafe and Bakery — Restaurant in Denver

Wow! The Turkish pastries are so flaky, and the baklava are all phenomenal, with many options to choose from. The turkish espresso is smooth and strong, and the chai and black tea were great as well. Not only did I eat here, I brought more home to share with family and the opportunity to try more of what I didn't during my visit.

Since it's adjacent to the DU campus, most patrons seem to pop in and pop out quickly, too, if that's your thing. The service here is great. They are quick to take your order and get for food or drink to you very timely. Very clean and organized. Great spot for coffee/tea/food to stay or go. We sat at one of the handful of tables, right at the window, perfect for people watching.

Every single item ordered was delicious, with the perfect amount of flavor.

For the full experience, don’t skip the Turkish coffee service—a ritual in itself, beautifully presented and best enjoyed alongside that heavenly baklava. This place isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience worth savoring. Can’t...
