Istanbul Cafe and Bakery — Restaurant in Denver

We were passing through Denver and got snowed in for the night and much to our delight discovered the wonderful Istanbul Cafe the next morning! We skipped right over the hotel breakfast and walked straight there. The owner who was at this location that morning, was so very friendly, giving us a tour of the different selections, explained how things were made, and offered samples to try! The Borek we selected was absolutely delicious, flaky and savory. We also ordered one of the breakfast platter options offered. It was refreshing and satiating with fresh cheeses, bread, olives, and tomato/cucumbers. All of it was deliciously mix and matchable and enjoyable together in one bite. The Turkish coffee and tea, were excellent with the perfect taste just how it comes, or you can ask for it how you want it! And the Baklava was exceptional as well. Don't pass it up! In addition to the food, the owner and staff were also exceptional.

Was delighted with my visit to Istanbul Cafe&Bakery! My first time at this location (one by DU and the other on Leetsdale?) The highlight of my experience was the service provided by a fellow named Yass. Who, from the moment I walked in, greeted me with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm. His knowledge for the bakery's authentic selection( almost every thing is from Turkië) was very large. He explained the various baklavas and offered samples of some of his favorites, making my decision much easier. His energy was what truly enhanced my visit. It's rare to encounter such exceptional customer service (especially after covid) , Highly recommend the Turkish Coffee and the Simit Bagel! A great experience, especially if you get the chance to be...
