Stopped by this cafe to grab a treat. A friend of mine mentioned that it had just opened up nearby, and I'm all about trying something new. Will say that I was disappointed. I expected the cafe to embrace their Turkish culture, but they did not... instead, the place is a mishmosh of goods without a cohesive theme. Also, when we were there at midday, a lot of the stands were empty. I ordered the strawberry mint fauxito which sounded really great and natural on paper, but ended up being a bit oversweetened with syrup(?).

Read moreI’m not a fan of buying food I can make at home easily but since it was Mother’s Day, I said why not. So happy I decided to give Turquoise Bakery a shot. My family and I ordered the egg sandwich croissant, vegetable soup of the day, grilled cheese, burrata toast, and a side of hummus and pita with hazelnut chocolate latter and a dirty chai latte.

Great atmosphere, very clean and relaxing. Everyone was very kind and pleasant. We will definitely be back....
