I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty. The Turkish coffee Golden Bear style was very strong. The baklava was flaky and sweet. There are a couple of tables and window seats for you to sit and enjoy your coffee/treats. This could potentially be a great working/studying spot!

I had never tried Turkish coffee before but this place has me hooked now!! It's definitely different than most coffee, you have to let the grounds settle. But the flavor is strong without being bitter. Recommend getting golden bear style. They also have some good breakfast options too.

The best place to live near ever. It has great coffee, lots of alcohol to choose from, and so many treats! The baklava selection is amazing and they make them in huge slabs. It's also perfect if you want to come with your laptop for the day, they have several tables with outlets

Came here for a chai latte and to get some remote work done. The owner is very kind and created a great community space for warm drinks and ambiance. They also have WiFi available for customers and both indoor and outdoor seating.

Walked from UCSF hospital to grab a coffee. I asked for a large house coffee. When he started pumping it out of the coffee pot, I almost stopped him because I thought that coffee would likely have been several hours old. Turned out this large cup of house coffee was fresh, and most importantly HOT! It was excellent. Hit the spot. I saw baklava-pistachio and walnut and grabbed one to pair w my coffee. It was just what I needed. Looked like a decent selection of wine as well. I'll be back.

We got the Turkish coffee (golden bear style) and the chagaccino. Both were really good! We also got the pizza deluxe piroshki and potato knish which were okay. Overall cute place, also has plug points and looked like a nice spot to work from.

Yummy drinks and unique Turkish coffee! It's a mom and pop shop that has a huge drink selection (including lots of alcohol). It was very quiet, and a good place to work at. The drinks may come out a little slow as only one man was taking orders and making drinks. Stop by and check it out!
