It is beautiful and clean, very noisy, crowded.
Nice staff. Fast service.
Beautiful showcases, a huge assortment of Turkish sweets and ready-made boxes of sweets to buy as a gift.
Everything is sickly sweet and very expensive at prices.
We chose just a little bit on trial in a small box. In terms of rubles, it came out ~2000₽
You can try it once for a change. 😃 No more than…
But I think you can find the same Turkish sweets at more affordable prices in other similar establishments.
The famous Hafiz Mustafa 1864 confectionery chain is very popular, so there are always a lot of visitors and of course it's noisy, but if you go up to the upper halls, it's quieter and quieter. I must say that great popularity affects the quality - it has not been so tasty lately, and prices have increased significantly - for two delicious treats and coffee in the photo, about 3tr.
The coffee here is simply incredible! I tried traditional Turkish coffee, and it was perfectly prepared — rich, fragrant and with a slight sweetness. The service was at the highest level, the staff is very friendly and helpful, always ready to help with the choice.
Besides coffee, you should definitely try their desserts — they just melt in your mouth!
We are also pleased with the beautiful interior, which creates a real atmosphere of the East. It is an ideal place for both relaxing time alone and meeting with friends.
We took baklava here as a gift. The staff was very polite, they helped me choose, packed everything carefully, even gave me a few pieces to try (by the way, it was very tasty). This is a well-known cafe chain and we were pleasantly impressed by it!
It's a great restaurant. A wide variety of Turkish desserts. I haven't tried anything from food. The service is excellent. Good location. We ordered tea with desserts, and I really liked it too.
This place is a must-visit in Istanbul. Everything is sooooo delicious.They pack it in beautiful boxes + vacuum so that it is convenient to transport it on the plane.
The assortment is gorgeous, the baklava is very tasty, tender and crispy. We took 5 pieces for 720 lire. It's cheaper on the market, but the taste is not the same. We really liked it.
The prices are sky-high, of course, But this taste is great, the service is great, you can have a snack on the spot, of course I advise you to visit, and try some sweets
A good "sweet" network. On the surface, it may seem that prices are higher than everywhere else. But in fact, we have:
Good and attentive staff (I don't know if every cafe has one)
A wide range of treats
Stylish, beautiful
And if you compare it with a simpler cafe, the prices will not differ much.
Very tasty treats, there is a place to sit, there are gift sets, the rolls are also delicious, they work around the clock, the prices are above average, but it's worth it
From the outside, it looks like another trap for a tourist, but I've never tasted such delicious baklava! It's really very tasty and it doesn't compare to what they sell in Istanbul in shops or other similar shops with baklava. They give you a taste of all kinds of baklava that is on display.
As there are a lot of people everywhere. Someone chooses, someone has already chosen and drinks tea with sweets here. You can buy beautiful, bright packages of nuts and sweets as a gift.

It's atmospheric, especially on the second floor. A huge flow of visitors, which is skillfully distributed by the staff. It's delicious, everything you touch points to the brand. Water is supplied in glass. It's expensive, but it's worth it. From the second floor, the view of the Bosphorus and the street with the tram is magnificent
We have never tasted better baklava. Fresh, delicious, a large selection. If you want to take it with you, they pack the box in a vacuum. We took the kunef - delicious and a large portion (you can safely take it for two), pistachio sprinkles and sugar syrup are brought separately, so that the sweetness can be adjusted to your liking.

Here are the best Turkish sweets to bring as a souvenir. It is a great place to visit with children, family, and friends.
Lovely coffee. By the way, there is espresso, which is not at every turn in Istanbul.
Everything is very tasty and not as sickly sweet as oriental sweets are supposed to be.
It is more interesting on the upper floors, but they are not always open. It looks like they open in the evenings.
The most delicious sweets are here)) and if you go up to the top floor, to the terrace, then the view from above of Istiklal will not leave you indifferent))
There are no cakes, it's better not to take more than 1 piece, you will be disappointed. The cream is cloying, the feeling of nausea is provided. They said that there are nuts inside, and there are peanuts and then- a little.
