Istanbul Cafe & Bakery

Super easy five stars!Yelp search, you really did me right when I searched for a good place for coffee and conversation near Leetsdale and Monaco. Who would have thought there would be such a hidden gem in a King Soopers Shopping Center? Well, think no more because this place is awesome!Holy smokes, everything about this place is fantastic. We had Turkish tea. $2.95 plus a free refill. Butterfly Walnut and also a Pistacio Baklava piece. $2.95. Carrot/Havuc Baklava. $5.95 for a slice of pie-sized piece. Great deal!Anything you order is going to make you smile and your eyes will roll up into your head when you taste it. You know what I'm talking about...that's how good it is.On top of that, the woman who helped us was super nice and made our experience all better.It's very clean and it's a perfect place for a nice conversation.They have alkaline water, and it's free I've never seen that before, at least for free! Nice touch!!There are plenty of savory things to eat. Great place for lunch or grab and go to treat yourself for later. There's no way anything I write could even come close to telling you what a great find this place is. If you're in the Denver area, definitely bookmark this place! I think they have a couple of other locations in the Denver area, so you might be able to find one closer to where you areThis is one of my top finds of all time!

Great place for casual brunch. Food: The beef borek and cardamom latte were stand out items here at Istanbul Cafe & Bakery. The dad plate had eggs with Turkish sausage, cucumber, tomatoes, olive, and cheese. Borek is a pastry filled with a variety of ingredients like cheese, spinach, or meat, wrapped in filo dough. Service was excellent. I would come back for the boreks and to try more lattes.

Outstanding customer service!The Turkish tea, beef borek, and pistachio latte were all fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.

Can only report on the bureks and baklava--all were excellent. Highly recommend. Will def be back next time i'm in denver

Really refreshing first meal. I love the whole foods represented on the plate. Cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, oil, warm crusty bread, cheese, Turkish tea and a bite of chocolate baklava to top it off. Super friendly, really understands customer service and making you feel welcomed.

I can't believe it took me so long, but I finally made it to the North Denver location yesterday. It's a cute, clean space- very inviting. I was pleasantly surprised that dogs are allowed- this could seriously be our new favorite spot!! Everyone working there was super nice. I'd already had breakfast and wasn't terribly hungry, but couldn't resist a snack. I had one of the spinach and feta pastries- yum!!!

Easily don't skip! A nice place for breakfast or brunch. Wide variety of baked goods sweet and savory. The menu is Turkish/ Mediterranean inspired.. eggs, veggies, dips.. (I'd recommend ordering 1-2 simits as a default)The service is so nice and welcoming.Plenty seating indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend and would try again if I'm in the area.

Terrible experience! They charged me $20 for a poorly made pide and a small cup of tea--not worth it at all. The taste was awful, and to make matters worse, the cashier had horrible communication skills and was downright rude. The food, service, and overall experience were the worst I've ever had at a Turkish restaurant.

Don't miss this great find! We were driving past and saw the sign for Turkish coffee. He couldn't pass that up! And as long as we're here...The Beef Borek is a wonderfully savory treat with just the right mix is spices. The Nutella Acma was a pleasant bread-y follow to that, and the Baklava is perfect with the coffee. We tried all three - classic pistachio, walnut, and chocolate. The classic is still our favorite, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. The staff is also fantastic. Friendly, smiling, and seem very happy to be here, even on a holiday.

This place is delightful. I told the owner it was my first time here and he let me sample a couple of items. He was so nice and recommended a few things for me after I you him I was a vegetarian. The spinach feta börek was delicious. Would definitely come back.
