I ordered the Sucuk & Eggs, which was tasty enough that it didn’t need any sauce to be added. There is a beef sausage that is served with the eggs, along with a baguette, which you can make a mini sandwich out of.
I ordered the Turkish Coffee Service, in which they serve espresso, a Turkish delight (Rose Flavor), and water for palette cleansing. The espresso has a dark chocolate taste at its core so if you like dark blends, this is the spot for you. The Rose flavored Turkish delight was smooth and chewy, but not to the point where it sticks to your teeth. Very good for only $0.75 more!
And of course, you have to get the Baklava’s!

Cannot say enough great things about Istanbul Café and Bakery! We were immediately greeted and given a rundown of each food case and the menu with even a few offered samples to help us make our choices. The portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the quality and freshness of their pastries is incredible. HIGHLY recommend the tahini çorek. We will be back, these women run a beautiful establishment!

This place deserves the high rating it has. It’s so lovely! The lady behind the counter gave us all kinds of samples to try and explained all the food to us. We had the börek and a doner baguette (the bread was amazing!) as well as some pastries and Turkish coffee. Get the “service.” Its such a fun little fancy treat for less and $1 extra. I want to come back again and again! Highly recommend!

This small gem is totally awesome! In a world filled with mass market chain, restaurants repeating the same thing over and over, here you will find love and kindness in all their homemade goods. Traditional Turkish coffee and Turkish meals among other delights are all incredible and you should definitely come here to eat breakfast or lunch. It’s definitely worth the trip.

My friend and I popped in here to grab a little bit of coffee. He had the chai latte and said it was probably the best cup of coffee he’s ever had. I had the cardamom latte and it was delicious as well. Everyone is friendly and they do have baklava and many different flavors.

The food is delicious and the service is awesome. They gave us a bunch of free samples before we ordered and the food was just awesome. The portion sizes are normal, not too big. The people working here are very nice. This place filled up very quickly at lunchtime and the people working here are hustling fast to get everyone’s orders out on time. We loved it here and would absolutely come back.
Parking is free – there’s a lot outside. There is indoor seating, but no outdoor seating right now (February).

Best baklava I’ve ever had. This restaraunt is so traditional Turkiye! From the cute tea cups, decor, and especially the perfectly fluffy poffins and flavorful lattes! The Rose latte isn’t too sugary and you can definitely distinguish the rose flavor; it’s a very authentic café. The olive poffin (in photo) was so fresh and tasty!

I can see why they have a high rating. Super friendly staff. Explained to us many of the food options as well as let me try a sample of the baklava. Super clean place as well. Nice portions. Their food is gives off the “home cooking” vibe! Excellent. Only bad thing is I don’t live in Colorado so I’ll miss this place 🙁

Really good food. Eggs are always fluffy and their Sucuk (flavorful Turkish sausage) is fresh and great on a sandwich. Great for breakfast, and it’s a nice clean atmosphere to read or do homework. Really nice staff that allow you to try things you haven’t yet. Their pastries are better than the other Turkish places nearby too (Sarma is my favorite).

Can’t wait to come back, and to tell all of our friends that this spot is a must go! The food is made with love — flavorful, intentional, and fresh. The baguettes are so soft and the selection is big! Recommend trying a bunch of different things and sharing with a partner or group, because everything is delicious.
