Thought this place was just okay. We came here for an afternoon snack and had 2 of their Safak Special gozleme pancakes — it’s like a crêpe filled with potatoes, onions and mint, but it really just feels like a quesadilla with potato inside. I’ve had other gozleme pancakes before, and the bread part on the outside didn’t feel quite as fresh, thin, or flaky as other ones that I’ve had. The food took forever to come out too — fine for a snack if you’re hungry, but I wouldn’t make a special trip to come here.

As it has been said, you should really be confident about your coffee to put a «best coffee in town» sign at the door. Well… It turns out it is BS after all, coffee was not good. Nothing remarkable aside from a not crowded place. Wifi is also a nice addition. They should work on their coffee, judging by the other reviews, ours was not an isolated case. We ordered also some food(see pics), which was slightly better, although not impressive. The kebab served as sandwich was at least generously filled with meat and some salad, yet not completely convincing flavor-wise. I heard the meat being fried on the back.

Chicken plate was EXCELLENT. One of the better meals I had in Turkey. Refreshing cold coffees too. A bit pricey having just come from the street food of Istanbul, but I get the feeling Goreme doesn’t have the same kind of cheap options as the capital. Nice outdoor seating and a calm view of the street /treeline too. Good stop on the way to/from the museum or valley walks.

Funny place, really old guy behind the counter who I found super duper extra precious… until he burnt the espresso in my latte. But at least I got a break from the Nescafé !! Everything in goreme is overpriced compared to other parts of Turkey, after all, it’s a tourist trap. This place opens earlier than coffeedocia(8am), and has wifi, so suck up that nasty aftertaste burnt coffee leaves behind and give it a go.

The sign caught my attention and being the avid coffee drinker that I am, I had to check it out. I was disappointed. The coffee is average, although better than the Nescafé that most restaurants in the area offer. Upon sitting down we decided to get lunch. The menu looked great although they only had about three of four of the items available. Two of us decided in meatball sandwiches, which were pretty gross. They tasted like the frozen meatballs that you can buy at Migros, and not the typical homemade ones that the other local restaurants serve. The waitstaff was great and very attentive though. Our overall experience was disappointing, but we enjoyed sitting inside and relaxing.

We were intrigued by the«no BS, best coffee, Aussie trained» sign out front — imagine our surprise to see the place run not by snobby hipsters but by an elderly Turkish couple! They prepared our espresso and macchiato quickly but the coffee was terrible – the taste was beyond burned. Another surprise to learn that the bill was 12TL! The atmosphere is fairly pleasant despite the sign saying«We won’t turn down the music, so don’t ask us»(there was no music). Such a strange place.

We loved Café Safak! Also took their cooking class and it was amazing as well. Great people and the atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting.

The bf and I have been having a hard time finding decent vegetarian food. We tried coffeedocia but this place’s food is so much better. Highly recommend vegetarian plate, award winning lentil soup and coffee! Very reasonable prices and has WiFi.

Incredible gözleme AND the coffee is to die for. American, Turkish, you name it! We’d go back in a heartbeat.

My wife and I are wrapping up our trip here in Cappadocia and wanted something local before we leave. Our friend Google and tripadvisor pointed us to a few place, this being one of them. We had to look around initially because the sign is a chalkboard. They brag that they have competition winning lentil soup, but it was too warm for me to try the soup though I would have tried it if we were here for dinner. We ordered their şafak special, which was really good, along with a toasted veggie sandwich. Their food and service was really great and would highly recommend this place. If you like spicy… ask for their hot sauce.
