I’ve been patiently waiting for the Istanbul Cafe and Espresso Bar to open for almost a year. This new coffee shop is located at 175 Eglinton Ave East between Mount Pleasant and Yonge St.
Recently I noticed via Twitter that it opened and I quickly grabbed a friend to check it out. Yes..that’s the way I roll.
Upon entering we were ooohing and ahhing over the attention to detail. Everything from the lights to the fireplace is STUNNING.
Take a peek at how they serve Turkish coffee. I’m a sucker for presentation so I ordered it!!
This new coffee shop has already had a warm welcome from the neighbourhood and I’m sure it will get even more popular when their liquor licence kicks in.
On a side note: they do serve sandwiches, mediterranean treats and muffins that you would see in typical coffee shops. However, I really hope that they serve more mediterranean food in the future.
For more information:
Istanbul Cafe and Espresso Bar: 174 Eglinton Ave East, Toronto 416 480 0303

PS Liquor licence is pending….stay tuned for (much) longer hours
Looks like an interesting place. Maybe it’s time to try something other than Tim’s!
Hope you get to check it out one day soon.
