"Beautiful café with amazing decor and a cozy vibe. I had a pistachio latte and a butter croissant, both were delicious and the latte came with lovely cute coffee art. The staff was super friendly and even offered us Turkish cookies on the house. They also have books and board games. Highly recommend and would definitely come back next time I’m in siesta key!"

"Visited to study with a classmate and loveddd the ambience! Barista was so friendly and accommodating. We got the Turkish coffee and I saw they use really finely grounded beans from a Turkish brand. I didn’t add sugar and thought it was perfect, smooth without adding acidity like espresso shots usually do. I also bought a bag of coffee beans to-go, they use and sell Banyan Coffee Co which is local (Sarasota/Bradenton). I also got the Dubai (pistachio + chocolate) cake but it was pretty underwhelming and tasted stale. The cake texture was dense and the pistachio part was ehh. I wasn’t even sure if there was kataifi- if there was, it was soggy and didn’t give it the signature “crunch.” Turkish black tea was good! Next time coming back for Moroccan tea and the cookies/baklava. Maybe would try those before jumping into the cake. Plenty of parking and seating to chill/hang out/study. Free wifi + yes outlets!"

"A fun new experience! We were in the area and decided to explore. I love their Moroccan and Turkish pastries and offerings. My latte (Dubai) was perfection and my daughter loved her hot chocolate. The double espresso my husband ordered was just right too. To top it off, they sell Banyan Coffee here too. This is a new favorite spot! Service was excellent and shop was clean and tidy. Will visit again!"

"Delicious and delicious! What a great new addition to the Gulf Gate area. The coffee is fantastic and they make all different types of lattes and Turkish food. The first thing we tried was the El jefe which is the chicken sandwich with balsamic glaze on a ciabatta roll. Amazing combination with the Turkish twist. Did not try the pastries but here's a good view of them."

"What a wonderful find in the Gulf Gate area of Sarasota! See photos; I’m a big fan of their avocado toast!"
