I had just ended a tour mid-afternoon and what better time for something warm to drink on a warm summer day?
I saw the store front at a corner and it was hard not to stop by with their outdoor seating facing the sunny street. They had a variety of tea, coffee and specialty drinks that were innovative to some of the other coffee shops I've been to.
The Turkish coffee shop had a special offer that day for a macchiato with a spongy coconut cake so I decided to go with that option. The espresso was smooth and topped with a generous amount of foam. The servers there are very laid back and friendly. The sponge cake wasn't very sponge-y at all! It resembled a firm, yellow cake with a sticky, sweet outside coating coated with shreds of coconut. The cake was the perfect portion size to go with your afternoon coffee. It was a bit on the dry side for me so I won't be having it again. However with their interesting menu, I think I'll be able to find something else I'll like.
Macchiato with Spongy Coconut Cake * $3.99 (Special Offer)
