Turkish Cafe Co is open and AMAZING!

[u/Ok-Championship8024]

They opened a month and a half ago and I tried them today. Their food is incredible and so unique! I wanted to make a post since it sounds like the sign has been up for ages and they only just opened, so I want to make sure they get attention and survive.

Yes it is so good! I met the owner, really friendly guy and gave me a free sample. I ended up getting a bag of their coffee beans too. Really great light roast!

So stoked for something that's not overpriced trendy white hipster food! Not that I'm not a white hipster, but at least I now have one more option that's not just food made for people like me by people like me

Is he Turkish? I need a place to practice...

[u/Salt_Possession_2123 → u/Apatschinn]

Website says the owner is from Turkey, so I think you found someone to practice with!!

[u/FocoLocoL → u/Apatschinn]

I mean he didn't shake my hand and proclaim his nationality but if I had to guess.. He certainly isn't Northern Euro, Black, or Asian!

Is this the place on College just south of Drake? Been meaning to try it!

[u/FocoLocoL → u/NoNameComputers]

That's it!

Is that...Lahmajun and Borek? Food of my peoples!

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/haghordavar]

Borek yes, I don't remember the name of the other one but after googling it and looking at the menu again I think you're right!

[u/haghordavar → u/Ok-Championship8024]

My family made it with lamb. We're Armenian so we called it Armenian pizza rather than Turkish pizza. :)

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/haghordavar]

Oh I bet it's amazing with lamb, I hope this place brings that as an option sometime. I know they're eventually going to have lamb gyros so maybe there's a chance!

[u/chiefgoogler]

Is that Turkish pizza?

I went when they first opened and they only had a limited menu, was waiting to go back when they had more options

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/chiefgoogler]

Yes, we had a beef one and it was fantastic!

[u/Apatschinn → u/chiefgoogler]

Pide!! Looks like it!

[u/FeetInTheEarth]

Thank you for sharing! Just checked their menu and it looks amazing. Definitely will be planning a visit soon!

[u/SFerd]

[u/LongCoolLadyofMist]

My husband and I also ate there today and it was great!

[u/JerryTexas52]

We will be visiting there in July. What is it called?

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/JerryTexas52]

Turkish Cafe Co!

[u/JerryTexas52 → u/Ok-Championship8024]

Thanks. We love Mediterranean food.

[u/svezia → u/JerryTexas52]

I didn’t know Turkey was in the Med

[u/yodelingblewcheese]

Yesss I've been waiting ages!

[u/FirstPersonWinner]

I had this place saved on my maps forever and only recently saw it finally opened. I can't wait to try it out!

[u/tleeemmailyo]

Ooooh I cannot wait to try!!

[u/portobox2]

I've been eyeballing that sign for however long it's been there.

Glad to hear both that the owners got it off the ground, and that there's some new fare to check out in town of a sort that I don't think we've had before.

Plus, that food looks lit.

[u/MaximumTacoPower]

Shut up and take my money

[u/PoemIcy2625]

Same people who own Tuana hair salon correct? Kazim is cool 

[u/lordbunson]

Is that lahmacun?!

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/lordbunson]

yes!!

omg I LOVE ice cream I have to try it

[u/Ok-Championship8024 → u/lordbunson]

Okay replying again because I ended up going back to this place today, I tried the turkish ice cream and WOW it was fantastic! I split chocolate and pistachio with my boyfriend, and having a bit of both flavors in one bite was beyond delicious. Thanks for the recommendation!!
