Loved this place! Family-owned, freshly cooked meals, super tasty and the vibe was great. The owners are really cool— We went two times. We added the first Colombian ???????? bill to their wall of bills from around the world!

My wife and I stumbled on this beautiful little cafe during a rainstorm and popped in for tea and a meal. The owner and staff were so welcoming, answering all our questions about the space and artwork. The food was excellent and very affordable (best Menemen I've had in Turkey) and the tea was perfect to warm us up. It was more than we could have asked for, what a lucky discovery. Definitely pop by here for a meal and a warm drink on your visit to Uchisar!

If you’re in the Nevsehir region, or specially in Uchisar, I plead that you come here to eat. Prices are extremely affordable when compared to the restaurants just up the street closer to Uchisar Castle - for example, a chicken doner is 100 TL vs 300+ TL elsewhere. The owner exudes warmth and happiness. The food is amazing, and tastes like home cooking. After discovering this little cafe, my fiance and I came here for every meal for 2.5 days. We got so turned off looking at prices elsewhere that we didn’t want to try other places. I wish the owner nothing but success and longevity, we loved everything here and will definitely remember it for the rest of our lives!

Such a cozy lil local cafe! The food was freshly prepared and sooo delicious. We had the meatball sandwich, the spinach pancake and then we ordered the menemen after seeing it at another table haha it had such a generous portion of bread and was perfect. Also recommend the apple tea and Turkish coffee!

Great affordable spot for breakfast. It was within walking distance of our Airbnb. Service was great, food was great, coffee was delicious! We recommend it! Keep in mind it’s common to smoke inside restaurants here, so the air was a bit thick upon arrival. There’s outdoor seating available as an alternative. Some of the best food we’ve had in Goreme.
