Incredible experience: everything from the Turkish coffee to the large platter, ambiance and especially the service was exceptional. Will definitely return here.

Little gem close to the beach. Delicious food and wondeful service. Locally owned. I tried the mint tea on recommendation from the owner. Loved it! My husband and I shared the charcuterie board, and the hummus was amazing with warm pita. Going back to try the baked goods and turkish coffee.
Sweetest owner! We loved the Turkish coffee and pistachio delights. Great atmosphere.

So let's start with the good. Turkish coffee is delicious, so is the tea. Would recommend for that. What was terrible? Well.... while I understand it's a coffee shop not a restaurant, the menu looks like a restaurant, offering real food while being just reheated freezer meals. To avoid more negative reviews about food, of which there are a few, maybe change up the menu to reflect more coffee shop style foods, that don't look like dinner or put some more effort and pride into the available dinner options. Also clearly labeled expired food in the display and filthy bathroom was a bit of a turn off. Has huge potential but needs some work.
Turkish coffee, perhaps the best in Jacksonville. Owner operated, and a comfortable location to share with friends.
