Do Telva’s Turkish Eggs think about me too?But seriously.. I wake up and go to sleep thinking about the delicious Turkish Eggs and all the other incredible food at Telva. The service is great, don’t be intimidated by the line because it moves quickly. The ambiance is fun and be sure to walk off your extra order of Turkish eggs in the nursery below.Walk ins only but you can order ahead. Parking is street parking.Did I mention to get the Turkish Eggs? ?
Service was great and food was decent, but the coffee wasn't good at all. We got the drip coffee and it tasted rancid. It was dark roasted and oily. I can recommend the breakfast sandwich for flavor! The avocado toast had good flavor, too, but fell apart while trying to eat it!

Our visit to Telva restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. I can’t believe it took us this long to go here! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome and at ease thanks to the charming mixture of rustic and traditional Bosnian /Turkish decor. The hosts had an easy system in place to avoid long lines! Everything was so smooth! And let's not forget the coffee served in a traditional 'dzezva”. It transported us straight to Sarajevo on Bascarsija Square. Each item we ordered off the menu was mouthwateringly good. However, nothing could prepare us for how breathtakingly scrumptious their assortment of pastries turned out. We are thrilled for the team behind Telva. They have created something extraordinary an enchanting cafe that serves mouthwatering dishes. You guys rock and your hard work is impeccable❤️
Excellent food. Long wait on the weekend … but worth the wait.

Overall, the food is delicious, but the wait is crazy on a Sunday. Only come on the weekends if you don’t mind waiting a long time.WAIT TIME: Got here at 9:30am on a Sunday. We waited in a long line for 45 mins. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth waiting that long for any place but I really wanted to try it, so I stayed this time. We saw many people leave the line in front of us, so it seems many agree. Pastry and coffee came pretty fast after we were seated and the plates took another 15 mins to come. We were there for a total of 1.5 hrs, which we were not wanting to be out for that long.FOOD: I got the chocolate povitica, the cilbir, and the 12oz cupavac latte. My partner got the breakfast sendvic and a drip coffee. The chocolate povitica was quite good, it tasted like a chocolate monkey bread slice. The latte tasted fine, to be honest it tasted like a regular latte to me. I could not tell the coconut and chocolate flavors in there. The cilbir was very delicious! The combination of the toast with the eggs and yogurt was quite excellent. The sendvic was also very good, the sausage had a spice flavor I didn’t expect but was tasty.SERVICE: Order at the counter. Server was nice, but you could tell the wait staff were a bit overwhelmed with the morning Sunday rush.AMBIANCE: The place is very aesthetically pleasing, lots of plants and plenty of seating inside.PRICE: Came out to $27 for the pastry, a latte and the cilbir; and $15 for the breakfast sendvic and a coffee. Comparable to other brunch places, but the pastries were a bit on the steeper side. Mine was $6 but some went up to $8.
Beautiful. Peaceful. Friendly and welcoming. Delicious beyond compare. Get in

I am so excited that the owners of Balkan Treat Box decided to open up another restaurant! I absolutely love Balkan and Southern Greek food and believe they do a fantastic job showcasing their heritage in The States.My friend and I went to Telva on a Friday around noon. There was ample space, not too crowded and no line when we arrived. They have a similar setup to their other establishment where you will need to grab a menu, order at the counter, find a table/be directed to one, and they will bring the food to you. If you don't travel with your own water bottle then find your way over to the water station and grab some while you wait. I GREATLY appreciated that they have eco-friendly cups and togo containers ? also that there is ample room between the tables.The menu itself is rather small but if you have any questions, the staff will help to walk you through the dishes. Not everything can be made vegetarian, but there is a good amount that is. The person helping take orders that day was extremely kind, patient, and descriptive with his explanation of the dishes. I originally wanted to order the last item on the menu (forgetting the name here) but my friend and I actually ended up ordering the same thing- Turkish eggs (Çılbır).Let me tell you, I have actually dreamt of this dish ever since eating it. There is a beautifully balanced garlicky yogurt generously encompassing the bottom of the plate. On Top is drizzled with a flavorful and rich Aleppo- brown butter and tomato sauce. Two happy eggs rest buoyantly over top and the whole thing is garnished with a plethora of fresh herbs. Two pieces of clearly homemade bread await your palate. The eggs are somewhere between poached and fried (possibly cooked in a saute pan and steamed once they set) The yokes and a rich yellow and ooze out into the bay of goodness that awaits them below.To eat- I took the bread in one hand and a spoon in the other. Surgically mounting the bread to compose the most perfect bites. Even after the bread was devoured, I happily continued eating the rest with the spoon. Honestly, this dish is the closest thing to perfection that I have had in a while.I do hope that Telva feels encouraged to continue to serve traditional Balkan food to the STL area. Because we need more of the regional cuisine!!I also ordered the tahini bun togo. It reminded me more of a cinnamon roll that was elongated and twisted into a wreath then topped with a tangly but sweet tahini sauce. While it was delicious it was not what I expected and I do feel there is some room for improvement. I was expecting some cardamom, orange, and maybe even some rose flavors. Nevertheless it was a great late afternoon snack.Overall, I am thrilled to have Telva and I cannot wait to go back. I do hope to try more menu items but honestly I will be happy if I eat their Çılbır everyday for the rest of my life! ?
