Neighborhood gem! Will be coming back often. The cafe has a cozy and warm ambiance with enough seating inside. Staff are friendly. The menemen eggs and and kavurma & eggs were both tasty options for brunch. We liked the menemen eggs slightly more but they are easy comfort foods. The house made bread it comes with is very good as well. The fire roasted eggplant was refreshing and flavorful, and the clotted cream and honey was a nice addition to round out our brunch for three ladies. The coffee was good but I highly recommend the hibiscus tea brewed in-house. read more

One of our favorite go to places in Gilman village. The staff are kind and amazing, and the owners are always there she is their early on in the morning baking and the breads are very light yet filling. We like the mozzarella pesto, the veggie wheel, and Turkish tea. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for drinks and snacks before heading out on a morning drive and I'm so glad we decided to try this new bakery! From the moment we walked in, the staff were so kind and friendly. The woman behind the counter immediately greeted us and asked if we needed help. I love small businesses that make you feel like you're a part of the family. Even though we weren't sitting in the cafe, I was obsessed with how open and clean it was. There's so much natural light and this would definitely be the perfect spot for a brunch date or coffee chat with friends. I ordered a belgian hot chocolate with oat milk and I adored how rich and creamy the chocolate was!! They made my drink perfectly and it stayed warm for hours while we were driving up to the pass. My boyfriend loved his Turkish Milk Tea, which he sweetened with sugar. I've tried iced milk tea but I've never had it hot, and the sip I had tasted of his drink was delicious! Neither of us had ever tried a Simit before and my taste buds loved with the light and airy texture of the dough. It tastes just like a sesame bagel and my boyfriend and I enjoyed sharing it. My boyfriend really appreciated how many authentic Turkish items were on the menu and that the flavours were so fresh and bold. We definitely will have to come back for lunch sometime! read more

We ordered 3 different style pastries (2 savory and 1 sweet) and found all of them to be average. They were all pretty dense and had really thin layers of filling inside, which was disappointing given they were $7 each! The location is cute, but given the quality of the pastries I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

Amazing authentic Turkish food and desserts! The staff are super friendly and the service is great (the plates are especially cute, too). Amazing authentic Turkish food and desserts! The staff are super friendly and the service is great (the plates are especially cute, too). tried the traditional Turkish breakfast (serpme) and it was incredible. My favorite was the menemen (omelette), but everything else was delicious as well. The only downside is that the portion size for the serpme (the traditional Turkish breakfast) didn't quite feel like it justified the price, but it still wasn't too bad overall. If you go, I highly suggest the cheesecake. It comes with melted chocolate that you pour over the top--it tastes amazing! If you go, I highly suggest the cheesecake.

What a succulent and delightfully delicious boutique Turkish cafe, situated in the upscale Gilman Shopping Place or something. No seriously though, go try it. I had the pastrami, breakfast platter, and Turkish coffee. Very friendly servers and chill vibes read more

Chicken shawarma sandwich is ridiculously good. Awesome variety of drinks and good service speed. I think this place is a must-try in Issaquah! read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious and there are a lot of healthy options. My wife and I can split a dip platter and something from the bakery and feel completely satisfied. And given the state of prices at restaurants right now, Bernas feels like a really good value. I'll keep coming, and I want others to come too so we can keep unique spots like this open for a long time! read more

Nice little spot to stop for food and coffee. Staff were very friendly and helpful in offering advice on the menu. Had the Sujuk & Eggs which was a scrambled egg with Turkish sausage that tasted great and the sausage had the right amount of spice. No, it's not hot, just has spice. Also had the Turkish latte which had a nice kick that you would expect from this style of coffee. Great place and would recommend if you're in the area. read more

How wonderful to find high-quality authentic Turkish food in the seattle area!! I stopped in on a whim and couldn't have been more pleased. I can't recommend the lentil soup, muhammara, or carrot and garlic appetizer enough! Everything we had here was delicious and we need to go back to try more! The cheesecake was a DREAM and I've told my husband he needs to get me a full Berna's cheesecake for my birthday. Also if you have never had an authentic Turkish Delight, this is the place to try them. I wish Berna's nothing but success and will be making the trek from seattle to eat here again soon. read more

Currently in their soft opening so I can't give 5 stars just yet but I plan to come back. Good Turkish coffee and excellent simit. The breakfast tray looks great but no one told us about it when ordering. So we had to be jealous when we saw it walk by. Staff is wonderfully nice. The store is bright but cold in the morning. read more

I really enjoyed this spot! The menu is a little different, so I wasn't exactly sure how to order, and the checkout girl wasn't able to explain the dishes. My only critique would be to provide guests with a bit more guidance on what each dish includes. For example, I didn't realize the eggs came with bread, so I ordered pastries as well. That being said, the food was amazing! Everything I ordered was delicious, so I think you really can't go wrong here. Once more photos are posted of the menu items it will be much easier to visually see the options, so I added mine to help you. :) read more

The food was good, but the service was extremely disappointing. From the very first minute the staff were unfriendly, almost as if I owed them something. I was also overcharged -- I paid $33 for two coffees and one pastry, and since they don't provide a receipt, you have no idea what you're actually being charged for. Later, when I ordered another dish, the waitress came over and said she had "just realized" that I had been overcharged earlier because they added a dish that didn't belong to me. She never showed me a receipt, never told me how much I overpaid, and I still have no information about when or if I'll get my refund. When I was leaving, no one said a word -- they literally turned their faces away. The whole atmosphere felt unpleasant and unprofessional. And the ironic part is that I had left a generous tip at the beginning. read more

Berna's is phenomenal! The closest I've had to traditional home cooked Turkish dishes since Istanbul. The place is open, airy, and beautiful. Even when it's busy, it never felt like a long wait- the ladies came by and made sure we were filled on tea. It's popular for a reason! I've been a few times and had the pastries, but this time I was blown away by the breakfast platter. My happy place truly is with family and friends enjoying Turkish tea with warm bread, fresh fruit and honey after sharing eggs and sides. Savory: - Eggs with Sujuk (Turkish spiced sausage- the best!!) - Olives - Hummus - Menemen (Turkish eggs) - 3 cheeses Sweet: - Fresh fruit - fresh cream with honey and honeycomb - incredible homemade blueberry AND apricot compote Included also Turkish tea or coffee and the most incredible assortment of homemade breads including soft loaves and simit (like a bagel) read more

Amazing Turkish pastries!!! My wife and I love Berna's. We've been going to Gilman Village for many years. Recently we noticed a new bakery cafe. Berna's is located in the western most corner of this lovely outdoor shopping experience. Let's just say Berna's caught our eye but mostly our noses!! Being new to Turkish pastries we didn't know quite what to expect. Upon entering we were greeted with warmth and smiles and a glass case filled with an amazing array of sweet and savory pastries!! Too many to mention here. You need to go!! We instantly fell in love with the olive bun. It's subtle and delicious the bun is soft and just perfect. On my next trip in they have a ground beef stuffed flakey pastry that has my name on it!! Get there and enjoy!!! read more

I tried a few "açma" and the other kind of baked goods. Same as delicious in Turkey ! Thanks Berna

Came here and got some pistachio baklava and tahini cookies. The baklava was fantastic but the tahini cookies were literally like eating chalk--so dry and crumbly. I tried to break one in half because they're quite large and it exploded into tiny pieces. The flavor was great but sooo dry. I have had tahini before but never as a cookie so maybe that is how they're supposed to be? I did also think it was a bit expensive. read more

Great food and service. Fresh homemade bread on my chicken sandwich. I will return.

Fantastic food- including delicious freshly made pastry and hearty breakfast options for everyone (vegan too) set in a beautiful warm and airy space. A cozy spot for brunch or a coffee plus a piece of incredible cake!! read more

High quality food, every day fresh. Always fresh pastries. Authentic and delicious meals. Outrageously amazing coffee. Friendly and unobtrusive service.

Music is authentic and sound level is comfortable for conversations. Love it! read more

I absolutely loved my visit to Bernas Bakery & Cafe! It is such a gem in Issaquah. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, but the real highlight was how fresh the food is. Specifically, the bread was outstanding--you can really taste the quality. The breakfast was balanced, fresh and cooked to perfection. We tried three egg dishes and the braised meat and eggs were out of this world. It's rare to find a place that hits the mark on hospitality and such fresh ingredients. I can't wait to return!" read more

New Turkish Bakery and cafe in Gilman village. This location has had several restaurants that have all failed. I had high hopes for this one, but I don't think it will survive. Unfortunately, the food wasn't very good. The ladies behind the counter were very nice butI found the owner to be rude and dismissive. You shouldn't own a restaurant if you don't want to give good customer service. I won't be coming again: read more

Turkish tea was good; and our breakfast items ( eggs with beef; eggs with sausage) were cooked nicely! The simit was good, but the ones we had in Turkey tasted better- might be limited to the kind of flour available here...they offered complimentary bread with the breakfast items - they were hot fresh from the oven; tasted ok but nothing fantastical. Service was good; our server was attentive and efficient! The place was very clean and comfortable for our family of 6 meeting up for breakfast! read more

Small space with lots of delicious pastries. I tried mostly savory. There are flakey square pastries with vegetable, soft pillows pastries with cheese, sesame simit, olive paste stuffed, and many more. Came here by mistake. I have been returning each day while visiting area. Try it. They are new and everything is delicious. read more

What a wonderful experience. I stumbled across this authentic, lovely Turkish coffee shop/cafe when I was visiting from New York. Not only was the cheesecake the best I've ever had, the Turkish coffee service was an event unlike any other I've enjoyed. The owners were so welcoming, and I felt like a family friend by the time I left. Please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop by while you're in the area. You won't regret it. read more
