A few hours before my family & I stopped into Reci's we needed to break a large bill for a taxi…read moreride into town. After they said they couldn't, we walked to another store to just buy something. To our surprise one of the waitresses tracked us down and gave us change so we didn't have to buy anything. We decided there & then to make sure we stop by. *a few hours later...sonra* We stopped in and saw the same waitress and she seated us at an outdoor table. Noticed that the cafe is not on Yelp. I am to change that with this review. The appearance of the cafe was quite nice though it was streets use & attached to a mall. They even have Koy fish in outdoor tanks next to the seats. We decided to order Frozen Melon drinks (it's HOT in Izmir!), ice cream for my son & a cheesecake to split amongst us. The drinks were really good & the cheesecake was phenom. The service was top class & the manager was a really nice guy as well. Nice cafe in an old but up-&-coming neighborhood. Lots of patrons, young to old! We will be back!

Kemeralti is one of the must-see places in Izmir. Its labyrinthine lanes are packed full of shops…read moreof almost any kind. Even on a quiet day, it's pretty crowded and walking around tends to be in slow motion, because of the browsing masses of shoppers, ambling tiredly in front of you. It was under circumstances like these that I first discovered this peaceful oasis far enough from the crowd. Now it's not a Michelin-starred anything; it is a modest cafe, with welcoming staff, comfortable seating, tea, coffee or -- for me, in summer, at least -- ice-cold beer served in an ice-cold glass. They have the hubble-bubble/sheesha/narghile, naturally. And fans when it's hot, and tarpaulins above protect one from the blazing summer sun, and from those winter Mediterranean rains. It's a real go-to spot, set in an ancient and attractive complex of former workshops. Tip: a few less interesting cafes that line the passageway before you reach the square that Lesmire Cafe calls home feature smiling waiters that will try to seize your custom. Smile and keep going: it's the first, outdoor (mostly) cafe on your right as you enter the larger square.

Stopped by the "world famous" Hatay Pazaar (Bazaar)...on the way home decided to try out…read moreCoffeeMania. Popped in for something small. Decided on a strawberry lemonade x2 & crispy chicken tenders w/fries. Wife had the Manti w/the Hawaiian frozen drink. Everything was really good. Made fresh and the fries and chicken were definitely still piping hot when they arrived at the table. Price was super cheap for what we got. The lira equivalent or $20. If you're in the area check it out.
