I also bought some baklava, sesame cookies, and some fig based desserts. The lady was very friendly and made sure there were no walnut products. The baklava was really good and I enjoyed the Kanafa.

They also have beautiful garden seating. I ordered Turkish coffee, fresh grapefruit juice, Gurmanski dorucak, mini burek with spinach and cheese, and fruit cake. I love Turkish coffee and this was very good. The juice was tart and delicious. The breakfast platter was a showstopper. Two fried eggs, tomato, feta, two meat patties, and homemade bread. The flavors of the meat blew my mind. Who knew that Croatians make the most delicious burgers. This is a hearty and fantastic dish. Also, the burek was flaky and light and not very mini. I took home the cake and enjoyed it later. Light, delicate and not overly sweet, this was a star. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you should stop in for any meal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't wait to r

Cafe Bubamara delivers a warm, attentive dining experience with service that feels both welcoming…read moreand well-organized. Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

He had tried it at a friend's mosque and he says he's been chasing that high ever since. We figured we'd try to get some at Mokafe. It wasn't too difficult to find street parking, but the cafe was surprisingly busy for a late Sunday night. We placed our order for Adeni Shai, Dubai Knafa Brownie, and a Lotus Biscoff croissant. Everything was delicious. I have never had Yemeni tea before so I didn't have a bar to measure it against. I really enjoyed the tea though my friend said it wasn't exactly what he was looking for. I feel like it could've done with more spices but it still tasted very good. The Dubai Knafa Brownie was excellent. The brownie by itself was nice and moist with the perfect texture for a brownie. The Knafa set it over the top with the crunch and pistachio flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The Lotus Biscoff Croissant was good, but I liked the brownie more. It was about an average croissant but the Biscoff spread added some nice flavor to it. I think it could've used more though. It was buttery and flaky; pillars a of what a croissant should be. However, I'd try another pastry before ordering this again. The place is clean, they play great music, and the service is prompt and friendly. Mokafe is a wonderful Coffee House and I'd love to come back.

Since I couldn't try any churros I left disappointed, with being refunded. I waited a month to give them a second chance and was rather disappointed. Maybe it's the whole automation thing but felt the churros were very forgettable. They were a hard overly sugary mess. The dulce de leche wasn't even that tasty. In the end, I decided the taste wasn't worth the wait to make it nor the caloric intake, I placed it unfinished in the bin. It was really disappointing I really wanted to like this place. When all you do is one thing you should do it right. This place doesn't come close. I would think you might be better off nuking something found at Shop Rite would be better.

I have fine memories of eating chocolate helva from Helvaci Ali in the Kadıköy çarşı in the evening…read more- sometimes as dessert after a meal at Çiya Sofrası before catching a late ferry back to Eminönü. I would argue that Turkish helva is the superior form, better than its Levantine and South Asian counterparts, with a decadent superfine texture covered in oil, typically served with ice cream. The Turkish chain has now opened an outpost in Paterson, NJ, and while they use a bit more oil than I recall being necessary, it's such a pleasure to have access to this sweet again. The environs are a bit sterile inside, with an overuse of the color "mavi," so on a warm night, I'd instead recommend taking your helva to go for a stroll down Palestine way.

Part of that is staying up to date on the new spots in town. I had been watching them renovating and did a bit of research. I found that Helvaci Ali has a rich 100 year history and that this is their second US location. All of that was leading me to want to try it and then a coworker that I recommended Paterson to, returned the favor and told me how good Helvaci Ali was after he tried it. That was the push I needed to walk past my usual favorite dessert spot. (If you come to Paterson often, you'll have a favorite of everything) First things that hit me when I walked in with my daughter was the delightful air conditioning, followed by the stunning decor. Absolutely gorgeous navy blue, with decorative touches and great tables/seating. Next thing that we experienced was incredible service, super pleasant and accommodating staff. They provided samples of the helva and it was love at first bite! Pistachio is always a favorite. They made my daughter and I sundaes with pistachio helva, kunefe topping, and Turkish ice cream. So wonderful! The Turkish ice cream has a unique and lovely texture from a slight thickener that helps it stand up to the heat without melting quickly. That made it ideal for the sundae with the helva. What more can I say other than, add it to my list of Paterson favorites!
