I never eat künefe except this place. When I have an…read moreinternational friend to guide in Istanbul, I always take them to this place. I know this place offers real dessert that you could eat only in Anatolia. that's why Kunefis is one of the best ones to taste Turkish desserts. I haven't eaten foods there but special künefe. It is super uber delicious and fresh and gives the real taste. The service is also so kind and polite. The prices are just average. you'll not regret!

This is a great little spot for some delicious desserts and ice cream. Not to mention a drink of…read moretheir famous milk. I don't usually give 5 stars but this place has friendly staff, serves delicious food and drinks, and has a nice atmosphere, not to mention reasonable prices. This isn't a place to eat food if you're hungry, but it is more of that little place you take your wife or girlfriend to for some desserts and chat. Their milk is famous so I recommend that you buy a bottle and enjoy.

Really wanted pilavüstü döner, delicious!!! The deserts are the specialties, especially kaymaklı ekmek kadayıfı and şekerpare! Böreks are good, but there are better places around. You go to saray for their deserts, and you won't be disappointed.

I had the recent fortune of spending ten days in Istanbul and this small shop was one of the (non-historic site) highlights of the trip. Five of us were visiting from the U.S. and were being shown around by our Turkish friend. The shop has a variety of flavors and the gelato tastes very fresh. I am always impressed by the cream that is used in Europe - it makes everything, dairy based, incredible. I had a chocolate based flavor that was rich with both the cream I mentioned before as well as strong hints of cocoa. The waffle cone was fresh and had a sweetness to it. Admittedly, the waffle cone is one of the better ones in the world, but not unique to Cremeria - the gelato however is - and it is the combination that makes this a stop worth making whether a native or international visitor.

The interior design and atmosphere is incredible, extremely modern yet has the odd telescope or oldtimer to add a bit of flair. Like some other coffee joins, it gives you a card so for buying 10 coffees you get one for free. The only drawback is the location. It's not very easy to get to and the there isn't much of a view. The desserts, while seemingly healthy, you know no glutons, no sugar, no fat, basically anything that makes a dessert tasty, resulted in one of the most dense brownies I've ever tried to eat. So as long as you stay away from the desserts, you should be fine.
