Coming from California with hundreds of unique coffee and matcha spots, I was excited to see that…read morepeople raved about the coffee and matcha here. Their matcha here isn't even comparable to any of the spots in California. You are being scammed. Too much milk. Not enough matcha. No earthiness to their matcha. Just tastes like sweetened milk with bits of grassiness if I am being completely honest. To top it off, the customer service is terrible here. The barista couldn't even be bothered to smile or ask how you are doing. Almost felt like an inconvenience ordering from her. Ordered my drink for dine-in and I would rather just grab my drink myself than watch them set it down haphazardly on the tables. The ambiance is great and I see why it can be a great study spot, however, I can't justify the poor customer service and subpar drinks to come back here.

I dropped by Shaghf Cafe for the first time to catch up with family. Based on the name, we were…read moreexpecting more ethnic or specialty-style coffee, but that wasn't quite the case. The beverage menu felt very Americanized and on the pricier side (think Starbucks-level pricing). That said, the décor was beautiful. I paid $4 for a black coffee; there was nothing special about it. My niece and nephew enjoyed their Strawberry Matcha and Mango lattes (each over $8). I tried the Nutella hot chocolate, which was too sweet for my taste, though I'm sure Nutella lovers would enjoy it. The walnut-topped cheesecake (around $8) was creamy but also leaned overly sweet for me.

My chocolate croissant was not, it was disappointing, I wouldn't order it again. The other negative was that we didn't really like their Turkish coffee, theirs was different (my reference point is from having it in Turkey). When my friend said something, the barista seemed to be annoyed with her. Additionally, my coffee was not as hot as I'd like.

The Ottoman Empire Revived: A Remarkable Culinary Experience at Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café…read more For quite some time, I had been driving past Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café, curious about what awaited inside. Having experienced what I considered the finest Turkish kebab in Atlanta, Georgia, I admittedly arrived with high expectations. I left realizing those expectations had not only been met--they had been exceeded. My meal began with a choice of either a soft drink or traditional Turkish tea included with the combination platter. Opting for the tea turned out to be one of the best decisions of the afternoon. Delicate, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, it carried subtle floral notes of lavender that elevated it from a simple beverage to an experience in itself. Every sip was elegant and memorable. For my entrée, I selected the "3 in 1" combination, featuring chicken kebab, steak kebab, and a ground meat kebab. The presentation was exceptional and reflected the care that clearly goes into every dish. Accompanying the kebabs were a beautifully grilled tomato, a serving of what appeared to be seasoned barley, a grilled jalapeño pepper, and a vibrant red onion salad dressed with olive oil, vinegar, and what I believe was sumac, all accented with fresh mint. Each protein was executed flawlessly. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, demonstrating a mastery of both cooking technique and spice balance. The ground meat kebab, reminiscent of an exceptional döner preparation, was rich, succulent, and bursting with complex flavors that unfolded beautifully on the palate. The true standout, however, was the steak kebab. If it wasn't filet mignon, it certainly rivaled it in tenderness. Expertly charred on the outside while maintaining a medium-rare interior with a delicate ruby-red center, it delivered everything one could hope for in a premium cut of beef. Each bite was remarkably tender, practically melting in the mouth while offering deep, smoky flavor from the grill. What impressed me most was how every component on the plate contributed to a cohesive dining experience. Nothing felt like an afterthought. From the tea to the garnishes, every detail reflected authenticity, craftsmanship, and pride. I do not offer this praise lightly: this was, without question, the finest meal I have enjoyed in Michigan in at least the last two years. During my visit, I jokingly told the owner that whenever asked what my last meal would be, my answer had always been Eggs Benedict--my longtime favorite dish. After dining at Galata, however, I would have to seriously reconsider that answer. The meal was that good. If you appreciate authentic cuisine, expertly prepared meats, and a dining experience that transports you far beyond your surroundings, Galata Turkish Cuisine & Café deserves a place at the top of your list. This is not merely a restaurant--it is a celebration of Turkish culinary tradition. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I highly recommend their chicken and beef kebabs -- both were incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of rich, authentic flavor. The texture and taste were spot‑on. I also treated myself to the famous Turkish dessert katmer served with Maraş ice cream (made from goat milk), and it was absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a place that can deliver such high‑quality, traditional Turkish flavors with this level of authenticity. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and beautifully decorated, making it a great spot for anyone who values both excellent food and a welcoming dining experience. I definitely plan to return with my family. It's a hidden gem, and in my experience -- after trying restaurants across Germany, France, and England -- this place truly meets international quality standards. Definitely a must‑try for anyone who loves great food and genuine Turkish cuisine.

The menu wasn't just your typical coffee shop menu. It has unique items like the Cloud Menu (didn't try but sounds interesting!), collagen matcha latte, coffles (croissants baked in a waffle iron and stuffed with a variety of flavorful things), and Spanish latte (a sweet cold foam so it's not quite as sweet as using syrup - it was delicious!). I got the caramel frappe and the friendly barista offered to put in an espresso shot since there wasn't coffee in it. So sweet! I appreciated that it didn't cost extra. The only negative I have to say is that the prices were a bit higher than other coffee shops (about $1-2 more per size/drink). Overall, a great place!
