Simply Amazing - Edit
First of all, I have been a customer of this place since 2014, and I gotta say, the place has always been warm and home-like. It has the appearance of a nice modern coffee shop, but it is way more than that. I have tried all the food on the menu and nearly all the coffee drinks and other drinks as well, and again, I gotta say, they are all always delicious and enjoyable. This place has been a constant go to for me, and I highly recommend the place for anybody to try =)

Marvelous - Edit
Place has it's unique menu with added twists on traditional dishes. The best part though is that they have a goal of rescuing animals and they spend their earnings on that matter. My favourite was "Mantı" which is a classical Turkish food.

What a finding! - Edit
The place is a small, cozy café/ restaurant. The owner cooks food herself. Is amazingly delicious and affordable. The cheesecake is to die for! She also takes care of steeet animals. This place is a must when you are in Izmir.

Budget friendly, cute and cozy place in the middle of the Küçükpark - Edit
The cafe is located in the center of the Küçükpark, it was very easy to find. The atmosphere was worth seeing. There were rescued cats and dogs everywhere. The owner takes good care of all the rescued animals by all means. The falafel burger I tried had a soft tasty chickpea patty rather than a crispy falafel. The place is considerably cheaper in comparison to any other cafes in İzmir. I am looking forward to going and trying some more from the diverse vegan menu in this cute small cozy cafe.

Elinazik - Edit
Such a cosy place with great design. I appreciate the work that the owner does. She (the owner) is very friendly and congenial. She’s so skilled in cooking. I recommend the Elinazik which is the vegan version of a Turkish traditional food. Also she helps the animals which are injured. I hope she continues helping animals.
