We went to a pastry shop for tea, on the advice of the seller we took a milfey and a "meringue roll with strawberries", the milfey turned out to be not tasty, the cream was like chewing gum, it was not very tasty, and a sponge cake was used instead of meringue. In short, the typical desserts of an average Turkish hotel) didn't go anywhere and didn't taste good at all. I don't recommend it.

Not bad, but not wow. Macaroons are very chemical, they also took biscuits with pistachio and coconut, they gave off a strong taste of butter. In general, the choice of desserts is good, there are both European desserts and Turkish ones. But compared to other pastry shops here, they probably wouldn't have come here a second time.

this pastry shop was recommended by the staff of the restaurant near our hotel, they said that it had one of the best cheesecakes in the area, it really turned out to be delicious , they also took a dessert with strawberries, they thought that it was just for decoration, the result was a little sponge cake, a lot of cream and even more amazing strawberries!!

We visited this cafe about 6 times in 2 years. There have always been great desserts. I would like to mention the friendly staff. By the evening, the assortment is significantly reduced, because the institution is in great demand and the goodies are sold with a bang. I recommend visiting this place and definitely try milfey with strawberries!

Positive: The staff is nice. He speaks English. The cakes are delicious and the prices are average. We went for San Sebastian cheesecake - delicious Minuses: The croissant is dry. Cappuccino is not cappuccino, superheated without foam, regular coffee and milk. Macaroons are just different colors, they all taste the same.

We were in April . The choice is random. We went in and didn't regret it. Tired of traditional Turkish sweets, we saw European cakes in the window and went to drink coffee. The cakes arrived. Portions the size of a pound and a half! I have a terrible sweet tooth, but I couldn't finish eating, I gave my husband a third. Everything we liked was fresh, light, and tender.I took off the star for two things -1. They forgot about us. We realized this when we served everyone who came in after us. Desserts were brought immediately, but coffee had to wait. 2. The toilet. One booth for all cafes.It's small, but there are a lot of people.

It's a good place. There is a large selection, there are both traditional Turkish sweets, and more familiar ones with sponge cake / cream / fruits. You can also order non-sweet pies, simit or sandwiches. The prices are good. The staff is pleasant. I recommend

A large selection of desserts for every taste! We are glad that we found this coffee shop. You can see all the desserts in the window. There were 5 of us, we tried different things and everything was delicious. And the prices for the center are surprisingly pleasant! There is a toilet.

Only pleasant memories)) . It's a good place. Baklava is super. We tried a different one every day. When they got tired of trying sweets, they switched to rolls with cheese and meat.If I come to Istanbul again, I will definitely go there again. The staff is sincere. Everyone tells me, they are very sociable guys. The tea is harsh and tart with a velvety taste. As it should be traditional. Turkish coffee is also with the expected aroma and taste. In general, we really liked it. The name seems to translate as crocus. In general, I can say that Sigdem was one of the brightest parts of our gastronomic tour. I want to go back))))!!!!

Excellent pastry shop, always fresh and lots of visitors. The institution has been operating since 1961. There is a Russian-speaking staff. Very convenient location at the T1 bus stop in the very center of the city. We have been here three times during the trip (we stopped by on purpose).
