Rumeli Pastanesi
The 1945 İnkılap Caddesi corner where damla sakızlı dondurma was invented, a Mersin family pastane now in its third generation

$ Great value for Cafe

| Last reviewed: May 2026 Osman Mersin opened the shop in 1945 with the dowry furniture his wife Şadiye brought from her village; the same summer his vanilla ran out and he reached for the mastic resin Çeşme's groves still produced, and damla sakızlı dondurma was born on this counter. Eighty years on, his grandsons Ali and Osman work the marble slab, the salep is still real, the ice cream is still cut by hand, and the queue down İnkılap to Halkbank hasn't shortened. Not a souvenir stop, the source.
Editor's Tip
Order the sakızlı in a cup, not a cone, the texture reads better. The fındıklı and vişneli are made the same morning; skip the chocolate. Walk in before noon or after 22:00 if you want the counter to yourself.
