Cafe in Alaçatı

A small, coffee-only room that fresh-roasts and means it

Three generations of Aegean mastic worked off one Ugur Mumcu counter since 1945, sakizli dondurma, kurabiye and jams from the source

The village's actual modern-brunch answer: smoothie bowls and detox pours in a bohemian Çamlık garden, not a buffet line in disguise

The original sakızlı muhallebi house, the recipe the rest of the country has spent twenty years trying to copy

The Demirel family's handmade Alaçatı patisserie, a quiet bakery counter the village uses for birthdays it actually means

Nas and Cem's 2019 boulangerie-bistro on 12047, proper viennoiserie, hand-made sandwiches and a Tuesday day off

The Akbulut family's 2014 Alaçatı gelato counter, a Financial Times top-25 boutique, a hundred-and-fifty rotating flavours, made on site every morning

Tomris Maravent's 2004 corner café, the steady Alaçatı pulse, eight tables that grew into the village living room
