Run, don't walk, to the corner of 6th and Judah in the inner Sunset for Ed's amazing coffee. He has truly outstanding coffee (Turkish, pour over) and affordable treats. He'll remember your name and order after a couple times. If you've got a minute he's got places to sit and plug in and a little book library. Show him some neighborhood love!!

This is a wonderful café with an authentic neighbourhood vibe; the kind and friendly barista/owner, Mr.Ed, takes great care in preparing your drink to your taste. The cafe has fresh savory bites, as well as a well-stocked inventory of liqueurs and wines as well as baklavas to sample or take home.

The owner Ed, is pretty great. I've passed by this place every other week or month and finally decided on taking the plunge to try. Mind you, I'm used to just espresso at home since I make mines from home. Decided to take the plunge and try Turkish coffee. I know with Turkish coffees they're grinded more finer than espresso beans. Ed, as wonder as he is, told me the process and how it's made. I ordered a Turkish latte with a bit of sugar to take the edge off. I also ended up getting some fresh Turkish beans from him to bring home to try (a review for another day).

Hint of cocoa and nuts. I could have gotten it straight black but scared of the amount of caffeine a Turkish brewed coffee would come with. The taste is a bit darker for my liking since me and the wife prefer a lighter or medium roast, but nonetheless it's really good.

Definitely will have to come back next time. And you! Definitely worth trying and stopping by, especially when if you're local. Right down the hill from UCSF Parnassus too.

This is a corner coffee shop that also offers light bites, desserts, a good wine and beverage selection, and some Asian-style specialty snacks. Interesting place.

I stopped by one morning to get breakfast. I didn't realize that their food items are simply pre-packaged food heated up in a microwave. My burrito was a bit small but at least tasty. Service was friendly and very personable.

Juiciest baklava!
Their sign board says best baklava in town, it’s totally TRUE!

This is the most juiciest baklava I had so far.
I tried their trio box of baklava. It had the combo of pistachio and walnut baklava and sesame halwa.

It’s decently priced, each baklava is around 3$ and the trio box is 8$.
Staff is super friendly!

I have to try their Turkish coffee next time!
