Cheap coffee and cake by the KTU gates

Skip the campus canteen. This one's steps from the Karadeniz Technical University gates, and the coffee-and-cake crowd found it within weeks of it opening. Prices are set for students, not tourists.

It's packed between lectures, with people balancing trays and textbooks. Go on a weekend instead, when the window seats actually open up.

I think it just opened across from the KTU Library. It's a very nice, clean cafe. You can drink delicious coffee at fresh prices. I didn't see any desserts, so I guess they don't have any. They only have pasta dishes and sandwiches. I had pasta; my plate was very full and delicious. The staff were also hospitable. However, it's a bit small; I couldn't find a place to sit. The location says it closes at 10 pm, but they close at 8 pm; they said that because there aren't any students working during the summer program.

It's a lovely place with a sweet atmosphere where I can comfortably sit during breaks between classes. Their sandwiches are delicious and filling. I'd say their coffee is among the best you can find on campus. I regularly buy filter coffee there to brew at home too. I highly recommend it; you won't regret it. It's also very nice that they value customer feedback and reviews and use them to improve themselves. :)

It's a nice place with a pleasant atmosphere and good coffee. They have suitable areas for studying/working on computers (edit: studying is no longer allowed in the main branch). The pasta at the campus branch is very good.

The staff were friendly, but the prices weren't reasonable. The atmosphere was very stuffy; I wanted to leave as soon as possible. It wasn't a warm environment; it was coldly decorated.

We went late. The tea was fresh and delicious. The filter coffee was quite good again. We were also pleased with the desserts we had. The atmosphere of the place is quite unique, the record detail is really nice. They play any record (LP) you want. The selection is high quality. Overall, we as a team were very satisfied. Even though we went late (almost closing time), our waiters were very attentive and friendly. The decor is unique, the products and service are high quality, and from what I saw, it's a well-managed business. I hope it maintains its standards.
