What a cute little coffee shop and book store! They had a pretty decent sized menu of coffee drinks. They had cute books all around the store. They had books in both Turkish and English. It had a very fun atmosphere where you could sit and enjoy coffee and books.

A real food pleasure! Cookies are homemade and taste wonderful as well as coffee! Much better that other touristic cafe on the main seaside path. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you are here!

This place is fantastic and the best in Dalyan! Located at the center and very close to the riverside, this coffee shop is unique with its library, including many turkish and english books and comics. Prices are quite reasonable and the cookies are a must try (only 2₺)! Owner is a sweet and friendly person, she helps with my all questions about Dalyan. You should step in for a coffee and cuddle with two lazy cute cats!
