Kakule Kahve

About Kakule Kahve

Kakule Kahve is a coffee shop and bakery on Kızılırmak Caddesi in Kavaklıdere, a few minutes' walk from Kızılay. The business, which describes itself as Kakule Fırın & Kahve, says it was founded in 2016 and is known in Ankara for quality coffee, patisserie and shop design; its company profile also lists a second location on Büklüm Sokak. The coffee magazine Sprudge, in its 2024 Ankara guide, wrote that the café feels more Parisian than Anatolian, from the black-and-white rattan chairs to sea-green accents that even extend to its La Marzocco KB90 espresso machine. The café serves beans from Turkish roasters such as Izmir's Lot Coffee, but Sprudge singled out the French-inspired pastry as the main draw, mentioning a finely piped dacquoise and an apple-pie French toast made with the house brioche, and noted that the café had become a favourite with Ankara's brunch photographers. Coffee directories describe a light, cosy room with outdoor seating, and a menu that covers breakfast plates such as omelettes and French toast, cakes and homemade iced drinks. One recent city guide reports that customers who arrive by bike get their second coffee free. Directories list the café as open from 09:00 until late every day, which makes it a handy stop for breakfast or an afternoon coffee and cake between Kızılay and the shops of Tunalı Hilmi.
