A
Gizem Cafe & Patisserie
This snazzy pastry shop with polished surrounds is something of a treasure-trove for carb-lovers, with lots of ravishing cakes, baklavas and ice creams. The upstairs salon is a good place to make eye contact (and eye contact only) with Turkish students of both sexes, here to enjoy the atmosphere, gossip and giggle. And if you travel with a laptop (and we're guessing you do), you'll be pleased to know that it has free wi-fi access.

Ulker Fırın & Café
Take care not to over-order at this thoroughly modern bakery, which is packed with both traditional and nontraditional Turkish sweets - the tiny pieces of şöbiyet (walnut curd) and fistıklı (pistachio)baklava are significantly more filling than they first appear. It's close to Plaza Cinemas.

Next door to its brother cafe, the Simge Pastanesi ve Simit Dünyasi, Simgecan Pastanesi is one of the best patisseries in town. There's a good selection of pastries, cakes and Turkish puddings. The baklava is delicious.

Orkide
Renowned as the city's finest pastane (patisserie), Orkide is also an elegant space to enjoy the best brunch (TL25) in town. Look forward to a mouthwatering spread of local cheeses, jams, honey and salads, all partnered with warm and fluffy flatbread, and including the finest katmer we've ever tried. Turn north along Gazimuhtarpaşa Bulvarı 400m west of the tourist information office.

Katmerci Murat
The best entertainment of your day could be watching the graceful actions of Murat's head pastry chef as he transforms a compact ball of dough into a plate of gossamer-light katmer, layered with clotted cream and nuts, and topped with a sprinkling of green pistachios.
