Simit is a traditional Turkish bagel found on every corner in Turkey. Finally made its way to Toronto! You can have it plain or with cream cheese and olive tapenade with a side of Turkish tea!
- Selena AlyseMarch 20, 2018Trendy café on King St W. Beautiful marble tables contrast with brick walls and wooden benches. Quiet in the early morning with lots of seating. A perfect place to work or study.
Jay SansmanMarch 19, 2016I got their last simits before they sold out for the day. Ha Ha! This place is exactly what we needed in our neighbourhood! Owners Dee and John are the nicest people and the food is amazingly FRESH!
Autumn M.May 9, 2016This place is amazing! I'm still dreaming of their simit. So fresh and tasty with many choices for fillings! 🙆
Michael KatzOctober 6, 2019Much has been shared about this awesome cafe. Consider grabbing a chunk of their feta cheese in the cold display as it is excellent! Love this place!- Buket UzunerJanuary 26, 2019Simit the Turkish bagel is very fresh, crispy and delicious. “Menemen” ( Shakshuka) is healthy and worth trying.
- Mujde McGuireDecember 7, 2019Simits are really good and fresh. I love to eat simit with cheese 😋 also don’t forget to drink Turkish tea.
RMarch 9, 2019visit earlier in the day cause desserts are finishing quickly. good selection of turkish tea, though they do not have sahlep :(. date square on the picture, quite tasty
- Holly SchneiderMarch 19, 2016Amazing atmosphere and nicest owners ever. We tried their famous simit today (my employees have been talking about it for days now!) and oh my god, this is my new obsession! Highly recommended!!
- Bob TempleMarch 19, 2016We were scared to walk in on a saturday since it was so busy,but we left with nothing but comfort.Despite the huge lineup, the owners and staff handled everything like champs.We love you Simit&Chai!
Cole ToneJanuary 14, 2017The Simit is excellent, my fav is The Original and the Posiedon. Turkish coffee and tea are fantastic too.
Besma SolimanMay 26, 2017Latte made with Turkish coffee is amazing! We loved the beef simit and also the one with basturma
- Rob IacoccaJune 25, 2016The Turkish coffee is good, but the bagel... Oh the house bagel is delicious. The Owners and staff are seriously nice too, which is a great bonus.
Try the traditional white poppy seed muffins with Turkish coffee, add a little bit of sugar. It's perfect!
- Mike JAugust 2, 2017Terrific Turkish bagel (simit), tried it with tomatoes/feta. Reasonable prices. Really great service. Wasn't as crazy about the pastries, a little too dry for my taste.
The simit... Wow. Amazing spot, the Turkish latte is just perfect!
Simran DassJune 20, 2022Love love love their bagels!! I got the turkey one and it did not disappoint
nereyekacsak.comMay 6, 2016Simit is as tasty as it is in Turkey. Try the one with feta cheese and tomato. Nice interior. And the owner couple are so cool. If I lived in Toronto,I would definetly come here almost every morning.
🌚 Derin Su & Söğüt 🌝 🍄🟫 Fırat & Güleç 🌊November 17, 2018Avocado on a Turkish bagel (simit) with Turkish tea 😋
Their feta is out of this world! Try their original simit and feta acma :-)
Oz GunalDecember 28, 2016Trendy, cozy, lively, friendly, family,Turkish, simit, tea, coffee, pastries.
Carlos SpicyWSeptember 16, 2016Nice place. Good coffee and tea. But the food is on the expensive side. $$$$
Ezgi KılıcJuly 2, 2020The personnel is not using a mask, when asked, the reaction was “it is not required by law, yet” WOW! Borek is too greasy and simit does not taste good (try Uno simit). And everything is overpriced 😡- Bob KJune 6, 2016Good coffee but the renomé is too inflated. Cakes are good. In Europe this would be an average café: waiter was too busy chatting up a Turkish chick - had to fetch my order instead of him!
- Kapil BhutadaNovember 27, 2016Didn't like the Turkish bagel but the date square and Turkish latte is nice
Dicle SezerMay 14, 2016İlk defa geldiğim bir mekandan mutlu oldum. Bu çevrede hele ki türk kahvaltı ve fırın tatları istiyorsanız durmayın. I strongly recommend :)
