Alsancak Dostlar Fırını

Rate:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic spot for authentic Turkish breakfast! Their specialty, Boyoz, is simply amazing — perfectly crisp and flaky on the outside with delicious fillings inside. The flavors are rich yet balanced, and surprisingly well-suited to Asian taste preferences. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try a true local delicacy.

The boyoz here is absolutely perfect – soft inside, crispy outside, and full of authentic Izmir flavor. If you’re in Alsancak, Dostlar Fırını is the best place to enjoy this local specialty. A must-try!

Alsancak Dostlar Fırını is a must-visit bakery in İzmir! I tried their vegan boyoz options contain aubergine , artichoke, and aegean herbs, and they were absolutely delicious—flaky, flavorful, and fresh. The staff is friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try authentic and vegan-friendly pastries!

Review of Dostlar Firini coffee shop Izmir tues 17 Dec 24 Had traditional Turkish tea Served variety of pies Always busy for fresh on the go pies or just a Turkish tea Seating inside and outside watching the crowd pass by Friendly staff

Very fast service, almost no waiting time. You have to list your order twice, once to eat and later to pay. There are 16 sorts of boyoz including sweet ones. The shop is well located on the most vibrant street on İzmir. Boyoz is the local defining food of izmir, structure like börek and is good for breakfast, brunch or even lunch.

The best and most famous boyoz shop in Izmir. They have a nice variety of boyoz. My favorite are pastirma, minced meat, and chocolate ones. The rest is ok but some of them have a little stuffing like the mozzarella cheese one which has a very little amount of cheese in it. Don’t forget to order their special kahvaltilik sauce and tulum cheese. Have a tea and enjoy 🫖

Wanted to try the Boyoz, and I got so happy I did Many different fillings Tried one with spinach, one with mozzarella and spices, and one with chocolate All are delicious Highly Recommended

Inexpensive pastries that make for a nice breakfast. I had to wait in line for about three minutes. Among the flavors: spinach, spinach and cheese, mozzarella, chocolate. 50 Liras each as of August 2025, 25 liras for a cup of tea, 100 Litas for a limonata. You get the pastries at the counter. They bring the drinks to the table. Happy customer. 5 stars!

This place specializes in everything boyoz, which is a flaky pastry particular of Izmir (originally of Sephardic Jewish origin), which may be confused with the more traditional borek that you can get anywhere else in Turkey but they're not the same thing. The dough has a slight resemblance to the flakiness of a croissant but it's a lot denser and flakier. You can get plain, savory and sweet boyoz. They essentially can fill these pastries with all kinds of things like minced meat, cheese, spinach, sweet tahini, etc. We tried both the minced meat and the sweet tahini boyoz, both were good but the meat one was the best. The sweet tahini was tasty but a bit too much for me to eat in one pastry.
