Hafiz Mustafa 1864

The most wonderful cafe I've been to so far. Indulgent soft vibrant flavours and delicious warming tea. The staff was so nice and the owner was the sweetest guy. Would definitely recommend for visitors.

A true baklava paradise! The best I’ve ever had—everyone needs to try it at least once. Their tea is also fantastic, perfectly complementing the dessert. The customer service is outstanding despite how busy it gets. They have enough staff to ensure every customer feels well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Hafiz Mustafa - A Must-Visit for Authentic Turkish Sweets Our first visit to Hafiz Mustafa was to buy baklava for a friend and we were instantly captivated by the charm and quality of this iconic Turkish sweet shop. It didn’t take long for us to return, this time to buy baklava as gifts for our family members. The shop offers an impressive variety of traditional Turkish desserts, making it a paradise for dessert lovers. What truly stood out during our visits was their exceptional customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive and always ready to assist, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience. If you plan to purchase more than 1 kg of baklava, they generously provide testers, allowing you to sample the flavours and choose your favourites. It’s a thoughtful touch that ensures you leave with exactly what you love. The baklava itself is outstanding—perfectly balanced in sweetness, with crisp layers of pastry and rich fillings of pistachios or walnuts. Each piece feels like a true labor of love, crafted with the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. Hafiz Mustafa isn’t just a shop; it’s an experience that showcases the best of Turkish culinary tradition. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or simply treating yourself, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely return!

What an amazing experience it was to visit Hafiz Mustafa for the first time and in Istanbul. Myself and my husband had a beautiful welcome and we were looked after by Hassan. His hospitality was perfect. The desserts were delicious. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a beautiful experience. 🥰🫶🏼🇹🇷

The sweets here are unique and exceptionally delicious. I can highly recommend them—the long wait was absolutely worth it. The staff is very friendly, and the store is impeccably clean.

Amazing desserts! Felt very fancy but the prices were reasonable. The chocolate Kunefe was unique but very tasty. The baklava cake was delicious. Wouldn’t recommend getting both as I was too full after the cake. Very rich dessert. Worth the hype around this spot. Staff were very attentive. This location had many seating upstairs.

Very busy and if you like baklava you’ll love it. I certainly liked it, not too bad prices. The tres leche cake wasn’t what I expected, it’s ok. I went twice so pictures from both visits.

The people there were too friendly and hospitable - took ample time to make us try most of the Turkish delight varieties before we pick. Their baklava’s and kunafeh was outstanding.
