Traditional patisserie and legendary sundaes in Kadıköy
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed April 2026
Operating since 1923, Baylan is famous for Kup Griye — the caramelized almond ice cream dessert invented in 1954 by pastry chef Harry Lenas. Now an Istanbul culinary icon, the patisserie maintains the same recipes and atmosphere that have made it a pilgrimage destination for dessert lovers for a century.
Editor's Tip
Order the Kup Griye — that's the entire reason a century-old patisserie is still on the map — and one classic milföy. Avoid the modern additions to the menu; the kitchen is at its best with the 1954 originals. The Kadıköy branch is the original; the others are echoes. Mid-afternoon for the calmer room.
