Alaköy Pastanesi

The original sakızlı muhallebi house, the recipe the rest of the country has spent twenty years trying to copy

Tomris Maravent's 2004 corner café, the steady Alaçatı pulse, eight tables that grew into the village living room

Nas and Cem's 2019 boulangerie-bistro on 12047, proper viennoiserie, hand-made sandwiches and a Tuesday day off

The Akbulut family's 2014 Alaçatı gelato counter, a Financial Times top-25 boutique, a hundred-and-fifty rotating flavours, made on site every morning

The 1945 İnkılap Caddesi corner where damla sakızlı dondurma was invented, a Mersin family pastane now in its third generation

Hacımemiş's mulberry-tree corner since 1963, the village's classical Turkish coffee bench, untouched by the specialty wave
