About Cafe Şölen

Cafe Şölen is a long-established patisserie and café on Mustafa Kemal Caddesi in the centre of Bornova. Visit İzmir, the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality's tourism portal, says it was founded in Bornova in 1976 and has been in the pastry business ever since, and the café's own website calls it Bornova's taste stop that has not changed since 1976. Its best-known speciality, according to Visit İzmir, is köstebek pasta, the mole cake. The café's own product range is wide: cream cakes and individual pastries, baklava, börek, cheesecake, homemade biscuits and savoury bakes, croissants, macarons, milk puddings, ice cream and ice-cream cakes, and a line of speciality chocolates. It also serves breakfast. The Bornova shop is the original. The café's social media lists further branches at Evka 3, in Bayraklı and at Folkart Life, and Visit İzmir also lists a branch in Narlıdere. It is a classic Bornova address for a coffee and cake or for buying a celebration cake.
