İmren Helva ve Tatlı Evi

About İmren Helva ve Tatlı Evi

İmren Helva ve Tatlı Evi is a dessert house and café on Kemalpaşa Caddesi in Alaçatı, run by a family of dessert makers. Visit İzmir, the official tourism site of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, says the İmren business has kept up the helva and dessert making it began in 1941 using traditional techniques, and today trades under the names Alaçatı Tatlıcısı İmren, Alaçatı İmren Helva Tatlı Evi and Sakızlım. It also calls the café one of the favourites of Alaçatı for its well-known breakfast and its own gourmet dishes, with the traditionally made desserts and helva among the sought-after tastes of the village. On its own website the family says it has passed the craft from grandfather to grandson, following the advice never to serve others what you would not eat yourself.
