About Sevinç Pastanesi

Sevinç Pastanesi is one of İzmir's best-known patisseries, at the Alsancak entrance to Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi, the neighbourhood's busy pedestrian street. It has been run by the Pelit family since 1957. According to the patisserie, the family began in the trade in 1946 at a patisserie in Zonguldak and learned the craft from masters trained at İstanbul's Moskova Pastanesi. They moved to İzmir in 1954, first opening Ülkü Pastanesi on Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi, then Sevinç Pastanesi in 1957. Today the business also has a counter in the Gıda Çarşısı food market in Konak and a branch in Çeşme. The shop is known for its cakes, pastries and biscuits. Products it highlights include its own pavlova, tiramisu, paskalya çöreği Easter bread and torpil. Food writers at Culinary Backstreets list it among the city's patisseries worth seeking out, and it is a classic meeting point in Alsancak for tea, coffee and something sweet.
