Kahve Dünyasi is a huge coffee bar chain in Turkey, with 200 stores. If you imagine Starbucks melted into a mid-range chocolatier, you're on the right track.
This first London store is heavily branded in the US way, rather than charming in the Anatolian way; but once you get over the shock of stepping into a huge café that's decorated like a chocolate box, its appeal quickly becomes obvious. It's cheap, and there are great cakes and coffees.
A long counter displays an orgy of chocolates and chocolate desserts: truffles, chocolate-coated marzipan, Turkish delights, novelty chocolates. It's all just too choc-tastic, but the ones we tried - a brownie, and a mozaic cake - were both excellent quality, and also incredibly well priced at under £3 each.
The coffees are another strong card in their hand. The Turkish coffee was strong, dark and bitter, as it should be; and the huge mug of milk coffe with salep, a thickener made from a type of orchid root that's popular in Turkey, was rich and viscous, like a good quality hot chocolate.
The sandwiches are not great, and the service was a total muddle on our visit in the first fortnight. But with prices like this, great coffee and cakes and a location so close to Piccadilly Circus, we didn't see anyone complaining.
