Gahwa Café

Great Turkish coffee in the Jacksonville area.

We arrived around 8pm on a Saturday, and were greeted by the friendly owner who gave us great recommendations.
Being first time Turkish coffee drinkers, he kindly explained the entire process and taught is how to drink it.

We liked the Salahb so much, we ordered two more to go! This is a delicious, coconut and cinnamon flavor creamy sort of dessert. Served hot in a cup, and topped with nuts, it is delicious.

Baklava was fresh and tasty.

We want to try the Coconut Bomb cake next time. We couldn't try it since they were out of it.

It's definitely a Turkish cafe and has got good ambience and seems like it's taken care of pretty well. They are known for their Turkish coffee but it was just okay to me
I even ordered the kunafa and it was pretty stale.
Their food can be a lot better
The karak chai wasnt too bad either.
Good service, owner though.

The mint lemonade might be the best lemonade I've ever had. And the Turkish coffee with cardamom flavor, boiled on hot sand, is delicious. Just ask to be made with less sugar, because it supposed to be very sweet. The charcuterie board was good, but knowing this type of cuisine, I think the choice of cheeses and olives was not very authentic.

This place is just around the corner. Thoughtfully decorated. We ordered charcuterie board, various flavored coffee and dessert. Please keep in mind, if you order flavored coffee, it will be very sweet! Owner had a great sense of humor and a good advice skills. We liked dessert being not that sweet.

This place is amazing! I saw a review in a local Facebook group about them, and decided to check them out. Everything we tried was delicious! I’ve never really had Turkish coffee til now, and it’s pretty good! The owners are super sweet as well! Also, this place sell some of the coffee/tea sets as well! Will be coming back, and with more people too
