Title: "Proper" Coffee in Calis
Post by: Bluwise on September 08, 2009, 20:48:09 PM
How is the little coffee shop doing near Marias & Irish bar?  I think they had just opened when we were there early July - lovely fresh coffee/cappucinos etc.  That's something I really missed in Calis - some bars were advertising Nescafe like it was something special!  I don't mind it but really love "proper" coffee.  Is there anywhere else besides this little coffee shop that use ground coffee and steam/froth the milk?  It was as good, if not better than Starbucks and Costa coffee for sure.

The Orient in Calis does really good strong Italian coffee (not frothed) but served with hot milk if you ask George

We always think the coffee at Kale Park is really good, the best we have tasted in the area up to now.

Ah a subject close to my heart- I'm a bit anal over coffee! Was told though didnt try the Orient coffee is Illey and very good. Blue bar in Fethiye excellent as was the little coffee shop on the corner of Megri square- individual cafetieres. Happened to call in Pies and Pastrys in Calis next to Scarletts and had a fab coffee there too- typically on our last day!

I am also one who seeks out coffee of the highest standard, and always ended up at Cafe Oley for the best. Mind you, coffee in 30-40 degree summer temperatures wouldn't be of interest to me at all.

Good coffee also to be had at Cafe Cafe in the arcade leading from the fish market towards the Paspatur, ie behind the clothes shop with a dodgy line in currency exchange

If you`re going to open a café, what better name to call it than "café café"    :D

So have any of you coffee-lovers tried the new coffee place opposite Maria's?  just wondering how they are doing as they told us they had recently opened when we we there in early July - great for a caffeine fix before the dolmus home.

Just ask for a large one Jenny - like anything else. I used to find a lunchtime pide not quite enough and two way too much. On explaining this I got bemused looks all round and "why don't you order one and a half then?"

Simple really :D

We fancied an iced coffee when visiting Kale Park last October.  It wasn't on the menu and were gobsmacked when charged 20 TL for the 2.  Tasted lovely but never again at that price.

The reason most of the coffee, and tea, tastes terrible in Calis and Fethiye is that the water quality is just too hard and needs softening a bit. Doesn't matter what machine or brand of coffee you use hard water will kill it every time. There is a lot to making and keeping coffee tasting good but basically hard water gives you next to no chance.

Ozsut on the harbour Front is my favourite, also Illy is a top brand but Lavazza is Italy's number one in the home. I have found that, as with the UK, coffee is everywhere these days but good coffee is still hard to find but I love a good coffee all the same.

Anyway....

as a lot of CBF members are going to Istanbul this year then my mum says that the coffee at Kahve Dünyasi (Coffee World) a Turkish franchaise is the business!

There don't appear to be addresses of the branches on their web site but there is one very close to the Grand Bazaar and another virtually opposite the Kabitas tram line (not sea side).

You get given a bowl of milk/bitter and white chocolate covered coffee beans (there may be some pistashios in there too).

Cakes are really yummy and they also sell loads of super chocolates and have a range of iced coffees.
