Lil Bake Istanbul
Lovely spot for a sweet snack
Lil Bake is a small and lovely spot in the heart of Moda. The interior is very small with a few tables but thanks to the use of dominantly white color in the design, it looks wider than it is. It also has a small outdoor seating area at the back of the cafe. Luckily, they have recently opened another branch with a large outdoor area near the Yoğurtçu Park.
It is worth ordering any of their pastries. My favorite was the pistachio Paris breast until I tasted their croissants; now I can't decide. "Medovik" is also preferred among the loyal locals. After sampling their expansive and charming display of sweet offerings, you might be tempted to visit daily. Along with the delicious pastries, they serve good quality coffee. Lil Bake also has savory snacks and breakfast options on the menu. I haven't tried the breakfast yet, but I have seen many locals stop by Lil Bake on Sunday mornings. You can check out the menu on their Instagram page.
