Tulip Cafe has had a steady presence at area farmer\u2019s markets and with its small storefront on the Northwest side of Columbus, but they\u2019ve just opened a brand new expansion that offers more seating and a larger menu of sweets, drinks, and breakfast or lunch items!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

They built out the cafe into the storefront next to them, so now they have a full dining room that easily seats 30-40 people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The new counters display all the baked goods and a little chocolate fountain. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The cases are full of all sorts of Turkish goodies, all made from scratch in-house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re familiar with Tulip Cafe from local farmers markets (we know them from the Worthington Farmers Market), you\u2019ll recognize some of their standards on the shelves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For every kid who read Chronicles of Narnia<\/em> growing up, you can finally taste real Turkish delight!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I\u2019m partial to their Nutella cookies, personally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that if you want to try the viral Dubai chocolate bar<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find it at Tulip Cafe!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Of course, I\u2019m immediately drawn to their expanded menu that includes Turkish breakfast dishes and coffee! The new breakfast offerings are available until noon each day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

First things first: coffee. You can order up a Turkish coffee<\/strong>, which is served with a small glass of water and a bite of Turkish delight. Turkish coffee is very finely ground and brewed right in the cup, so you drink most of it down while leaving the grounds at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

No meal is complete without tea, which is served with a few of the breakfast dishes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

First off on the breakfast menu is the simit plate<\/strong>, which features sesame-crusted simit that\u2019s filled with small pieces of soft cheese and served with a platter of brined cheese, tomatoes, olives, hard-boiled eggs, and peppers. Similar to this is the Turkish bagel<\/strong>, which is covered in sesame seeds and served with the same sides. (The photos above and below combine both of those plates.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The breads both have a wonderful crust to them, sturdy while still easily pulling apart with a butter knife. The owners recommended cutting and opening pieces of the breads and filling them with the cheese, olives, or vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Both plates also come with servings of soft, white cheese drenched in honey. Save bites of the Turkish bagel to dip in it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The expanded cafe also allows for a full Italian-style espresso menu, with a handful of specialty drinks. I can vouch for the brown sugar latte<\/strong>. It\u2019s lovely!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Be sure to save bites of your bread for the menemen<\/strong>, a classic Turkish breakfast of eggs scrambled with tomatoes, peppers, and onions, served with a side of bread and tea. It\u2019s delightfully rich, and probably the first thing I\u2019ll get on our next visit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Speaking of rich, the mihlama<\/strong> combines gooey cheese with corn flour and olive oil, then cooked up in the pan until the edges are brown. It\u2019s definitely one to share!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

But if you\u2019re really into the sweets, be sure to visit their new chocolate fountain! There\u2019s a literal fountain in one corner of the counter that pours warm chocolate, and it\u2019s used as the base for build-your-own desserts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A small menu details the options. First you choose your base, from slices of cake to tart shells to cream puffs \u2013 or try the recommended Turkish ice cream, a thick and lightly sweet confection made from goat\u2019s milk. They\u2019ll pour the chocolate over it, and then you choose the toppings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

There are a variety of nuts, fruits, drizzles, and other additions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

And very soon you\u2019ll have your own custom dessert!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Congrats to owner Hatice, her daughter Eslem, and their whole team on the newly upgraded cafe! We\u2019ll surely be back for coffee, pastries, breakfast, and dessert.<\/p>\n

Tulip Cafe is open Sunday, Tuesday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
