Simit is a ring-shaped bread with a crisp, sesame-covered crust and a soft centre. It belongs just as comfortably in your hand on the way somewhere as it does on a breakfast table.

Start simply. Tear off a piece, add a little white cheese, and take a sip of tea. There is no special occasion required.

At Börek Simit Cafe, this everyday ritual is the starting point for our idea of a café: good bread, a warm welcome, and time to make yourself comfortable.
