" What a delightful café experience! Gahwa Café has stolen my heart with its cozy charm! From Turkish coffee to their incredible baklava, every bite was a taste of heaven. The owner made me feel right at home with his hospitality, and I felt like I got a glimpse of Turkish culture. I’m definitely coming back for more! I highly recommend this place for coffee and dessert lovers alike! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gahwa Café for brunch last weekend and absolutely loved it! The interior is beautifully designed, contributing to a magical experience. My eggs were perfectly cooked, served with warm, fluffy pita bread. The Turkish coffee was rich and aromatic. My only quibbles were that the service was quite slow, and the portions felt a bit small. However, the flavors were worthwhile, so I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gahwa Café is a feast for the senses! The decor is stunning, feeling like a slice of Turkey. I was blown away by the quality of the Turkish coffee and couldn't get enough of the baklava—both were perfectly prepared. The service was quick, and the staff was delightful. However, I felt that some items on the menu didn’t quite match the authentic vibe of the café. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I will surely come back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard so much about Gahwa Café, I was eager to try it for myself. I ordered a charcuterie board and Turkish coffee. While the coffee absolutely lived up to my expectations, I found the board slightly lacking in variety. But returning to the coffee's rich taste easily balanced that out. The ambience is delightful and intimate—perfect for a quiet evening. If you're in the area, this café is definitely worth a visit for its authenticity and charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m from out of town and found this café while exploring Jacksonville. Gahwa Café is a real treasure! The theme is beautifully done, and the owner is extremely warm and inviting. I had the Turkish coffee on sand; it was an experience in itself! I tried their dessert selection, and while the baklava was tasty, I found it slightly too sweet for my palate. That’s just a minor detail. I enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere and the friendly chatter with the owner, which made my visit special. I would return in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Gahwa Café feels like a mini-vacation! The atmosphere transports you straight to the streets of Istanbul. I enjoyed their lentil soup special along with a side of kunafa that was simply divine. The Turkish coffee remains my favorite; I love how the owner takes time to explain the traditional brewing method. My only wish is for a bit more variety on the menu, but overall, a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Can't wait for my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gahwa Café wowed me with its delightful authenticity! The Turkish coffee had a rich flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed their baklava. The warm ambiance is perfect for dates or solo visits. Although the place was slightly crowded during my visit which led to slower service, the atmosphere made up for it. Will certainly be back to indulge in more of their delicious offerings!
