We'll look into it. There is an annex down the street from the original, but it does sound like you ended up somewhere else. An impostor? We’ll look into it.

Is there an imitation "Kale Cafe" on the same strip??? The one we went to was elevated a few steps up from street level. Looked nothing like the picture in this article. If so, people beware... Sunday brunch at the fake Kale Cafe was a disaster... the breakfast "Koy Kahvaltisi" was miserly and misleading (just supermarket cheese, olives, tomato, cucumber and nothing else), the service was tediously slow (we only got 2 cups of tea in 1.5 hrs), the bread basket looked like leftovers from the previous table, and the bill was miscalculated. Topped off by an apathetic waiter when we complained. I read your article, but wish I'd checked the photo more carefully. Hmmm, I think we must have gone to the wrong Kale Cafe.

Same basic breakfast spread, more choices in the extras such as fresh fruit juices and a spacious seating arrangement instead of being squashed between a sea of hungry people. The paçanga is better by far, too. If you decide to visit the neighborhood, I encourage you to walk 30m in the direction of Bebek and try “Lokma”.
