This cafe, like its manager, is amazing, unique, and creative. Everything here is done with love. It has already made a big difference in my life... seriously! And if you speak English better than Turkish, you will be fine. XOXO

Eli has a 100% vegan menu, with a lot of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She's super nice and also is involved in an animal sanctuary. Try her falafel sandwich, it's amazing!

Finally desi food in izmir with taste

Sipariş üzerine yaptırdığımız vegan doğumgünü pastasını çok beğendik. Benzer şekilde spesiyelleri ve cheesecake de oldukça başarılı. İşletmecisi Elif hanım kafenin gelirlerini medikal, barınma vb. ihtiyacı bulunan hayvanlara harcıyor. Burada yediklerinizle hem gönlünüz hem de karnınız doyuyor. Vegan olmasanız bile mutlaka uğrayın.

We arrived very hungry and found this place on google and decided to eat there based on the good reviews. We ordered the burger and Eli Nazik, both were really good! But most importantly the owner of the cafe is a very nice and sincere woman who looks after the street animals. All the profit goes to their well fare and vets fees. Needless to say as vegetarians we were more than happy to dine there and be able to support their amazing cause!

(Translated by Google) It's a very friendly, sweet place. We ate the soufflé, it was very nice, the lady who owns it offered us a mince pie, we loved the taste, it was not clear that it was not mince at all. Affordable nice place for vegans and vegetarians. The babies living inside are also the sweetest of the world. (Original) çoook samimi çok tatlı bir mekan. sufle yedik çok güzeldi, sahibi olan hanımefendi bize bir de kıymalı börek ikram etti tadına bayıldık, kıyma olmadığı hiç anlaşılmıyordu. vegan ve vejetaryenler için uygun fiyatlı güzel bir yer. içerde yaşayan bebişler de dünya tatlısı

Delicious food! The food is very good! Also everything you spend is going towards rescuing animals. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Great quality, authentic food. And supporting a great cause.

Very good homemade food, everything is made with the heart. Very good address in Bornova

Amazing food, lovely people. Menu is a mixture of traditional Turkish food (like Ali Nazik, Iskender etc) and classics (like pasta, burgers). All vegan of course :)

I'm doing my Erasmus in İzmir and it's the best food I've had in whole Izmir. Its really unbelievable, and the meals are absolutely authentic. The Mantı is just amazing!

this is the best food i ate during my vacation in izmir, vegan or not. the manti are to die for and the service is perfect. it feels like the best, most comforting home made food you'll ever eat. please come here, you will be amazed

Amazing place, everything home made. The owner is not only making delicious food but also creating place with the heart and soul. The Company of the animals is also a huge plus. From now on during every stay in İzmir we'll also visit Cafe Eli. I highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) It has a very sweet, friendly atmosphere, I'm not vegan, but I really liked the vegan magnolia I ate, I'm sure everyone can find something for their taste here, I will try other vegan flavors in my next visits ✌🏻 (Original) Çok tatlı, samimi bir atmosfere sahip, vegan değilim ama yediğim vegan magnoliayı çok beğendim, herkesin burada damak tadına uygun bir şey bulabileceğinden eminim, bir sonraki gelişlerimde de başka vegan tatları deneyeceğim ✌🏻

(Translated by Google) Although we are not normally vegan or vegetarian, we found the food very delicious in this place where we came to try vegan flavors. If we add the sweetness of the owner and also the extremely reasonable prices, it has definitely made it one of our favorite cafes that we will come to regularly from now on. I also recommend the 'gentle hand' dish to everyone. (Original) Normalde vegan ve vejeteryan olmamamıza rağmen vegan lezzetleri denemek için geldiğimiz bu yerde gerçekten yemekleri çok lezzetli bulduk. Mekan sahibinin tatlılığını ve aynı zamanda fiyatlarının da son derece makul seviyelerde olmasını da eklersek bundan sonra kesinlikle düzenli olarak geleceğimiz favori kafelerimizden birisi olmasına sebep oldu. 'Eli nazik' yemeğini de herkese öneririm.

(Translated by Google) It's a very sweet, very friendly place with a very nice manager, a warm place that lady Elif takes care of, the money goes to her animal friends, you can both eat delicious food and help 🥺💚🧚🏻‍♀️ (Original) Çooook tatlı çoook samimi çoook güzel bir işletmecisi olan sıcak bi mekan elif hanımın baktığı hayvan dostlarına gidiyor kazanılan para hem lezzetli yemekler yeyip hem de yardım etmiş oluyorsunuz 🥺💚🧚🏻‍♀️

(Translated by Google) Alexander was beautiful. Various menus are offered in a small cafe of its own. Also, let's not forget to leave a food tip for the cats in the cafe :) (Original) İskender çok güzeldi. Kendine özgü küçük bir cafe de çeşitli menüler sunuluyor. Ayrıca cafe de bulunan kediler için mama bahşişi bırakmayı da unutmayalım :)

Tiny cosy friendly place. Eli nazik, godz burger, ayran and falafel were awesome ! All vegan but the taste of the foods were amazing. I will visit there again for sure!
