mama's secret turkish bakery

i love turkish coffee - the dark, thick, strong elixir has been part of my life since childhood - carefully prepared by all the women in my family and always capped off with a circle of people waiting for their empty coffee cup fortunes to be told.
sadly, the turkish coffee served at restaurants here in los angeles has bordered from the weak & watery to horrible mud in a cup and has never come close to the coffee served in people's homes - that is until now. i have finally discovered a little restaurant that serves the best, most beautiful cup of authentic turkish coffee this side of istanbul. mama's secret bakery is run by a lovely turkish family and is the perfect place to pop in for a delicious breakfast or afternoon turkish delight!
zevk!
