Coffee and art: they go together, as they have since the reign of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, when Istanbul was the first city in the world to have cafés.

Canadian Jennifer Gaudet has put a former carpet shop to a far better use: as a place to get a great cup of real coffee, or specialty tea, a pastry or snack, great relaxing music, some conversation, and a look at some of Turkey's most interesting up-and-coming artists.

If you're interested in Turkish painters, drop in for a look and a sip. Paintings and other graphics are displayed on consignment directly from the artists. They change periodically, so there's always new work to admire.

You should also know that 20% of proceeds from sales are donated to education for children in the community here.

In fair weather, tables and chairs are set out on quiet Dalbasti Sokak, right across the street from the entrance to the ever-popular Mavi Ev (Blue House) Hotel, which is only steps from the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, and the rest of Sultanahmet. Warm weather is the time to consider a frappe or milkshake, a lassis, iced tea or soft drink as well as coffee.

Besides regular coffee, Turkish coffee, espresso, decaf and and aroma coffees (chocolate orange, hazelnut, Irish cream, French vanilla, English toffee), and nine kinds of tea, there's hot chocolate.

Chocolate chip cookies, muffins, biscotti and a variety of sweet squares and brownies are always available.
