Meydan Kafesi

Azerbaijan


This cosy cafe spreads coloured leatherette sofas onto the end of the square and has various parasol contraptions to mitigate the daytime sunshine. While it doesn't have the advertised espresso, you can get an excellent Turkish coffee that doesn't appear on the menu. Cakes, pizza, burgers, döner kebab and basic salads are available.
