Simurgh Bakery & Cafe

Rooted in recipes from Gelibolu along Turkey's Dardanelles strait, the kitchen pairs Anatolian and Balkan traditions with local California ingredients. The selection extends well beyond the counter with an all-day breakfast menu, soft pide bread, beef brisket patty sandwiches, and generous Turkish sampler platters, alongside desserts like rice pudding. The room has limited seating, giving it an intimate neighborhood pace where staff patiently walk diners through the house specialties.
