Inside Cazim Waffle & La Gelateria Dondurma Cafe
Cazim Waffle & La Gelateria Dondurma Cafe sits in the heart of Kartal’s Uğurmumcu neighborhood, offering a relaxed spot where the focus is very much on sweet, satisfying treats rather than coffee-centric fare. This cafe draws people looking for a casual pause with waffles and gelato that carry local flavor and a homey touch.
The atmosphere here leans toward friendly and familiar. Locals often mention the warmth of the service — the owner, Cazim Bey, is known to be hands-on and approachable, adding to the sense that this is a neighborhood spot where customers are more like guests. The setting is straightforward and comfortable, making it a natural choice for a quick afternoon break or a casual meet-up spot.
Waffles are clearly the main event, with plenty of attention given to fresh, quality ingredients and balanced toppings that don’t overwhelm the base. It’s the kind of place where you notice the crispness of the waffle and the way the chocolate and fruit blend just right, something that keeps families and waffle fans coming back from nearby districts such as Ataşehir. The gelato, meanwhile, offers a refreshing complement with a presentation that locals appreciate for both taste and appearance.
Given its location near residential and shopping areas in Kartal, the cafe tends to attract a mix of young families and neighbors who come by to enjoy a sweet treat without fuss. Busy afternoons on weekends seem to be ideal for stopping in, especially when you want a familiar taste but with a polish that reflects care in preparation. Service tends to be quick, and the owner’s friendliness helps keep the mood light even during peak times.
All told, Cazim Waffle & La Gelateria offers a straightforward, enjoyable option for those craving waffles and gelato in a down-to-earth spot where local regulars are the norm and the experience feels more like visiting a friend’s kitchen than a typical commercial cafe.
