Inside Ayselli Simit Fırın Cafe Bistro
Ayselli Simit Fırın Cafe Bistro is a warmly familiar spot nestled in the Üniversiteler neighborhood of Çankaya, Ankara. Functioning as a blend of bakery, cafe, and bistro, it naturally appeals to a wide range of visitors—from local university students and hospital staff to nearby office workers looking for a reliable midday meal.
Unlike the usual sterile hospital cafeteria options nearby, Ayselli offers a more inviting atmosphere where customers can settle into a casual, home-like environment. The presence of friendly staff members, often recognized by regulars, adds a personal touch that makes this a place people return to not just for food, but for a moment of calm in a busy day.
The strength here clearly lies in its varied menu that covers everything from traditional simit and baked goods to satisfying main dishes and mezeler (small side dishes), which are noted for their generous portions and authentic flavors. Meal options tend to reflect Turkish culinary staples, and the quality is often praised as refreshingly consistent compared to other local eateries.
Visitors often find the best times to visit are around lunch, though occasional slight congestion during the midday rush reflects its growing popularity among the hospital and university crowd. The setting itself isn’t loud or flashy—it’s a practical space where people can enjoy a leisurely tea served traditionally in glass cups or sample homemade desserts like aşure.
For those working nearby or passing through the area, Ayselli offers a down-to-earth dining experience that combines quick service with genuinely home-cooked tastes. It’s a solid choice if you want a fuller meal than just a bakery snack without leaving the comfort of a thoughtfully run local cafe bistro.
