Description:

Melekler Kahvesi or Cafe Dez Anj is actually a regular cafe that serves you everything from coffee and snacks to drinks and meals. What makes Melekler Kahvesi different from any other cafe is that Melekler Kahvesi's other name is the "Fortune" Cafe. At Melekler Kahvesi when you order a cup of Turkish Coffee, a fortune teller also arrives with your coffee and reads out your fortune out of your coffee cup. The fortune tellers are regular 20-something years old adults and adolescents who are indeed university students or waiters and waitresses at the cafe. They are by no means professional fortune tellers and they do now assume to be so. The fortune telling is the additional bonus and the fun that the cafe offers its clients in exchange for a cup of coffee. At no additional fee, Melekler Kahvesi literally practices the Turkish idiom: "Do not believe in fortune, and do not rest without it". That in other words mean do not obsess yourself with fortune telling, but to do not devoid yourself of the fun either. But that never means that what you hear will indeed be the truth :)
