The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point.
Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries
Istanbul baklava and Turkish delight across the road from Harrods, from a confectioner trading since 1864.
Cakes & patisserieOpen lateSomewhere to sit
The shop is named after the founder's son. Haci Ismail Hakki Bey opened in Bahcekapi in Istanbul in 1864, making sugar candy on a dibek stone in the basement; Hafiz Mustafa, who took the business on, worked the confectionery while serving as a volunteer muezzin at the Arpacilar Mosque, and it is his name over the door.
The range is the full Ottoman repertoire: baklava in walnut, pistachio and chocolate, kadayif in its shredded pastry, lokum - Turkish delight, which Ottoman called rahat-i halkum, the thing that relieves the throat - sugared dragees, milk puddings and cakes. The house line is that it uses cane sugar rather than glucose, natural essences rather than colourings, and zamzam water throughout. There is a room to sit in as well as a counter, which is the difference between this and carrying a box home.
