Kiva Galataport Babayani Bakery
Babayani Bakery, which opened its doors in the past months,
quickly took its place among the favorite places of Fener-
bahçe with its fresh flavors and attractive atmosphere. In Ba-
bayani Bakery, which sets out with the slogan “The pleasure
of eating by hand,” you can find delicious bread, croissants,
sweet and savory puff pastry, and cake varieties.
The team bakery, which offers daily prepared products, re-
ceives support from different suppliers to achieve the best re-
sult in terms of taste. Ricotta used in creams is bought from
Napoli Antica, sesame is the main ingredient of tahini, and
black tahini is bought from Adana, pistachios in cakes are
bought from Gaziantep, vanilla is bought from Madagascar,
and fruits and vegetables are bought from organic markets.
The bakery’s sweet puff pastry and pastry aisle, which in-
cludes classic recipes such as pistachio cake, strawberry puff
pastry, almond croissant, and lemon tart, is diversified and
renewed with seasonal fruits. Thus, you can be pleasantly sur-
prised every time you visit the place.
The bakery, open every day of the week except Tuesdays,
welcomes you with bread and coffee varieties from the early
morning hours. The croissant and pastry aisle starts to fill up
at 10.00. Flan, which is very popular with the regulars of the
bakery, takes its place on the counter at noon because it needs
a four-hour resting time. Be sure to discover the fresh flavors
of Babayani Bakery.
