Murî Cafe & Dessert

What people go for here

Murî is a warm, highly distinctive Kurdish café for hazelnut coffee or Qezwan with pistachio San Sebastián cheesecake; the spinach-feta börek is the standout savory option. Its beautiful rooms and shaded patio suit conversation or laptop time, though peak crowds, uneven outlet access, and difficult parking make off-peak visits easier.

• Pistachio San Sebastián cheesecake
• Kurdish hazelnut coffee
• Qezwan

Worth knowing: Weekend mornings and busy weekday periods can fill the café, and laptop users may occupy much of the available seating. The Kurdish specialties and pistachio desserts are the stronger choices; standard lattes, matcha, and some sweeter cakes can be less distinctive. The peaceful atmosphere gives way to a busier, louder room around brunch and lunch.

The coffee

Kurdish cultural café serving unfiltered Kurdish coffee and qezwan alongside origin-named espresso, drip, cold brew, ceremonial matcha, tea, and regional food.

Murî publishes more coffee specificity than many food-led cafés: Guatemala Utopian coffee for double-shot espresso drinks, Rwanda coffee for drip, and Brazilian coffee for cold brew. Traditional Kurdish coffee is unfiltered, so ultra-fine grounds settle at the bottom. Qezwan, made from roasted fruit of the wild pistachio family, offers a culturally distinctive caffeine-light alternative.
