At the corner of Yppenplatz and Brunnenmarkt you can find the Turkish café and confectionery Haci Baba. The sugary and brightly coloured café offers a wide range of pastry, sweets, cakes and some non-sweet bakery products. The area around Yppenplatz and Brunnenmarkt has always been a neighbourhood for people with a Turkish background, yet has experienced gentrification in the last years. So now when there are several young and trendy cafés around the square, where people like to have their brunch outside, Oriental-style Haci Baba might still serve the lowest price breakfast (though no brunch). If you page through Haci Baba’s menu of cakes such as a three-tier wedding cake surfaced by an edible photograph of a couple, reduced and supercool artyness can not be further away than that. There are some reasons while Haci Baba is worth a visit, but delicious pastry is the most outstanding one. When the shop owner sees how Seth and Miles from Akron Family enjoy their pastries, he smilingly explains: „No wonder, many confectioneries nowadays substitute cheap margarine for butter. We go in for quality and stay with real and tasty butter.“ Keep it real – forget low fat!
