From Tradition to Table

At Oklava Cafe, we bring the rich flavors and heartfelt hospitality of Turkish café culture to the heart of Palo Alto. Inspired by timeless traditions and crafted with care, our menu features handcrafted baklava, savory pastries, Turkish breakfasts, and specialty drinks — all served in a cozy, welcoming space.

Our name, Oklava, comes from the traditional rolling pin used in Turkish kitchens for generations. It symbolizes the love, patience, and craft that go into every dish we serve.

We’re more than just a café — we’re a gathering place. Whether you’re starting your day with a simit and tea, catching up over Turkish coffee, or treating yourself to something sweet, we invite you to slow down, connect, and enjoy the experience.

From Istanbul to Palo Alto — welcome to Oklava.
