If you find yourself wandering through the charming coastal town of Ayvalık, make sure to take a moment to relax and indulge at Orfanos Cafe. Nestled in the Fevzipaşa-vehbibey area, this cafe offers a breathtaking backdrop of the sea, allowing visitors to sip their drinks while merely feet away from the gentle waves. As you settle in, it’s not just the ambiance that is captivating, but also the unique experiences that await you.

One of the standout features of Orfanos Cafe is its magnificent location. Customers have the enjoyable opportunity to sit right at the water's edge, where feeding schools of playful fish adds an interactive element to your visit. Imagine watching mullets gathering around as you toss them a bit of bread, a delightful interaction that brings both fun and leisure to your cafe experience.

The cafe's charm is enhanced by its allure of authenticity and the simple pleasure of enjoying a cup of Turkish tea, especially from the leftmost row of tables near the water. Here you can take in the serene views of Ayvalık’s beautiful coast while experiencing a moment of tranquility—an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of traveling. Despite some mixed feelings regarding customer service, with reviews mentioning that the staff could be somewhat unfriendly, many still agree that the stunning setting more than compensates for it.

While Orfanos Cafe may be slightly pricier compared to other coastal cafes, it is certainly more affordable than some of its local competitors. This makes it a worthwhile choice for travelers seeking an unbeatable view without breaking the bank. The experience of having your drink on the edge of the sea, feeding the local fish as you sip on aromatic Turkish tea, is truly priceless.

In summary, Orfanos Cafe is not just a place to grab a drink—it's a destination where delightful interactions with nature and scenic views intermingle seamlessly to create a memorable experience.

A very nice place to sit down and sip on Turkish tea and watch the beautiful coast of Ayvalık, especially if you're lucky and get a table in the leftmost row near the water, where you can observe schools of fish, which hang around as they're fed by customers. It's somewhat expensive but cheaper than the other cafès at the coast. Staff is sort of unfriendly and frown at card payments.
