La Petite Pause
Goreme, Nevsehir
La Petite Pause is a small family-run coffee shop with resident cats in Göreme, the cave town at the heart of Cappadocia. It sits on Kazım Eren Sokak, one of the quiet lanes that climb above the town centre, a short walk from the main street. The cafe describes itself as a cat cafe, and several house cats live inside, wandering between the tables and choosing their own sleeping spots among the vintage furniture, handmade decorations and a small shelf of books. There is no entry fee or time limit; visitors simply order at the counter and spend time with the cats. The menu is short: coffee made with Colombian beans, Turkish coffee, lemonade, salep and homemade desserts such as cheesecake, tiramisu and magnolia, all prepared in the cafe's own kitchen. It is open every day except Wednesday.
