A neighbourhood bakery on Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi in Alsancak, İzmir, built around fresh bread and cakes, opening at half past six each morning.
Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi is the shopping spine of Alsancak, a quarter of Konak in central İzmir, and Alsancak Dostlar Fırını stands on it at number 120.
Bread comes first in what the operators claim for themselves. Their own tags run through fresh bread and pastry, then cakes, dessert and confectionery, with local products, home-style preparation and healthy cooking alongside. No item list has been published, so which loaves or which cakes are actually on the counter cannot be read from the record.
The hours follow the product. The door opens at 06:30 and closes at 19:00, the same twelve-and-a-half-hour window every day of the week — the rhythm of a shop that works to the time bread leaves the oven rather than to mealtimes. Beyond that the published record is thin: no seating, air conditioning, parking, wifi or step-free access is listed, and no service items are given at all. Payment is by cash, debit card, Mastercard or VISA.
