A simit and coffee café in Ömerağa Mahallesi, İzmit, Kocaeli, open daily from 5am to 10pm, built for early morning commuters.
İzmit is the central district of Kocaeli province, sitting on the eastern shore of İzmit Bay; its name descends, through the forms İznikmid and İzmid, from ancient Nicomedia. Kocaeli itself, in the Marmara Region, is Turkey's tenth most populous province and one of its leading industrial centres. On Hafız Şerif Sokak in Ömerağa Mahallesi within İzmit, İzmit Simit Cafe runs as a café whose name points directly to simit, the sesame-crusted bread ring. The tags the business has chosen for its own listing run to Turkish cuisine, coffee, tea and fresh juice, with breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and business lunch all served. Doors open as early as 5am and stay open until 10pm, every day of the week — a schedule built around early commuters and breakfast trade. Cash, contactless payment, bank or credit cards and meal vouchers are all accepted.
