A colourful dessert shop on Kadıköy's Moda Caddesi with twenty-five years behind it, known for waffles with a wide range of toppings.
Kemal Usta Waffles operates on Moda Caddesi in Istanbul's Kadıköy district. By its own account it has twenty-five years of history and is counted among Moda's colourful, well-known shopfronts, known in particular for drawing queues on summer evenings. The shop's offering centres on a single item: waffles built to order from a wide selection of toppings. As such it follows a classic neighbourhood dessert-shop format — no broad food menu or drinks list, no diversification beyond the waffle itself. Open from ten in the morning to two at night, it serves Moda's daytime and evening foot traffic alike. The entire range sits within the pastry-and-dessert category, and nothing in the sourced material mentions alcohol or a pork product.
