Madeo Cafe (Kordon)

The bakery side comes first here. Madeo Cafe puts cakes, pastries, oven-baked goods and fresh bread at the centre of what it sells, then builds coffee, tea and fresh juice around them. It also advertises a gluten-free range as a category of its own rather than a footnote. The address sits on Kayserili Ahmet Paşa Caddesi in central Çanakkale, on the stretch the business itself calls the Kordon — the local name for the seafront promenade that runs along the Dardanelles waterfront. Service is not limited to a morning trade: the venue states that it covers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and keeps a lunch format suited to business meals. Practicalities are spelled out on its page. There is air conditioning inside and a private outdoor seating area, free wifi, and a designated smoking area. Cash, debit card, Mastercard, VISA and contactless payment are all accepted, takeaway is available, and the room can be booked for private events. Tables themselves are not reserved. The same family operates a second address on this street, the café New Madeo; this record covers the Kordon venue only.
