Chocolabs (Kastamonu Branch)
A chocolate shop on Kamil Demircioğlu Caddesi in Kuzeykent, central Kastamonu, the local branch of a nationwide Turkish chocolate chain.
Petek Pastanesi's Bayraklı shop in the Mansuroğlu quarter of İzmir, by the courthouse square — an İzmir counter of a family confectioner running since 1942.
Petek Pastanesi lists its shops one by one on its own site, each with an address and a telephone number, and this record is the Bayraklı one: number 9 on 288/1 Sokak, beside the courthouse square in the Mansuroğlu quarter of Bayraklı, İzmir. Two of the company's shops are in İzmir; this is one of them.
The house presents itself as a family business running since 1942. Its branches page lists ten shops: six of them are in Hatay province on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, two in İzmir, and one each in Trabzon and Osmaniye.
The published catalogue is set out by category: ezme (ground nut-and-sugar pastes), sugar-free sweets, chocolate, künefe and kadayıf — shredded-pastry desserts soaked in syrup — baklava, Turkish delight and nuts, sweet and savoury specialities, regional products and gift boxes. Two lines run side by side, then: the syrup-soaked traditional end of Turkish confectionery, and a chocolate-and-patisserie counter. Keeping sugar-free sweets as a category of their own is a visible choice in that list. These items come from the company's published catalogue; which of them sits in this particular window is not separately stated, and neither opening hours nor prices have been published.
