The Osmanağa branch in Kadıköy of Şekerci Cafer Erol, a confectionery house making candy, lokum, and chocolate to traditional recipes since 1807.
Şekerci Cafer Erol, by its own account, has operated since 1807, making it one of Istanbul's oldest confectionery houses. Its Kadıköy branch sits on Yasa Caddesi in the Osmanağa quarter. The brand is built around candy, lokum (Turkish delight), chocolate, and gift confectionery made to traditional recipes, with several branches across Istanbul. The Kadıköy shop stays open from nine in the morning to midnight, serving both everyday customers and evening visitors shopping for gifts. The business states directly that it does not serve alcohol. With more than two centuries of history, Şekerci Cafer Erol is counted among the few surviving producers still carrying on the Ottoman-era confectionery tradition in Istanbul.
