Market regulars bypass the surrounding stalls and head straight for this corner counter. The setup is brisk and straightforward, serving hefty, golden-baked börek at prices that feel like a throwback. The move is the classic spinach and feta—thick, salty, and generous enough to split. An unusually wide vegan lineup pulls equal weight, turning out spiced soy mince, vegan gözleme, and peppery zucchini without missing a beat. Pair one with a warm, chewy pişi dusted in sugar, grab your paper bag, and eat it while drifting through the aisles.
- Standout Spinach & Feta: Thick, substantial börek loaded with a salty, savoury filling at budget-friendly market prices.
- Extensive Vegan Lineup: Rarely matched spread of plant-based pastries, including peppery soy mince böreks and fresh gözleme.
- Fresh-Fried Pişi: Golden Turkish fried donuts served warm and chewy as the ideal sweet market snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there vegan options available?
Yes, Tammy’s offers an extensive selection of vegan baked items and pastries, including vegan lamb and zucchini borek, cheese and spinach, spicy potato, and vegan gözleme. Drinks also feature alternative milks without an extra surcharge.
What are the portion sizes and queue pace like?
Tammy’s gets very busy with a fast, bustling counter, but the line moves swiftly. Boreks are substantial, thick, and very filling, making a single borek or even half enough for a solid bite. Many visitors also take extra pastries, dolmas, or stews home to freeze for later.
Can you dine in, or is it takeaway only?
Yes, both dine-in seating (inside and outside) and takeaway are available. Indoor seating can be tight when it is bustling, but the staff actively accommodate parties and toddlers.
