Pastanes (pastry shops)are open from early morning till late night and offer cakes, salted and sweet cookies, various kinds of bread, candies, lokum (Turkish delight), chocolate, muhallebi (Turkish pudding), Turkish sweets and ice cream. Besides chain pastry shops such as Divan, Pelit and Bahar there are “boutique” shops such as Dolçe, Senem Betil, Foodie and Ms. Leyla Akçağlılar and Ms. Ebru İpekçi's Butterfly with their specialties and Paul, Linzer with their international tastes. Turkish cakes are intended to be served as sweets after a meal but rather to be served at teatime.

Almost all pastry shops have special tastes to offer. These specialities are: profiterole from the Beyoğlu Inci, ayçöreği from Bahar, strudel from Linzer, foret-noire from Divan, rococo from Pelit, Easter cake from Beyoğlu Burç, mocha cake from Beyaz Fırın, carrot cake from Gezi and finally Mado, the newest name in ice cream.

Most pastry shops bake their own bread. Divan, Pelit, Gezi and Vakko produce their own chocolates and recently Bind got a place as a favorite brand among choco-holics.

Again many pastry shops have cafes within or next to them. The pastry shops of all big hotels also serve as cafes and made great advances during the last decade and are now among the favorite destinations of those who enjoy the café experience.
