Pırıl pırıl ve yeşillerin içerisinde aydınlık harika bir mekan. Tuzlu ve tatlı kurabiyelerden tattım nefisti. Aklım diğerlerinde kaldı. Zencefil çayım tam kıvamindaydi. Cafe nin sahibi anladigim kadariyla hep işbaşında, iyi eğitim almış kültürlü saygılı bir hanım. Evim yakın olmasa da arkadaş buluşmalarımda tercih edeceğim bir mekan. Teşekkürler.

Nihan Hanım'ın harika lezzetlerini denemenizi ısrarla öneririm. Evinizin bir köşesiymiş gibi sıcacık bir kafe, ürünler de anneniz yapmış gibi güzel

Küçük bir yorgunluk molası idi benimki. Çok güler yüzlü olarak karşılandım. Türk kahvesi harikaydı. Ne yorgunluk kaldı ne birşey. Teşekkür ederim.

Ne alsam lezzeti efsane olur mu?! 5 yıldız değil 10 yıldız olsa veririm. Kendim yapmış gibi güvenilir içerikle üretmesi ve cafenin sahibi Nihan Hanım'ın güzel sohbeti de bonus gibi iyi ki varsın Çukutala!

Çukulata Kafe'nin ise temiz ferah ortamında Onur Caymaz'ın kitap kulübü vardı. Gerçekten kendimi evimde gibi hissettim.
