One of the most memorable coffee shops I've visited. The architecture, culture, and Turkish coffee were fantastic.

I went on a first date with someone who turned out to become a close longtime friend. I worked with my cofounder for 8-hour blocks at a time wired on Turkish coffee (he preferred the mint tea) as we built our first product (DNA Nutrition) and raised our first angel money.

It's an amazing coincidence that my cofounder and I found ourselves in Algiers for what was the first time in many months just 2 days before they shut the doors for good.

Happy to see this make the front page. This closure stings.
