Turkish Coffee Lady (1001 King Street) is offering a complimentary cup of Turkish coffee today with any purchase to celebrate World Turkish Coffee Day.

Turkish coffee is a unique style that uses very finely ground coffee beans without filtering. Turkish Coffee Lady first opened as a food truck in 2012, then a kiosk in Tysons Corner Center in 2017, and finally a full shop in Old Town in 2022.

The cafe said in a release that it is offering a cup of authentic Turkish coffee today (Thursday) with any purchase in the store.

“Turkish coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a bridge to culture, conversations, and cherished moments,” said Gizem White, founder of Turkish Coffee Lady. “We’re thrilled to share this world-renowned tradition with our customers and celebrate its legacy with the community.”
