The Turkish Breakfast Table
Turkish breakfast is built for the table, not the plate. You order a few boards, pass them around, and let the meal stretch across the morning with coffee and tea that keep coming.
At Tabac Plus the spread leans on the classics from Izmir and Istanbul mornings: warm simit and boyoz, melted cheese and sucuk, soft eggs cooked in the pan, clotted cream with honey, olives, fresh vegetables, and seasonal fruit preserves.
It is a slower kind of meal, and the room is made for it.
Turkish Coffee and Tea
Turkish coffee at Tabac Plus is brewed the old way, finely ground beans slow-brewed in a copper cezve, served unfiltered with a piece of Turkish delight.
Caffe alla Turca is traditional Turkish coffee, also served mastic-infused or with a strawberry infusion. Cay alla Turca is slow-brewed Turkish black tea served clear in a tulip glass.
If you searched for Turkish coffee in San Diego, this is the table for it.
Halal-Friendly and Non-Alcoholic
Tabac Plus is halal-friendly, so ask the team about options when you reserve or arrive. The restaurant is fully non-alcoholic too: the drink list runs on Turkish coffee, tea, fresh juices, and mocktails, so the whole table is covered.
