Frankly these types of places have all of my understanding but none of my respect. Outside of Turkey the coffee would probably be part of the core allure of a Turkish restaurant. The irony being that coffee and tea are often complimentary after meals at many restaurants in Turkey. Its sort of a betrayal when the social aspect is supposed to be part of the package given that people in Turkey spend long hours at the dinner table, talking. Is there a legal issue that prevents them from only serving coffee with a meal? And then the thought that old folks spend part of their day walking around trying to figure out where they can sit down and talk is all kind of depressing. This seems like a poor fix, but hey, talk is cheap.
