Café NO1 Gloria Jeans
Gloria Jean's Gourmet Coffee Pty Ltd is an American-Australian retail coffeehouse brand headquartered in Castle Hill, Sydney. The Global coffee shop has more than 599 stores in 40 countries, including over 140 in Australia. Founded in 1979 by Gloria Jean Kvetko, Ed Kvetko. The brand began as a small coffee and gift shop in the Chicago area. Has 2 branches in Lefke, 8 shops in North Cyprus including Lefke. Opens at 8AM, closes 12pm. I have purchased the White Chocolate Mocha with Extra whipped cream.
Staff- As there was not a lot of customers, they only had one barista working. The staff was friendly, he greeted us as we entered. He had suggestions about the menu. I personally prefer sweet drinks like smoothies, shakes and tea. So I choose the White Chocolate Mocha with extra whipped cream because the weather is still chilly. The cup was full when he served the drink and couldn’t add more whipped cream so he even gave me the extra whipped cream when the cup was half full.
Comfortability- They had the main coffee shop with the counter area and their products- such as coffee mugs, various tea selections. The interior had street art with wooden modern furniture. One thing that caught my eyes was the meeting room area (as not a lot of coffee shops have). Loved the interior and the wallpaper, had ceiling to floor windows to see the outside view, very clean and aesthetic. Across the road, they also have an outside sitting area. This area is perfect for the people who smoke. It had different types of plants growing, yellow barrels as tables, big cushions to sit on.
Product- I have purchased The White Chocolate Mocha (Tasted very chocolaty and rich. Had a lot of sugar in it. You can also order it with or without coffee). Not too impressed nor disappointed about the taste, but felt a little too sugary for my taste. I have searched about what are the most recommended coffees, which are Sugar Cookie Latte, Mudslide whole bean and Irish crème. Hopefully I will check the recommended coffees as well next time.
Price range- Between 47-95 TL. I think the price range was not cheap to compare it to the other cafes in Lefke. The cakes were all 75 TL, as well as the coffee price.
