Must order: Kaymaklı katmer, watched through the window as it is made.
Tip: Ask for the corner table. The katmer travels badly even across the room.
Address: Suyabatmaz Mahallesi, Kozluca Caddesi No:6, Şahinbey/Gaziantep
Valens Life Cafe lays out a full serpme breakfast in Batıkent, the long-table Gaziantep morning of cheeses, eggs, olives and bottomless tea.
Order: The full serpme breakfast spread with fried green olives.
Tip: Arrive before 10:00 at weekends. The big tables go first and turn slowly.
Kahve Tiryakisi in Yeditepe pairs a full Turkish breakfast with single-origin filter coffee, which is a rare combination anywhere in Gaziantep.
Order: The serpme breakfast, with the kaymak and the pekmezli tahin helva.
Tip: Budget ninety minutes. Breakfast here is a sitting, not a stop between things.
Treff Bistro sets its breakfast tables under the trees of Kavaklık Park, which makes it the best-placed spring morning in central Gaziantep.
Order: Weekend kahvaltı under the trees of Kavaklık Park.
Tip: The patio is the whole point. Indoors in winter it is an ordinary bistro.
Mösyö Cafe & Restaurant serves breakfast and griddled gözleme beside Kavaklık Park in Gaziantep, from eight in the morning until late at night.
Order: Cheese gözleme cooked to order on the griddle.
Tip: Mornings are calm here. Live music takes over the terrace after dark.
Yeşilçam Kahve Evi opens at eight in İbrahimli and serves breakfast under Turkish film stills, the latest-closing cafe in this part of Gaziantep.
Order: Turkish breakfast with coffee in the film-poster room.
Tip: Take the upstairs room for breakfast. Downstairs fills with nargile smoke by mid-afternoon.
Akşam Simit is the bakery breakfast of İbrahimli, a Gaziantep counter that sets out warm pastries and refills the teapot without being asked.
Order: Simit and katmer with a full teapot on the table.
Tip: The pastry trays restock through the morning, so a late arrival is not a penalty.
