Dating as far back as 1555, Turkish coffee has become widely known for its strong flavor and special preparation methods. Traditionally made from the Arabica coffee bean, Turkish coffee can also be prepared with robusta beans or a specialty blend. Though often thought to be named for the beans, authentic Turkish coffee refers to the way it is made using coffee that has been ground very finely. The art of preparing and serving this hot beverage is often sought after in cities around the world, and it’s available just around the corner from OneEleven. Chicago now has a number of places to experience this delicious treat. Here are three Turkish coffee shops in Chicago you should try:
