A tiny crash course

This is a mekitsa.

A mekitsa (мекица, plural мекици) is a traditional Bulgarian yeast-less fried dough made with flour, yogurt, eggs and a pinch of baking soda. Crisp on the outside, pillow-soft on the inside — and an institution on Bulgarian Sunday mornings.

At Mekitsa & Coffee we honor that tradition but play with fillings: honey and walnuts sit next to Nutella and banana, feta and raspberry jam, or blueberry cheesecake.

  • Made to order — never lukewarm
  • Freshly ground Balkan coffee
  • Sweet & savory toppings
  • Vegan options on request
