Welcome to Daphne’s Tears Bakery Cafe

Nestled in the heart of tradition and myth, Daphne’s Tears Bakery Cafe is more than just a place for coffee and pastries—it’s a tribute to the timeless beauty of Antakya. Inspired by the legend of Daphne and Apollo, our name reflects the deep roots of history, love, and transformation that define this ancient city.

According to myth, Daphne, pursued by Apollo, sought refuge in the embrace of the earth, transforming into a laurel tree. Her tears, forever intertwined with the land, symbolize resilience, beauty, and renewal—values we pour into every cup of coffee and every freshly baked pastry.

At Daphne’s Tears, we blend flavors of the past with the warmth of the present, offering a space where history, culture, and community come together. Whether you seek a quiet moment with a cup of rich Turkish coffee or the comforting embrace of a freshly baked treat, you’ll find it here, in a place where stories are shared and memories are made.

Come, be part of the legend.
