West Yard Cafe Camden is a small Turkish café in Camden Stables Market, at unit 73 on the ground floor of West Yard by the canal. Camden Market lists it for traditional Turkish coffee and simple, filling dishes, and it makes an easy stop between the stalls of the Stables and Camden Lock.

The draw is Türk kahvesi, served in ornate cups with cubes of lokum (Turkish delight) on the side, and baklava to go with it. For something more substantial there is kumpir, the Istanbul-style loaded jacket potato, plus savoury pastries, toasted sandwiches and salads. Cakes are also on the counter.

It suits shoppers and visitors who want a proper Turkish coffee break or a quick, inexpensive lunch while exploring Camden Market.

What to order at West Yard Cafe Camden

Pair a Turkish coffee with something sweet, or go for kumpir if you are hungry. These are items mentioned by Camden Market or regularly by visitors:

• Türk kahvesi – Turkish coffee in a decorative cup, served with lokum
• Baklava – layered filo pastry with nuts and syrup
• Kumpir – loaded jacket potato with butter, cheese and a choice of toppings
• Cheese or spinach pastry – savoury baked pastries from the counter
• Tost – toasted sandwiches, including mixed and cheese fillings

Atmosphere and good to know

This is a compact market café, and the hygiene register lists it as a takeaway and sandwich shop, so expect a counter and limited seating rather than table service. Camden Market gets very busy at weekends; weekday mornings are calmer. Vegetarian choices are easy to find, and vegan options have been mentioned on one listing.

Halal status isn’t stated. Cards and cash are both reported to be accepted. No booking needed; just walk up.
