Gece Gündüz Turkish Breakfast & Bakery is a café and bakery on Kilburn High Road in Brondesbury, at the northern end of the high street. The name means “night and day”, and the focus is on freshly made bread, pastries and Turkish breakfast every day.

The kitchen covers the Turkish breakfast classics – a full breakfast platter, menemen and çılbır – plus sucuk omelette, gözleme and fresh salads. The bakery side turns out traditional Turkish bread and pastries, and the drinks list includes Turkish tea, Turkish coffee, fresh juices and smoothies.

It suits a slow weekend breakfast, a quick coffee and pastry, or picking up fresh bread on the way home.

What to order at Gece Gündüz

These dishes and bakes are on Gece Gündüz’s menu:

• Serpme kahvaltı – the Turkish breakfast platter of cheeses, olives, eggs, jams and bread
• Menemen – eggs scrambled with tomatoes and peppers
• Çılbır – poached eggs on garlicky yoghurt with spiced butter
• Sucuklu omlet – omelette with spicy Turkish beef sausage

• Turkish bread and pastries – baked fresh daily, to eat in or take away
• Türk kahvesi – Turkish coffee, or a glass of çay (black tea)

Atmosphere and good to know

This is a relaxed café rather than a restaurant, with breakfast plates, bread and pastries available to eat in or take away. There’s a vegetarian breakfast and plant-based options on the menu. Halal status isn’t stated. No booking is needed for small groups, though weekend mornings are the busiest time.

It closes in the early evening, so plan for breakfast, brunch or lunch rather than dinner.

Gece Gündüz opening hours

Open daily: 07:00–19:00. Hours can change on bank holidays, so check with the restaurant before you travel.
