A popular hangout with Afyon's younger set, Badem rustles up a mixed menu of international and Turkish favourites, from burgers to gözleme (stuffed flatbreads), along with some of the best coffee in town and nargiles (water pipes). The glass exterior and comfy, brightly coloured sofas make it a good spot for putting your feet up and watching Afyon life.
