If you're searching for a cozy spot in the heart of Mardin to unwind, look no further than David People. Nestled at 13 Mart, this charming café offers a delightful fusion of ambiance, friendly service, and the occasional live music that truly brings the community to life.

David People is more than just a café; it's a local hub where good coffee meets great company. The atmosphere is inviting, adorned with simple décor that encourages relaxation. It’s the perfect place to catch up with friends or dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read while sipping on their expertly brewed beverages. While the menu isn’t listed here, patrons often enjoy comforting drinks like the rich, creamy sahlep, a winter favorite that warms the soul and is a staple in Turkish cafes.

As you settle into your seat, the sounds of live bands performing can add a melodic touch to your experience, enhancing the laid-back vibe that David People is known for. Just ask customer Regina Tolstokorova, who remarked, "Good place, especially when there are some bands. Nice and friendly staff." This sentiment resonates with many visitors who appreciate the blend of good music and tasty drinks.

Nevertheless, David People is not without its quirks. While most patrons love the upper floor, especially during the colder months, some have noted that the lower level can be quite chilly in winter. Hakan Aydın shared a realistic perspective, stating that the café is “not bad at all” but is better experienced upstairs. He further pointed out the relatively high prices compared to other Mardin locales, which could be a consideration for budget-conscious visitors.

Nonetheless, the strategic location near Emirgan AVM makes it a convenient stop whether you're shopping or simply exploring the city. David People may not offer dedicated parking, but the vibrant street activity and neighborhood charm more than make up for it. The café is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy a casual outing filled with warmth and camaraderie.

So, why not pay David People a visit? Indulge in a warm cup of sahlep and let the soothing sounds of live music envelop you. It’s more than just a café; it’s a delightful experience waiting to happen in the heart of Mardin.

Fena mekan değil. Ara ara ugradigimiz bir yer. Kışın alt kat kesinlikle oturulamaz. Çok soğuk. Üst katı tercih ediyor insanlar. Emirgan AVM karşısı. Lokasyon iyi. Ama kendine özel park yeri çok yok. Fiyatlar Mardin şartlarına göre pahalı. Bugün sahlep içtik eşimle. Ve 26 TL. Çalışanlar ne çok ilgili ne de ilgisizler orta karar. Canlı müzik içinde ugranilabilir. Keyifli vakit geçirebilirsiniz. Tuvaletler temiz. Ortam düzenli.
