Sweet Diplomacy Over Breakfast: A Delightful Morning at Cafer Erol in Knightsbridge
In the heart of Knightsbridge, where tradition meets trend, an extraordinary breakfast gathering took place at the newly opened Cafer Erol—a dazzling jewel of Turkish confectionery. A meeting steeped in sweetness and diplomacy, it brought together Mayor Will Lane of Chelsea & Kensington, his fiancée, Turkish Ambassador to the UK Koray Ertaş, and other distinguished guests, including the Chairman of the Association of Turkish-British Journalists, Alpaslan Düven.
The morning was more than just simit and Turkish tea. It was a celebration of cultural harmony, community investment, and shared curiosity. Mayor Lane, glowing with enthusiasm, praised Cafer Erol’s contribution to the vibrancy of the borough, calling the store “a colorful bridge between cultures, where every bite tells a story.” He commended the bold vision behind bringing such an iconic Turkish brand to London, marking it as a symbol of culinary diplomacy and entrepreneurial courage.
Expressing his admiration for Istanbul, Mayor Lane shared his eagerness to explore the city’s historical soul and vibrant spirit firsthand. “If Cafer Erol is a taste of what awaits in Türkiye,” he said with a smile, “I’m already enchanted.”
Ambassador Ertaş graciously thanked the Mayor for his warm welcome and continued support of the Turkish community in London, emphasizing that ventures like Cafer Erol not only sweeten the streets but also deepen the bonds between two great nations.
As trays of jewel-like lokum and golden baklava circled the table, the breakfast became a moment of living art—where diplomacy was delicious, and every conversation left a lingering taste of friendship.
A new chapter has begun for Cafer Erol in London, one written with sugar, sincerity, and the promise of shared futures.
