Dearborn celebrates its rich coffee culture with Dearborn Coffee Week

At Galata Sweets, we are proud to sponsor Dearborn Coffee Week, a celebration that highlights the deep connection between coffee, community, and culture. Coffee has always been more than a drink—it is a ritual, a memory, and a tradition that brings people together.

Turkish Coffee: A Cup of Memories

Among the world’s most iconic brews, Turkish coffee holds a very special place. In Turkish culture, coffee is not just enjoyed—it is lived. A cup of Turkish coffee is shared at every milestone of life:

• Marriage traditions: where the bride serves coffee to the groom’s family.

• Weddings: a symbol of hospitality and togetherness.

• Funerals and farewells: offering comfort and remembrance.

Every sip carries centuries of history, and every cup tells a story.

Istanbul: The Birthplace of Coffeehouses

The world’s first coffeehouse opened in Istanbul in the 16th century, becoming a hub of culture, poetry, music, and conversation. From there, coffee spread across the globe, shaping traditions and inspiring countless communities—including right here in Dearborn.

Galata Sweets: Bridging Istanbul and Dearborn

Our slogan, “You are one bite away from Istanbul,” reminds us that every cup we serve at Galata Sweets is a bridge between the past and the present, Istanbul and Dearborn. We are honored to bring this tradition to life during Dearborn Coffee Week—sharing not only the taste of Turkish coffee, but the stories and cultural memories that come with it.

☕ Special Offer: To celebrate, we at Galata Sweets are offering free Turkish coffee from September 26 – October 3 during Dearborn Coffee Week. Come visit us, enjoy a cup of tradition, and be part of this cultural journey.
