Hafız Mustafa 1864: Istanbul's historic confectioner

Hafız Mustafa 1864 (also written Hafiz Mustafa) is the oldest confectioner still trading in Istanbul, founded in 1864 by Hacı İsmail Hakkızade Hafız Mustafa. Its shops in the old city and along İstiklal are known for two things: the counters of baklava, kadayıf and milk puddings eaten on the spot, and the red metal tins that leave with visitors as the standard Istanbul gift. The house makes baklava, Turkish delight (lokum), dragée, salep and Turkish coffee to its own recipes, and states that its sweets are made without additives or preservatives, with natural beet sugar.

Together with Karaköy Güllüoğlu it is the brand TurkishTaste.com customers have ordered most since 2020. Where Güllüoğlu is a single-shop baklava specialist, Hafız Mustafa is the full Ottoman sweet counter — which is why the range below runs from a 250 g box of lokum to a 2.2 kg tin.

How we buy, pack and ship Hafız Mustafa

TurkishTaste.com keeps no stock. When your order arrives we buy it at a Hafız Mustafa shop in Istanbul the same day, pack the tin or box with cushioning and hand it to DHL Express. You receive a tracking number by email; parcels typically reach the United States, the United Kingdom, EU countries and the other countries we serve within a few business days. Destinations, delivery times and fees are on our Delivery & Returns page and confirmed at checkout. If a tin arrives damaged, photograph it and write to us the same day.

Ordering from TurkishTaste.com or from the brand directly?

Hafız Mustafa has its own website, hafizmustafa.com. TurkishTaste.com is an independent Istanbul retailer and is not affiliated with the brand; we buy at the shop and ship abroad. Ordering through us makes sense when you want a Hafız Mustafa tin in the same parcel as Karaköy Güllüoğlu baklava, Hacı Bekir lokum, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi coffee, Çaykur tea or Turkish honey — one shipping fee, one tracking number, and a shop that answers its own emails in English.
