About Us
Mennan Patisserie, located in İzmir’s historic Kemeraltı Bazaar in Hisarönü, has been a witness to history while preserving its tradition of flavor since 1936.
Mennan Patisserie is more than just a patisserie; it is a living part of İzmir’s cultural heritage and passion for flavor. With a history dating back 2,400 years, Kemeraltı Bazaar—originating in the Hellenistic period—continues to be İzmir’s vibrant center of commerce and gastronomy, and is one of the largest open-air bazaars in the world.
Located in this key area—where İzmir’s spiritual heart, the Hisar Mosque (built in 1592), the iconic Kızlarağası Inn (constructed in 1744), and the ever-changing colors of the flower market come together—Mennan Patisserie brings the flavors of the past into the present.
“A journey where heritage turns into flavor…”
Founded in 1936 by Halil Aygen’s mastery, nurtured with dedication by Mennan Aygen, and carried into the future today by Adnan Aygen, his daughters, and a devoted team — this is our story.
In every dessert, the heritage of three generations lives on, infused with craftsmanship and love.
Mennan Patisserie – A timeless delicacy, from tradition to the future.
The roots of Mennan Patisserie trace back to Uşak, where the masterful journey began with Halil Aygen, known as the “Palace Sherbet Maker.”
This legacy evolved into a flavorful story carried on with the same care and dedication by his son, Adnan Aygen.
