If a customer at Haft Coffee Roastery says the muffins taste like prison food, it’s a compliment to the chef.

The coffee shop, situated in the ocean-side town of Yalova, Turkey, is designed to look and feel like a Turkish prison.

According to Vice, guests enter the four-story establishment by way of an elevator, where they can take faux mug shots. Waiters in orange jumpsuits serve patrons food in cell-like enclosures.

Considering the country’s political situation — nearly 50,000 people are currently imprisoned in the wake of a failed coup and more than 150 journalists are reportedly incarcerated for doing their jobs — anybody visiting Haft must feel lucky that the spot is play prison and not the real thing.

It’s easy to imagine that Haft was opened to make a point about oppression. But owners insist that that’s not the case.

“It was purely [for] a commercial purpose, to bring to life the story of an action movie or ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ ” co-owner Canhür Aktuglu, formerly a graphic designer, tells Vice.

“The architecture of a coffee shop closely resembles that of a prison and the orange outfits are the most memorable of all costumes.”

For a final bit of irony/reality, if you check out Haft at the right time, you’ll get a server who came very close to real-life imprisonment.

Sana, a 23-year-old barista tells Vice he escaped from Iran after he suspected that an arrest was impending.

He landed in Turkey and scored a job at Haft.

“I was going to jail, so I just ran away,” he told Vice. “Now I came here — to a jail cafe.”
