This is not a coffee shop where you can get coffee made. It only sells coffee. One of the things…read morethat makes the coffee special is that you can get roasted and grind daily and fresh coffee here. They also have I side coffee in cans. The aroma is nice when it is being roasted. The shop is small. It has two windows. It's like a drive-thru lol but you walk, no cars. You order in one window and get the coffee in a paper bag at the other window. They do not speak English here or try. Communication is easy because they only sell one type of coffee at the window and have two sizes. I did well with pointing. It is a place you want to know what you want before getting to the window. They have little patience and long lines. They run like robots here. It is crazy fast how work. Have payment on hand. The shop in near the spice market. The coffee here is well known. I bought some to take home. A week later the coffee smells just like it did when I first bought it. I intended to buy coffee so I packed zip bags for it. If u are traveling and dont want your clothes to smell like coffee i suggest to do the same.

Once it's your turn, the guys were impatience and rushed you to order. If you were not fast enough, they gave you that look like you are in the way. Didn't really appreciate the service at all. So if you know what you want then stop by but if it's your first time, be ready to face the coffee cop.

I came here twice, once for cocktails, once for coffee…read more Let's start with the cocktails. I'm a fan of a really good cocktail. In every city I go to I try and find a really good cocktail place, the kind of place they is doing their own recipes and is doing them well, or the place that does classics really well. I think we should aspire to get the best cocktails we can in life, and that relies largely on the bartenders being great at what they do. I skimmed the menu for cocktails and boy was I disappointed. There wasn't anything on the menu that piqued my interest. Some classics, some semi original, but nothing too creative. Most of the drinks looked like a combination of a few liqueurs, but no syrups or other potential flavor profiles. After skimming the menu, I asked if they had mescal or could make me a mescal drink, and they didn't have it. I ended up going for a drink with whiskey and bitters and a few other ingredients. I was not expecting much, and what I got tasted like it was whiskey with some bitters for $15. My friend got a rose flavored gin drink and it was quite sweet and nothing that was good enough for me to remember the ingredients. In general the menu felt like combinations of liqueurs and not like a cocktail menu. Our one drink was up and, given that the menu didn't excite me or my guest, we departed after paying nearly 30 lira a drink. If I compare this experience to an experience I had A few weeks earlier at a cocktail bar in Copenhagen where I got a completely original mescal drink from an inspired bartender, I cannot put them in the same ballpark. The Copenhagen cocktail was miles ahead of this one. Round 2, we return during the day for coffee. A semi sunny winter day in Istanbul, my friend and I are in need of a good cappuccino to start our day off right. We decide to try the place with the slightly disappointing cocktails and see if their coffee is as good as what the reviews say. We walk in, order 2 cappuccinos and 2 croissants. The cappuccinos are served at an absurdly high temperature, much closer to 95°C than 75°C. They are hot enough to completely burn your mouth with a sip. I was rather astounded by this, as the temperature of the milk was clearly much too hot. Anyone who had served that should have known the milk had been over steamed and started over. The milk temperature being as high as it was meant the texture of the milk had been abused at this point as well, and that left a sort of buttery consistency in the mouth. All together not a pleasing cup to drink, and violating a lot of my understanding of a quality cappuccino. The espresso might have been interesting, but the cappuccino's temperature and texture completely masked that. We finished our drinks, paid more than we would have at kronotrop down the street for a better prepared cappuccino, and left. I resolved to write the review because my experiences don't match the other reviewers here. Give this place a try if you'd like but my experience was less than stellar for both cocktails and coffee, and I would not recommend it to friends.

The coffee is always the perfect temperature, froth is always beautiful. Their coffees are on the strong side, which is how they are supposed to be. They are pet friendly too. The only thing that I dislike about this MOC (but it is no different than any other cafe/restaurant in Istanbul) is the smoking. Their smoking section is connected to the no smoking section so no matter where you sit, you will breathe second hand smoke. They have the capability of closing the door to keep it separate but it would cause the waiters to continuously have to open and close them if they were serving both sides. Thats the only reason I gave them 4 stars. This is a fairly large shop with lots of people and activity, lots of tables to sit and enjoy, if it weren't for the smoke.
