We enjoyed several desserts & all either very good or excellent. Although it's rather expensive ($10.00/pp) it was worth it. If you're in town & fancy a delicious dessert, go hear.

Overpriced but delicious, these waffles are worth the hype. I had almond chocolate sauce and would…read moredefinitely get that again. The taste was phenomenal (and I have tried plenty of waffle places in Istanbul). I think it's work the 13tl they cost. One star dropped because the man behind the counter was rushing us so hard, even though there was really no line. It was stressful for my friends who didn't really have time to decide what they wanted before the guy started lathering everything on. All said, not a bad thing though! =D

It taste like a regular waffle, I could make at home. Cosmetically this place isn't isn't too run home about. I have seen much better looking places

I had the recent fortune of spending ten days in Istanbul and this small shop was one of the (non-historic site) highlights of the trip. Five of us were visiting from the U.S. and were being shown around by our Turkish friend. The shop has a variety of flavors and the gelato tastes very fresh. I am always impressed by the cream that is used in Europe - it makes everything, dairy based, incredible. I had a chocolate based flavor that was rich with both the cream I mentioned before as well as strong hints of cocoa. The waffle cone was fresh and had a sweetness to it. Admittedly, the waffle cone is one of the better ones in the world, but not unique to Cremeria - the gelato however is - and it is the combination that makes this a stop worth making whether a native or international visitor.

Karakoy is an amazing area to hang out with many cool and trendy restaurants to choose from. Among…read morethem, there is Key Karakoy which should definitely be checked out! The decoration is amazing and the ambiance, music and vibe is trendy and fun. The menu offers a great selection of turkish food stables such as Kumpir (loaded baked potatoes, Manti (ravioli covered in yogurt sauce) and traditional Turkish breakfast (great spread of cheese, olives, meats, eggs, tea, etc) or pancake breakfast with a lot of dipping sauces and side items. The service was really great and the experience was overall awesome. My one complain was that, when we were paying by credit card, the waiter suggested a higher than usual tip and assumed that would be okay, it was awkward to have to tell him to tone it down a notch.

First of all, love love love this area! Tons of cafes and stores here. We tried a variety of dishes…read morefrom manti to pizza to kofte. The manti was probably my favorite dish. I'm not sure if that's mozzarella on the pizza - but that was delish! Stop in for dessert and get a waffle with Nutella, strawberries and bananas!! So fresh and delicious. The staff is attentive and welcoming. Casual vibe with eclectic decor.
