I don't drink Turkish coffee and can't have much caffeine, but I tried an iced cappucino anyway, and it was without a doubt the best cappucino I've had in Istanbul. That said, I don't recommend ordering basic coffee drinks - try something off of the Turkish coffee menu! The texture and flavors are truly something else!

It's what every coffee shop wants to be, hip, inviting, comfortable, friendly, full of people from all walks of life, from the young, to the seasoned, to people with their pets, it's "the" hip meeting point for those who have long forgotten about the cat piss they serve at Starbucks. And this review would've been 5 stars if I only had one quick coffee there and left. I would've said "Yes it's expensive but it's worth it" for their coffee variety is amazing, they even have Australian coffee on the menu. However, everything after that first aeropress, which was quite good, was a let down. The cappuccino I got afterwards was terrible, bad enough for me to send it back after one sip and order a V.60, which thankfully was much better. They still charged me for the cappuccino, which goes to show you the service standards. However the sandwich tops the cake. The veggie sandwich I ordered was blander than sand, even Starbucks doesn't serve sandwiches of this mediocrity. It's a complete rip off at 18 lira. Not even the location can justify that markup. They got the atmosphere down to a T, and it really looks like the quintessential coffee shop, it's a shame that it's such a mixed bag. I was hoping for much, much more. I will recommend the Aerodrip and V.60, but do not expect great service, and I would stay away from the food, I fear the veggie sandwich not being the exception.

Kuruçeşme Aşşk* kahve opened its doors in August 1997, at a time when there were not many cafes alike in Istanbul, and quickly became very popular among people from different walks of life, who were in need of a relaxing, quality place, where they can eat light and healthy food, have good coffee and tea, and meet and socialize with different people. With its spectacular location by the bosphorus, Kuruçeşme Aşşk* has since long been an Istanbul classic, attracting also many visitors from different countries. Downtown branch of Aşşk* has opened in Nişantası in April 2007, bringing its modern location of "Reasürans çarşısı" a chic, natural and fresh atmosphere. The menu of Aşşk* kahve has expanded over the years, offering a large selection of choices, including its famous Turkish breakfast, and appetizers and main courses to blend traditional tastes with more modern choices. Emphasis has always been on healthy choices, like organic products whenever possible, and quality raw materials like mineral rich sea salts, virgin olive oils, homemade preservative free breads, and other home made products like ketchup, mayonnaise and granola.
