Pungent but tender. With a titillating aroma and mesmerizing depth of taste. In the cup, tiny and bottomless simultaneously, under the velvety foam, there are only a few sips and a 500-year his under the velvety factory. Corduroy among drinks, Turkish coffee will welcome you to its embrace in its own historic homeland, in Turkey.
However, if you want to start the day with a cup of aromatic Turkish coffee, you will be disappointed: most coffee shops open closer to lunch, and for local residents, coffee drinking is not a morning ritual. If you want to try real Turkish coffee, you should wait for lunch and find a coffee shop specializing in making the right Turkish coffee-on coals. So, here is a list of places to drink coffee in Istanbul.
Turkish coffee is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. But when they say “Turkish coffee ,” they do not mean the country of origin, but the preparation method.
Coffee shop in an alley near St. Anthony’s Cathedral on Istiklal Avenue Cemil Filik and his sons have been making coffee in a tiny coffee shop in an alley next to the bustling Istiklal Avenue since 1967. The name of the coffee shop Mandabatmaz means “The buffalo will not drown.” This refers to the strong foam on the coffee, which can withstand even a buffalo. It is he who is depicted on the sign of the coffee shop. And it opens after lunch.
Hazzopulo Passage (Beyoglu)
Feel free to step under the sign of Hazzopulo Pasaj, and do not be afraid of the toy and costume jewelry stores at the entrance. After 15-20 meters, you will find yourself in a reality parallel to the noisy Istiklal Avenue. Among the old half-decayed buildings, antique shops, and design workshops, the coffee and tea kingdom are hidden in the ivy-covered gazebos of the tiny courtyard. It is here that the locals run away from the central avenue for tea, coffee, or hookah.
