My partner and I went to stop for a quick coffee on the way to Galata Tower. I ordered a caramel cappuccino and at first he laughed a little because he wasn’t sure that was a drink the existed but still ended up making the best caramel cappuccino I’ve ever tasted! For some reason our cards weren’t working and initially we only had slightly less than the full price cash on us and he was quite willing to settle the price - we found some more and insisted to pay full price. Very friendly and cute 16 year old dog. An unexpectedly lovely stop

Lovely! Simple food, but prepared and served well - with nice attention to detail. Ideal for a quick bite to eat, and the owner gave excellent service. The Turkish coffee was especially good.Recommended!

The sign in front of the cafe says “Good coffee and good people” which is completely true. I would only add “and good boy” as you are greeted by an adorable golden retriever
