The place is good for working as well, not so loudly.

It may be a very personal opinion, but I didn't like Kronotrop that much. I had read fantastic…read morethings about it and I was excited when I found out that our apartment was right on the corner so I thought it would be a fantastic spot for an early coffee. But first of all, as I read in another comment, I felt that service was a bit too cool for school. I wasn't there for that long, but it wasn't one of those places where you feel comfortable at. The point of specialty coffee places is not just offering good quality coffee, but also a whole experience, good client service included. At least, a smile! Second, there was literally nothing to eat with the coffee. I understand that the main product is the coffee, but for a place that opens that early in the morning, at least a piece of cake, a croissant...? Of course, that is the owner's decision, but I just found it a bit poor. I don't know if that's always like this, because when I was there, they had a full tray of bakes that weren't serving but instead, they took somewhere else. ¿? I didn't get it. And third, my flat white was just ok, it had a caramelized flavour that I didn't like that much, I've tried better. If I am ever back to Istanbul, I don't think I would go back to Kronotrop again... Although as I said, the reviews that I had read were very positive... maybe my expectations were too high!

Style over substance…read more MOC, as you can also tell from my pictures, is the picture perfect coffee shop. 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.
