Sitting outside, enjoying dessert while taking in one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, creates a truly unforgettable atmosphere. Of course, the star of the show is their famous San Sebastián cheesecake. It lived up to every bit of the hype. Perfectly creamy, rich, and slightly caramelized on the outside, it was incredible on its own--but the warm chocolate drizzle takes it to another level. Every bite was indulgent without being overly sweet, making it one of the best desserts I've had anywhere. The combination of amazing food, excellent coffee, and a front-row view of the beautiful Galata Tower makes this a must-visit spot in Istanbul. Whether you're looking for the perfect dessert, a relaxing café experience, or an Instagram-worthy view, Viyana Kahvesi delivers on all fronts. A true Istanbul gem that I'll be thinking about long after returning home.

I of course had to try the cheesecake and it really was that good. Paired really well with a black Turkish coffee to cut the richness of it. I'm still thinking about it, weeks later!!

He said they were a bit pricey but worth it and I agree. My first visit i went to just try out the goodies. I purchased three baklava treats. (pistachio, chocolate and walnut) They were all delicious and rich. My favorite was the walnut. They also sell other baked goods and coffee. I visited another location and purchased a few to go home. The staff were very sweet and welcoming. Definitely a place to check out.

I love Turkish desserts over any desi desserts, cakes, pastries, chocolates but maybe not the French croissants. My favorite are anything with walnut and pistachios. I love their Kunafa which is perfectly sized not too big or small super fresh and gives you an option to go with honey or sugar syrup.I always choose the later I'm not too big a fan of honey on a kunafa. But the star here is is the big slice of plain baklava with a thick layer or pistachios courses grounded with their signature ice cream. My goodness it is goodness on a plate. I love it with their basic kewa. The service is always top notch. Their locations their pick are top notch too. Price point -it isn't cheap but definitely worth every penny. There are lots of prepackaged goodies like nuts, Turkish delights etc to buy. I always get their baklava packed in a tin and bring it back their guarantee it's freshness for 10 days. I usually freeze it and eat it as and when I like. Works great. Their locations are beautifully done in their standard theme. I dream of their baklavas every time I'm in Turkey. They do have a few locations in other countries like UAE and England but not in many I hope to see them come to Canada soon.

I guess that, having now been there for a light breakfast five mornings out of the six here in Istanbul (I should have gone on the day I missed, too) probably says it all. Decent coffee, really fresh croissants and all at a sensible price. Good value too. It's only about 5 minutes from Taksim Square (just past Carrefour) so not too far to walk from the metro. Well done to the team at Olimpia - it'll be a take away on Saturday as I'll be working earlier.

They have a huge menu of items so there is something for every taste.(See menu photos). Just stopped for drinks and something sweet on a hot afternoon. Orderedf the fruity waffle. If you like chocolate you are luck. Loaded with milk chocolate (like Nutella). The Frozen drinks are delicious. Many flavors to choose. Suggest trying the Dut frozen drink for something local, different and delicious. Ask for no ice cubes (büz yok) to get the most drink. The milkshakes were less impressive. They are not thick like Canada so be prepared for something more milky. Overall good experience. Will come back to try more!
