    Almond croissant & Turkish coffee latte

    The almond croissant and Turkish coffee latte were amazing! The almond paste wasn't too sweet. The coffee was bold. We will come back for the great food!

    I went here as it was the most hyped place for dessert. It was the Galata location. It was busy, happening and full of energy. The wait was long but we got seated pretty quick. We found ourselves a nook facing the Galata tower. It was beautiful. Coming down to the coffee, I had the Turkish coffee and it was delicious you can't go wrong with ordering a Turkish coffee anywhere in Turkey. Came here was for the most hyped cheesecake it was absolutely divine. I did have these at other restaurant but theirs was hand down the best. Super creamy topped with generous melted chocolate definitely a 9/10. Service was superb and that's standard to Istanbul restaurants. Their hospitality is amazing even if they are extremely busy you will still feel welcomed and loved. Craving this cake, until next time.

    Dubai Latte And Lemonade (2 stars)

    We went with a Dubai latte and a lemonade. Both were pretty disappointing, but the view is great, so they charge an arm and a leg

    had to stop by the see what the hype was about regarding the san sebastián cheesecake & let me tell you it did not disappoint! The service was friendly & prompt which is always appreciated! I ordered the san sebastián cheesecake, hot chocolate & a bottle of water. The cheesecake was delicious & i think about it daily

    Very crowded and expect a 30 minute wait if you want to get seated in front of galata tower. You can skip the wait if you get it take away instead. They are famous for cheesecakes which runs about 660 Lira a piece. The staff are very busy here and impatient for you to hurry up and order. The cheesecake was just alright, it's different and tastes unlike America, but I would not say its extremely special

    Dubai Cheesecake

    This dessert is beyond delicious. Service was a little slow but understandable since it was a busy night. We ate upstairs and it was a bit warm in that area. If you like a crunchy chocolatey cheesecake, do order the Dubai one.

    An attraction for tourists like myself and being in front of Galata tower, they do their best managing traffic. There's two similar spots on the corner street too if you want to find something less crowded. The workers were friendly just a little slow for getting items like extra spoons. For one cheesecake, coffee, and tea it was about $15 USD for reference. Seating is very very tight so just be aware of that if you choose this location.

    Pastries

    We ordered Turkish coffees & a pastry at a very friendly cafe facing the Galatea Tower. The pastries looked delicious & every table was taken. There was an English speaking friendly waitress serving outdoor tables. Our pastries & coffees were about $12. Funny, I ordered Turkish coffee with milk & the waitress looked like I committed a crime, so no milk. Everything was delicious! This was a great spot for people watching, we even posed for pictures with some. Good food is a wonderful connection, it's funny to watch people all over the world taking pictures of their beautiful food, it's something we all have in common and can laugh and talk about. As we walked through Istanbul we realized this is the chain and they are all over the city.

    We came here for the cheesecake, as everyone does. I opted for the chocolate version. I found the chocolate way too sweet, and there was just too much of it. Once I scraped it off and ate the cheesecake itself, I really like it. The texture was spot on. Flavor was fantastic. Next time I will order it with the chocolate on the side .

    Tried the Instagram famous San Sebastian and it was delicious. The server also suggested use to try Viyana special drink which was a blend of hot chocolate and coffee topped with cream and it was yum. Situated overlooking the Galata tower gives the best views. Service was quick and people were friendly.

    The tiktok famous San Sebastián cheesecake
    Ash C.

    Great place to people watch and get that viral San Sebastian cheesecake which is also absolutely delicious. I have to have this cheesecake every time im in istanbul. The chocolate provides the decadence but otherwise its a very light cheesecake. Their coffee drinks are solid but i stick to the usual cappuccino. This coffee cafe is crowded by tourists and locals alike.

    This place is in front of the galata tower, extremely full of tourists and probably the only coffee place in the area. As expected, it is very busy and it takes a little bit to get your order. However we ordered Turkish coffee and it was as expected, very good and a nice little sweet Turkish delight to go with it. Everything looks amazing but don't go if you don't have time to wait.

    A cute cafe near galata tower with good food. Unfortunately the area is very crowded and people smoking on the table. We tried their famous pastry and it was so good.

    This is not a coffee shop where you can get coffee made. It only sells coffee. One of the things…read morethat makes the coffee special is that you can get roasted and grind daily and fresh coffee here. They also have I side coffee in cans. The aroma is nice when it is being roasted. The shop is small. It has two windows. It's like a drive-thru lol but you walk, no cars. You order in one window and get the coffee in a paper bag at the other window. They do not speak English here or try. Communication is easy because they only sell one type of coffee at the window and have two sizes. I did well with pointing. It is a place you want to know what you want before getting to the window. They have little patience and long lines. They run like robots here. It is crazy fast how work. Have payment on hand. The shop in near the spice market. The coffee here is well known. I bought some to take home. A week later the coffee smells just like it did when I first bought it. I intended to buy coffee so I packed zip bags for it. If u are traveling and dont want your clothes to smell like coffee i suggest to do the same.

    May be the best coffee as it's in many shops. Went to the actual store and noticed a line and you…read morecannot go in the store and take your time to see what you want. Once it's your turn, the guys were impatience and rushed you to order. If you were not fast enough, they gave you that look like you are in the way. Didn't really appreciate the service at all. So if you know what you want then stop by but if it's your first time, be ready to face the coffee cop.

    This place was AMAZING…read more After a very long chill and drink sesh at another establishment in the area, bae and I were hungry and tryna chow down on some turkish grub. This place was in the vicinity and decent according to trip advisor AND open late. The restaurant is gigantic. I'm not an expert on average restaurant sizes in Turkey but this is one of the biggest restaurants I've ever seen. It has like 5 levels and is decorated impeccably. Impeccable as a synonym for weird. We were kindly seated in this, I'm not joking, like library on the roof. I literally took panoramic snapchats with the caption "this is literally where we are eating dinner". We sat on the couch in the library and the food was placed on a coffee-table like structure in front of us. We went with hookah of course, because 6 hours of hookah prior to our arrival was clearly inadequate. The staff were impressively attentive to our coals and came to check up on them every 30 min or so. If you know us, it won't be surprising that we literally ordered the entire menu. We got boreka-like spinach and cheese SPRING ROLLS (wtf?), spinach and cheese pastry thing, hummus (OBVIOUSLY), zucchini fritters, meat-ravioli in a cream sauce, and pita bread (OBVIOUSLY). Everything was absolutely spectacular. We ate way more food than is probably recommended for health/safety reasons but it was worth it. The staff was absolutely incredible with how much attention they gave us. Because we were off in a colony on mars practically, we had no idea that the restaurant had pretty much closed down in the floors below. This abruptly came to my attention when I drunkenly attempted to search for the bathroom. Our waiter additionally went out of his way to flag our cab down on our way out. Amazing hospitality in this place. Anyways, this was honestly one of my best experiences in a restaurant to date. Highly recommend.

    Good food and service. On the pricier side. Great outdoor ambiance. Make sure to poke your head…read moreinside to see all of the lights. It's super cute inside.

When I arrived there was only one other customer inside. The restaurant decor was cute and I very comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

I had some of THEE BEST chicken kebab I've ever had in this country here. The beef kebab was also tender and flavorful. You cannot go wrong with any of these! The service was quick and prompt, and the servers were great at making recommendations. I came here in the winter so we sat indoors which felt a bit cramped however, there is also outdoor seating during the nicer weather months. If I'm ever back here in Istanbul, I would definitely come back. And if you're reading this, you NEED to try the Old Ottoman!
