We visited the Galata tower location on our recent visit and wanted to try the infamous cheesecake. We were promptly seated and service was great. My family is currently obsessed with all things Dubai Chocolate so decided to try the Dubai Chocolate version of the cheesecake along with a few other desserts. Boy oh boy, they sure did live up to the hype! Each dessert was decadent- beautifully nutty pistachios and the smoothest chocolate. Definitely a treat worth indulging in after the long walk up to the Galata Tower.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Viyana Kahvesi was one of my favorite café experiences in Istanbul. The location alone is worth visiting, with an absolutely stunning view of the iconic Galata Tower. 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. read more
This cafe is famous for its fun locations with a nice patio and its rich San Sebastián style cheesecake. I tried the Dubai chocolate version with pistachio, Belgian chocolate and knafeh....it's almost too rich to handle. The plain version is also delicious. There are multiple locations. This one is located in the courtyard of a famous building, the Narmanli Han on Istiklal street, with a lovely fountain outside. Very nice patio and great service. Super polite and fast. There's also a gorgeous location next to the Galata Tower. read more
Popular for a reason. The coffee is delicious and the view is wonderful for people watching! The service was super quick and efficient and everyone was friendly. 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!! read more
