A café with a authentic story crossed from Africa to the Ottoman Empire and three generations long. A very cozy, sweet small place! Special with the interior and vintage design. Here you can enjoy a delicious coffee during your walk through Galata and arround. Staff is really friendly and helpfull. Recommended👌 @Selontour

This old establishment has been doing business for 3 generations.Turkish coffee is served in antique coffee cups and the food is delicious.Definitely worthwhile to be there.

Quaint, cute spot down a small alley, close to Galata Tower. Food was local and great for pics but nothing I would come back for.

Cozy place with authentic environment and tasty omelet. Good for work with laptop and cappuccino.

A cute little cafe just around from the Galata Tower. Plenty of Grandmas effects on the wall.A nice experience but it would be really nice if the staff didnt stand at the counter chatting for the entire time we were there - it was just behind us. Didnt they have work to do for 30 minutes?

Lovely quality cafe that I like for its vintage style and tasty drinks, but their outlet at Balat is better than this one in Galata, in terms of size, decor and drinks.

Really nice place to relax with a small cup of tea after seeing the Galata Tower. Nice calm feeling with good drinks. Didn’t get to try the food, but it looked great as well.

Very stylish place! Nice atmosphere, it feels like with time machine you got back to the beginning of 20th century :) Turkish breakfast is good! We took 2 for both of us, but didnt finish it. I think its enough to share one of you dont want to overeat )

Decided to try this place after reading the reviews. It was very difficult to find at first because the area is very congested and its in a very narrow street. Anyway after locating it i peeked inside and it was a tiny cafe full of customers. I managed to find the only table empty and sat down ordered. The atmosphere and the ambiance is not spectacular but its very comforting and warm. The staff were very polite and welcoming. My toast arrived and it was very basic but very tasty and natural. I really enjoyed this place. I would definitely return.

Very nice and cosy atmosphere. Phantastic Turkish breakfast.

Amazing cafe, very close to Galata tower. Great coffee, tasty breakfast, cozy beautiful place, and very nice people. They have some great desserts as well and very tasty. Wifi is available. Highly recommended.

This place is a good escape from the daily hustle near the Galata Tower, if you want to have a proper rest with a drink or a meal. The exceptional story and concept of this cafe is something that is lacking and uncommon in most cafes today in Istanbul.

Amazing cozy home like place. Wonderful decoration and tasty food.Choose your cup of coffee thing is cool

Beautiful place. The coffee latte was fine although they need a professional espresso machine.

Adorable place ! Loved the decor, the food, the music and the service !Very good authentic Turkish breakfast, everything is in the details. If you want an authentic experience you should pass by :)

Amazing place with a big collection of antique tableware. You can be served a turkish coffee in an antique tiny cup from Italy.

Amazing breakfast. My fiancee and I ordered the shared breakfast for two and it was so delicious. After, we ordered Turkish coffee and we were asked to choose which vintage teacup (some date back to the 50s)to drink from - very nice touch! The staff were extremely hospitable, and the vibe of the cafe is homely and cosy. One of the best cafes in Istanbul.

A hidden gem! Walking down a side street near the Galata Tower and came across this cafe! Loved the theme and the cozy dinning! The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended for coffee, tea or breakfast.

Make art, not war.

Probably my favourite place so far in Istanbul. Cute concept, lovely crockery, nice food and coffee. Felt the menemen was a bit flavourless sadly, but many other positives to enjoy.

Nice food.. Nice atmosphere.. Nice staff.. But for those with babies keep in mind that the Cafe is small.. I had to fold my babys pushchair and they didnt have a baby chair but I still enjoyed my time there..

Cute vintage coffee cups for Turkish coffee servings coupled with a simple yet nice traditional tomato and egg breakfast. Cosy, yet delightful. Great start to the day.

Perfect choice for a turkish breakfast. Quality ingredients, cosy and family environment. Beautiful decor.

Dainty little café near the Galata tower filled with memories of the past! Serves homemade desserts and tea or coffee in antique tea cups! Definitely recommend their famous buttery, melt in your mouth helva! Cafe is very small so you may not be able to find a seat or feel comfortable sitting and chatting for a while.... so keep that in mind

Place is nice, juice is good, coffee is not good at all

Cozy atmosphere, gentle service and authentic Turkish flavors. Highly recommended!

It is a cosy café close to galata tower ...the best limonade i have drunken in my life with fresh mint...oh my god...you have to try it...the staff is very kind, the atmosphère is very cosy, i liked the decoration with many beautiful tea cups...

Such a lovely cafe in the heart of Galata area. Sweet and cozy with amazing vintage decoration. The helva is the the best I have ever eaten! Love this place!

We just had breakfast there, the owner great person. While we wait he offered tea and told is his and his family’s story which is very interestingThe taste of food great, most of them home made and delicious

Cosy spot for some breakfast. Great service too, the decor is very cute its a small place so go early before the locals come in. A great place in Galata which has a variety of options, but this is definitely worth trying! Menemen and Turkish tea, best combination to start the day

Helva was super delicious, staff were kind. I will go to try the coffees...Nice atmosphere

The best cafe in Istanbul and the best helvas we have ever tasted!

Everything was so good. This place is cosy and has a nice vintage vibe. Love it !

Cute cafe with great food. Would highly recommend 👌🏾

I LOVE this place, amazing as usual 🌿💕

Unique atmosphere. You will find this place either by great chance or by looking thoroughly, it has a small entrance but since the very first step you will find yourself in a parallel universe. French old music playing and an ambiance that recall Montmartre’s vibes. Took a Turkish coffee and a small sweet that filled some time in our Galata tour. Good choice in furnishing the place and I really liked the part where you chose your cup after hearing a brief historic intro of each. Just go there and get transported!

Good atmosphere, great service and attention to detail. Nice Turkish breakfast and menemen. I recommend this quirky spot

Love this place for the atmosphere, music, peacefulness and coffee ❤️

Cute French themed cafe, inexpensive eats. Was worth the hike up the hill to get there and rest out of the heat for a while.

Amazing experience eating there, great atmosphere, tasty food and fantastic service! Strongly recommend visitting it. We also asked the owners about landmarks that were nearby and she was very helpful at guiding us! Thank you so so much!!!

Family-run cozy place with homemade pastries, great coffee and tasty traditional Turkish breakfast.

Is good and nice place,

It is very nice cafe, we felt the warmth and peace there, i like the idea of choosing my vintage cup for the tasty coffee .I’ve given only four stars because i remember my feet suffered from the sugar which has been left without cleaning on the floor.Generally It was very nice place.

Kind staff, place is small, cozy and atmosphere is really nice, also you’re able to choose your coffee cup among 5 that each has different stories behind☕️

Amazing place, the guy working was about to close at 8pm but still served us. Tried few things all amazing!! The Cafe is so original, cozy and amazing location.

Highly recommend this quaint little café! Their cheese omelette is the BEST OMLETTE IVE EVER HAD.Simple menu, great food and coffee. Recommend the cheese omelette and scrambled eggs with tomato and peppers.

Awesome breakfast! Amazing services with all tasty home-made sauces dotted around the cheese plate😋Need to come back for another breakfast for sure!

Lovely little place with Turk Breakfast. Maybe 2 people only order for one person. There’s two 4 person tables and four or five 2 person tables. It’s a small but quaint cafe in the Galata area.

One of the best breakfast places we’ve visited in Istanbul! It’s like been at somebody’s home - so cozy and warm.

Very uniquely designed small cafe near Galata bridge I love the antique decor style, good place for breakfast or just for snacks tea and coffee.

Cute and sentimental interior. Nicest waiters I’ve met in Istanbul. A perfect place for a brunch!

Very kind people, everything served with my attention , the food also fresh and delicious. I like decorations ( you can find your gramma Turkish coffee cup there , very cute )

Turkish breakfast didnt include eggs. Cappuccino wasnt good.Staff is nice. Location is perfect.

Unique, I liked the concept.The barista was unfriendly

Cozy, homey, fresh and delicious food and friendly service. Unique touches, must visit!

Great Turkish breakfast, would highly recommend!

Amazing place!!!5 stars

Excellent! Perfect brunch following visit to Galata Tower (we shared an omelette, scrambled eggs w tomato & cheese, slice of orange cake, watermelon passion fruit cold frothy juice). Turkish coffee served in vintage china a nice touch. Great service. Cozy, eclectic decor. Highly recommend

The black coffee not that much good

Fantastic breakfast

A very homy place. The menu is variant and delicious. I specially recommend the dessert menu. The staff are very professional and friendly. Service is fast. I didn’t mind the place being small and and the entrance being narrow due to the nice overall atmosphere.

We stumbled across this stunning quirky little cafe as we explored the area around the Galata tower. Lovely deco, friendly staff and great food. We went for breakfast and then visited again for pudding / dessert. Highly recommend this cafe :)

Amazing breakfast and reasonable prize

Its so nice, I strongly recommend it for jazz fans.

Lovely homely cafe. Felt like Grandmas house with the dexor and chandeliers. Good service and very helpful and friendly.

Very nice place, great coffee, cool people

I loved this place! So cozy and authentic. The staff was wonderful, friendly and mindful of clients. My drink with the forest fruits was super tasty and the presentation was beautiful. I would happily come back to work here or with a friend to spend a gloomy winter afternoon.

Very nice little quaint place. Nice place to have a little chit chat and take Instagram pictures outside the cafe walls.

Wonderful place. Very small intimate but the breakfast and desserts are incredible. I would recommend the mums pudding.

Very nice and cozy place, staff is very friendly and polite and good prices too. They have omelets for those who are looking for something else besides bread and jam, small many though but good! I’m definitely coming back here next time I’m in Istanbul

Love this cafe! Have come here in both my last trips to Istanbul. The staff are very friendly and the place has such a cosy charm to it. Not to mention it is one of very few place that makes the traditional Turkish desert, un helvasi which everyone should try. If you are in Galata area this should definitely be your mid afternoon tea spot always

Feels like you eat breakfast at home ,very polite and kind people ,and they pay attention to every detail ..even on the fact that they bring you cups to pick for your coffee and each cup has a story and an origin !

This place is an embarrassment to Turkish food.Not authentic at all. You pay money for the location but the amount of food and the quality of food is not worth it at ALL. The location is excellent, the decor is very nice. The serpme (typical Turkish breakfast) includes a single boiled egg to share between 2 people. No sign of menemen, only a single jam. No refills of Turkish tea. No Turkish sausage. This place is extremely popular with tourists however theyre unfamiliar with the real Turkish culture.For a better experience, head to F&B culture which is only a few minutes away and get a real Turkish breakfast with more food, less money and better customer service.

Amazing

Very cosy, nice decoration, deserts are great

Wonderful place!

Place was amazing. Staff was really nice and food was really really tasty. Everything well prepared and delicious. Would really recommend!

Cute cafe, nice views, good atmosphere, nicely decorated. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely quaint little cafe, clearly very popular because several people had to be turned away as the place was full. Come before 11am to make sure you can grab a table. Excellent menemen, served with fresh brown bread. Quite an experience to come here for breakfast.

Cozy place with lovely staffdelicious breakfastReasonable price

Cosy place, was passing by from our hotel to the local shops when we decided to pop in, the food was good and prices very cheap!great place overall

It’s an experience eating here. The vibe of the staff and the place adds to the flavour of the food. Highly recommend.

Stayed in Istanbul for a week and from all the places to eat, this was definitely my favorite. The food was delicious and the place is sooo pretty. It s a very small restaurant but if you get to go, you won’t regret.

Nice restaurant with a great atmosphere, I order one plate traditional Turkish breakfast + omelet it was delicious and more than enough for two persons , it is a little bit difficult to find but it is totally worth the visit

Everything we ordered was so delicious! We had an option to choose our vintage coffee cups..so charming.Good service.inexpensive .. highly recommended

Very good breakfast with retro style design. Good service, worth to try!

Magnificient breakfast, the best i’ve ever had in istanbul so far! Can’t wait to be back. Menemen is mandatory! The owners and the theme are really kind.

Five star Turkish breakfast plate. If you’re not familiar these plates have a central plate with 3 types of cheese and 14 tiny side dishes with everything from olives and Zatar to homemade honey and homemade marmalade ( the orange and quince where to die for!). This breakfast also came with all you can drink tea. I got a Turkish coffee on the side and they let you choose which antique cup to drink with!We also had their borek and menemen , both where superb dishes.Lastly, this place gets five stars for ambiance alone. It’s full of antiques and fine china. Feels like you’re in a tea shop, my wife and mother in law where very impressed (tough to do but always try to impress that mother in law.)

Everything was delicious and people were really friendly and welcoming!! Totally worth visiting

Their turkish coffee with helva is the best that ever can taste

Great cosy place, great breakfast and great service! What else could you ask for? It is a small place, so better making a reservation

Reasonable price and gentle stuff around. Teas always fresh not overbrew. Choosing your antic Turkish coofee cup terrific!!!

Amazing breakfast and service :)

Atypical and wonderful place to go for breakfast or else.Nice people work in this place.Go for your pleasure of life.

Cute little hipster cafe. Cheap and good service with attentive staff who speak English well.

Very nice and cosy place to have a cup of tea or coffee. The halva and apple pastries are quite delicious. It has great atmospher and a nice collection of antique cups used for serving hot beverages to customers. The cafe smells like fresh backed cookies right out of the oven, like grandmas house...

Fascinating atmosphere here, very comfortable and friendly. Extremely tasty coffee also:)

What a wonderful find! Petite, cosy, calm cafe with excellent prepared breakfast. I tried scrambled eggs, yogurt mixed with fresh cut fruits, cheese pastry and a traditional Ayran cool soothing drink (milky) perfect beverage to cool you down during the summer months. Prices are reasonable, highly recommend to come here before you go to Galata Tower which around the corner. Before I left I ordered an Expresso and recieved it in a 1940s traditional cup. Picture attached. Awesome.

Cute little place near Galata tower with quirky interior, great coffee, tea and food. The staff is lovely too and prices are just fine.
