Petra

İnanç's Picks

No. 1

Beyoğlu

Probador Colectiva“An eclectic company with a witty vision, a take on coffee and a respect for its work that never bangs its fist on the table, yet you can read its lips. I'm from the neighbourhood, so I go often, and every time I buy consistently roasted beans and drink delicious brews.

No. 2

Beyoğlu

Old Java“A place old-school coffee people like me stay loyal to, and my regular stop for years, with an ambience true to the spirit of Galata and a balanced choice of coffees. The historic buildings on its street and its calm amid the chaos make it a different kind of comfort too. Its African selections can be quite avant-garde.

Whole Bean Coffee Roasters“Let's end the list with a slightly emotional choice, but one with plenty of respect. Since the day it opened, WBCR has been where I buy beans for home: the project of a modest, hard-working duo who love what they do. The care they give espresso grew their following quickly.
