Five Kadikoy cafés, from Cekirdek to Kronotrop, make up an Istanbul specialty guide.
Cekirdek, opened in 2012 by Tunca Özgürer, is credited with bringing specialty coffee to Kadikoy. Montag has two branches, in Moda and near the harbour, and serves V60 pourovers. Kronotrop, which started in Galatasaray and now has more than 30 branches in Turkey, roasts lighter than most of the local scene. Coffee Manifesto is the pick for medium-roast Americanos and cakes, and Fahriye is a record-filled corner café.
