Coffee & Tea

Vefa BozacısıSmileys Pick

A legendary Istanbul institution since 1876 — famous for boza (a fermented wheat drink) but also excellent Turkish coffee. The interior is unchanged for over a century.

Katip Çelebi Cad. No:104/1, Vefa

Try the boza with a sprinkle of cinnamon and roasted chickpeas. It tastes like nothing else in the world.

Grand Bazaar Café

Several traditional tea houses inside the Grand Bazaar where traders and shoppers rest. Order çay and watch the world go by.
