Directions

A storied Kadıköy institution founded in 1923, Baylan is the kind of old-world European-style café that Istanbul does better than almost anywhere. Come for the legendary kup griye (a layered ice cream and caramel sundae) and a proper Turkish tea or filter coffee in a room that feels frozen in a very good decade. Service is old-fashioned and unhurried — don't come if you're in a rush.
