Karabatak

#8 of 13 Cafés & Coffee in Istanbul

$$
Known forspecialty coffeeKaraköythird-waveneighborhood café

A compact, design-forward café that helped define Karaköy's transformation into a coffee-serious neighborhood, Karabatak remains one of the best spots in the area for specialty espresso and filter. The menu is focused and the baristas are knowledgeable without being precious. It gets very busy on weekend mornings and the no-laptop policy during peak hours keeps the vibe social rather than co-working.
