EllieApril 25, 2015Mellow hipster cafe in the nicest possible sense, one of the front runners of what is now a bustling neighborhood cafe scene. Good service, excellent Julius Meinl coffee.
Άννα ΚοκορίγκουMay 20, 2015my favourite coffee place in Istanbul! good coffee, good music, great atmosphere and decor, and though it's in a lively area, it's not as crowded and chaotic as the rest of the city! we loved it!Upvoted Dec 18, 2024
LolaLuluOctober 31, 2013Karabatak Karaköy🍰Julius Meinl is a cool and funky café that features retro-style décor and an atmosphere that makes you want to spend many hours here chatting away with friends over a cup of coffee
Imagine for a minute, you get out of life and start watching it like a movie. This is the feeling you might have as you sip your Cafe Melange. Replenishing and peaceful place.
Cosmin TrufasilaFebruary 19, 2017Nice location, good coffee, still the staff takes your drinks off the table in a hurry without asking and letting you enjoy them till the last drop! (Sometimes half way through)
MuratJune 11, 2016Nice location with great food and drinks in a recently reconstructed neighbourhood. Staff is nice, prices are great, outdoor seating is available. Always crowded and busy.
Anya PratskevichMay 2, 2015Wiener melange 😍. Very cool place for early night chill if you don't mind smokers around and occasional street vendors passing by.
Hani AlawadhiFebruary 27, 2015Amazing coffee shop, try the Wiener Melange (a cappuccino with more coffee)
Yulia KApril 21, 2019Coziness overload! Very stylish and chill coffee place, perfect for sitting outside and even alone
Hop Hey LalaleySeptember 21, 2019Beautiful cozy place, great coffee and deserts to die for. If you come with a company - take few different to try them all.
Duygs DuygsJuly 26, 2018Always love Karabatak if not its staff always. Affogato, ice coffee and other coffees are great.
Erman OzcelikOctober 27, 2014It has evolved the perception of aesthetics and shifted expectations sneakingly. But it's much like a "l'art pour l'art" dont touch museum. In my humble opinion, society needs a living museum as well.
Eugene C.June 10, 2016Myriad of coffee options with great outdoor seating shaded by ivy. Located on a very cute street with lots of cafes.

Delicious IstanbulJanuary 22, 2012Combination of old European grandeur and Ottoman appeal: could have been the early days of republic yet it is the up and coming coffee shop at Karaköy by Viennese coffee brand Julius Meinl
Fatma GencOctober 25, 2017Karaköy is a mysterious little neighbourhood at the water, make sure to have a coffee stop somewhere here. Karabatak has all sorts of coffee!
Greta DalyaprakJune 18, 2014Very nice cafe to have a coffee or tea. It is in a perfect street!! It feels that you are in Paris!
Joie M.GAugust 27, 2013coffee is great and so is the menu, but terribly overpriced, servis isnt great, but atmosphere is perfect to get away from busy istanbul streets and find the feel of a real coffee shop- Andac ArmutluluMay 5, 2017Lovely environment, friendly staff, wide variety of tasty coffee and dessert choices (though beware the ice cream).
Önder BingölSeptember 19, 2014Best looking coffee shop in Istanbul, but that doesn't mean the coffee is good.
Saeid AlfailakawiApril 7, 2017Wonderful staff service the meaning of coffee shope, decorations is cozy
Анна БаранJune 19, 2021Coffee tastes great. Prices r way to high. Self-service. Hard to find a free spot.
All special Vieanese coffees are commendable. Try Franziskaner if you like cream... con alcohol... get the Biedermeier.- Marina KAugust 27, 2014Coffee is very good. Pity they don't have iced coffee without syrups and cream. At 5 TL, water is very expensive and the food is so-so for the price. Great place to caffeinate and meet with friends.
SerkanOctober 31, 2014It's a paradise of coffee. Ask for the detailed menu for funny coffee cocktails ingredients :)
Ahn BustamanteDecember 18, 2014Great ambiance. Crowded during weekends. Love the menu and the coffee. Very creative!
Best coffee in Istanbul and such a cool atmosphere... Tiramisu was awesome also :)))
GretaFebruary 17, 2014Amazing interior, good coffee and tea, great service. One of my favourite cafes :)
Hamza OdehMay 7, 2017Small nice atmosphere nice presentation of drinks lovely stuff but unfortunately the coffee wasn't that tasty and a little bit cold
Merve MelodiAugust 25, 2015tonight is the last visit for here.We have been told by the manager they are stopping the service at 10:30.we arrived at 10:25 and begged for coffee to be given with paper cups 😳+noanswertocalls.
Great coffee shop with unique design, good coffee selection.
Christian WesterlundApril 6, 2015Try the warm panini, it is delicious! The aeropress coffee is good.
Sgn gnJuly 30, 2013If u like dark and Bohem places, u must try here. There is a hipster style in this coffee shop. However, staff is not smiling or do not show hospitality usually
Sel JenSeptember 5, 2015Coffee is average, ambiance is one of the best amongst all coffee shops in istanbul
Hamid HabibollahMay 20, 2018Expensive. 45 turkish lira for breakfast plate which is not much to offer. But the location and decoration is superb.
retail shop of Karabatak, u may buy coffee, cups, tins etc..
Abdulrahman FDecember 9, 2013Very cosy. Enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. The interior is fabulous!
