The Books & Coffee Shop in Istanbul is a wonderful place where the love of coffee and literature combine. We found this coffee shop quite by chance, walking near the Galata Tower. The atmosphere here is very cozy and relaxing, ideal for reading a book or chatting with friends. The interior is decorated in vintage style, with lots of books on the shelves. I want to photograph every corner. The coffee shop is completely European and differs from the local cafes around. I think it is loved by both tourists and locals who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a good coffee in the company of books. Definitely worth a visit!

The interior of a coffee shop couldn't be better!!! The second floor is a separate room. They also don't smoke there, and as a completely non-smoker, I'm tired of the constant pain in my eyes from tobacco smoke anywhere in Istanbul. It's a buzz. The coffee is also excellent. But for me, the most delicious thing is the atmosphere <3

My favorite coffee shop with excellent service. A quiet place next to the tunnel. You can sit and drink coffee, chat or read a book. There is a selection of desserts and a huge selection of coffee. I recommend you to visit

A very atmospheric coffee shop, the interior makes you fall in love with yourself from the first minute. While I was drinking coffee, I saw that a wedding photo shoot was taking place on the terrace, which means that this place is also considered very attractive by the locals.

It's a great quiet place, the baristas speak a little English. The Turkish coffee is good, but the dessert felt like it was frozen, but I liked it anyway.

A good place to drink tea or coffee, there is free Wi-fi, next to the Galatamost and the funicular F2, which will take you to Istiklal.

We went to this cafe-mafe.. Banana shake hat,Turkish coffee regular. The books include old encyclopedias and construction magazines. I left them our paperback magazine. Let them read about our best president and unbending economy. Ugly women sit at tables and pretend to be working on laptops . An abomination. Tables are idle, the administration is being reprimanded for this

A pleasant place. The prices are average, but worth it. Delicious and cozy. It is located in a corner, on a hot day you can hide from the sun, but sit on the veranda.
