VAA Coffee İstanbloom

My favourite meal in Istanbul :) Was looking for a breakfast for my last day and found this place. The manager and staff are lovely and welcoming, location has an authentic local charm you don’t get in very touristy areas, the food was flavourful and made with love. While solo dining I struggle to finish any meals and tend to feel unwell after however, I found myself ordering another crepe just so I could enjoy more of the delicious spreads! Coffee was also very good.

We had a boat tour but wanted to get to the dock early and then find a nearby lunch spot. I thought this looked both local but not too local for a tourist, if that makes sense. The owner was lovely and knows enough English to make service easy and the QR menu has pictures, which I found helpful as it is in Turkish. I was very impressed with both the egg and sausage and the crepe/mezze plates that we got - truly delicious. On the mezze, the cheese came with honey, which I loved, and the olives were the best I’ve had in Turkey so far this trip. The cafe latte and tea were also great and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. Thank you!

Wir haben gegen 12 Uhr hier gefrühstückt, das Café wird von einem Jungen Mann mit seiner Mutter betrieben. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet, Börek selbst gemach, das ist wie bei Muttern zu Hause. Alles sehr sauber , Preise für europäische Verhältnisse fair. 3 menemen Pfannen , 2 Frühstücksgedeck groß, 9 groß und 3 kleine Tee 40€. Wir sind mit 4 Mann satt geworden und ist noch was übrig geblieben
