Our Story

Nestled at the heart of Kadıköy, Turkey Coffee opened its doors with a simple vision: to create a space where great coffee and genuine connections thrive. Our journey began with a love for authentic Turkish and specialty coffee culture, wishing to bring together local traditions and global inspiration. We started small—just a few tables, a secondhand espresso machine, and a dream to be more than a café: we wanted to be a community hub.

Our dedication to quality grew from countless early mornings, carefully selecting beans from responsible growers who share our passion for sustainability and ethical sourcing. From those efforts, our signature blends emerged—each roast designed to evoke the warmth of home and the soul of Istanbul's colorful streets. Over the years, our talented baristas and bakers have transformed classic recipes and innovative flavors into experiences that spark joy, comfort, and conversation.

At Turkey Coffee, our cozy interiors are filled each day with the laughter of families, the brainstorming of creatives, and the quiet musings of solo guests who find solace in a corner, book in hand. We believe every cup should be memorable, so we've made it our mission to perfect every step—from grinding to brewing, from the first morning pour to the last evening sip.

Community lies at the center of our ethos. We've supported local artists with an ever-changing gallery wall, hosted neighborhood poetry nights, and partnered with eco-friendly businesses to keep our environmental impact gentle.

Our team is the soul of our shop, greeting each visitor with kindness and sharing their expertise in everything from bean origin stories to the secrets of frothy milk. We continually invest in their growth, believing every great guest experience starts with a happy, passionate crew.

Sustainability runs through our daily routine. We've phased out single-use plastics, transitioned to compostable packaging, and source ingredients locally whenever possible. We're not only proud of our beans, but also of our simit, baklava, and seasonal treats that honor Turkish culinary heritage.

Our light-filled space is designed to welcome—whether you're seeking inspiration, a productive morning, or simply five minutes of peace with your favorite brew.

Thanks to our community's enthusiasm, Turkey Coffee has evolved far beyond a coffee stop: we're Kadıköy's living room, a meeting place for old friends and new, a refuge from the city's bustle. Every guest is a part of our story.

We look forward to brewing your next happy moment—cup by cup, day by day.
