A wonderful boutique coffee shop in a great touristic district called Karakoy. I always visit Karabatak during my Karakoy visit. One of the best place especially for Cold Brew and Americano. Pumpkin Spice Latte is my favourite during cold weathers. This place has a few table inside and outside so you may wait for a while. Also there is restroom inside.

I love everything about this place! The decor, the atmosphere, the cats and they have delicious salep 😍 (orchid tea) the cashier lady doesn’t speak much English but was very cute to attempt communication. Definitely worth the visit and a new favorite in Istanbul 💛

While the coffee tastes decent, it is 100% overpriced. I think they're able to justify the high prices with the atmosphere. It is quite lively with great outdoor seating options. You get to sit in the middle of a bustling street and sip on your favorite drink.

I loved the atmosphere and the design of the place with all it's little funky details. The sitting outside lets you overlook the cute street. It is indeed a bit pricey, but I got a huge toast I wasn't even able to finish.
Also, everyone wrote that the stuff was nice, however I would say they were rather neutral with inclination to being not nice.

Look at the images of the menu in the past two years. People start complaining about 25 lira cappuccino then year later it’s 150 then four months ago 225. Just know the prices you are paying in most of Istanbul are not local prices, there’s no justifying it. It’s a part of service industry movement to price gouge tourists. It’s a shame because it was becoming my favorite city. I only hang at local spots now where cappuccino is 50-75 normal inflation. Avoid the other 60 percent of Istanbul. The rest of Turkey isn’t this bad. Greed never ends well.
