Located just walking distance from hagia sophia in an alley going downwards towards the tram line and gulhane park entrance. It’s a small cute cafe was perfect was a quick stop. Not to mentions its built next to a historical location which looks like a Roman defensive wall.
Location 5/5

Service was a little slow with Shisha as there was only 2 person running the cafe at that time. Drinks were served fast but Shisha took about 20 mins.

Shisha was  800 liras but it’s a reasonable price considering it’s a prime location. The flavor  was smooth and pleasant. I would recommend the Lady killer flavor if you’re not sure which one to order which is from a Turkish brand Adalaya.

I gave 5 stars for the way this place looks. It's very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Even the music was good. And also there are some cats walking around who made my day. Instead, I can't say the same thing about the serving. The personal is nice, I m talking about the products here. By the looks of the place, I was expecting something special, traditional, home made. Me and my 2 other friends ordered 3 different drinks and we were not impressed.
