Best Coffee Shops in Istanbul

Istanbul is a city where coffee shops cluster along its busiest streets, and several of the places below sit on or close to İstiklal Caddesi, the long pedestrian thoroughfare in the Beyoğlu district. Others are tucked into quieter side streets, and one of the entries is open around the clock. The list covers a mix of chain outlets, cake shops, a cafe with a bookstore and traditional-style cafés, so you can choose between a quick stop and a longer sit.

Accessibility varies from place to place. Some entries are marked as step-free, others as limited, and a few have no wheelchair information recorded, so check ahead if access matters to you.

Practical notes

Most addresses here are on or near İstiklal Caddesi, so the entries at 170A, 231/A and 158A can be visited on one walk. Check opening hours before you go, as only some of the entries list them. Wheelchair access is confirmed as available at Starbucks and Hafiz Mustafa 1864, and limited at Lebon and Ada Cafe + Bookstore.
