Istanbul's specialty coffee scene is as layered as the city itself, split across two continents and centuries of café tradition. On the European side, the historic Karaköy and Galata quarters anchor the movement, where Karabatak helped spark the third-wave culture and roasters like Norm Coffee and Probador Colectiva keep it thriving.
