📖

Full description

EspressoLab is a busy coffee shop rated 4.4 across more than 1,800 reviews, with a view over the Galata waterfront and Hagia Sophia that makes its outdoor seating a draw. Reviewers mention heaters and friendly cats outside, plenty of room indoors including a second floor, and baristas who are welcoming and attentive.

The coffee is the main reason to come, while sweets get a more lukewarm reaction. Long hours, from early morning until late night, make it flexible for a sunrise coffee or an evening sit-down, and a visit takes about 25 minutes.

Reviews

Excellent service! A special thank you to the baristas Şefa, Yağmur, and Orkun—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The coffee was outstanding, one of the best I’ve had. EspressoLab is in a perfect location right by the sea, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I will…
