Filter coffee and espresso: visit these coffee shops in Istanbul!
While I love to try local food and drink when I travel, I always have a little I have trouble with Turkish coffee. It's so strong! So, no blog about coffee shops where you can drink the best Turkish coffee (sorry!). During my trip to Istanbul, I sought out the more Western-style hotspots where you can order delicious cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites. Luckily, there are plenty of great coffee shops in Istanbul; here are my favorites!
