Brekkie Croissant Istanbul
Handmade by the racoon
If you ask about breakfast, it’s one of the most important things for me, especially at weekends. Good breakfast always brings you a good day. This is my feeling. Brekkie is a place that makes your breakfast great. They have a small and cozy place in Moda neighborhood in Istanbul. They make a high-quality croissant with good ingredients. The butter that they use comes from the Western coasts of Turkey.
The croissant dough waits for 3 days before being baked in the French style. At the end, you see delicious things on the table. There are a lot of options on the menu. My favorite two are the croissants with avocado and with smoked rib. Also, there are homemade jams and sauces served on the side. The one thing you must keep in mind is that on the weekends you should be ready for the queues because it’s very popular.
The name “Brekkie” means breakfast in Australia, and their mascot is the raccoon, which is known for its theft abilities. So keep an eye on your croissants. :)
