Glow Coffee Istanbul
Cool spot, good latte
Glow Coffee is different from other cafes in Kuzguncuk with its cool and trendy style. The relaxed vibe makes you want to hang out there as long as possible instead of grabbing just a drink to go. Even though it is not on the main street of Kuzguncuk, it can still get crowded.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to brownies. The brownie with white chocolate in Glow has a moist and gooey texture loaded with rich chocolate flavor. The amount of white chocolate added to the brownie is not dominant, so it does not alter the taste but adds extra flavor. And the result is a yummy brownie.
One other good thing about Glow is that you can find an oat milk option (along with the other plant-based options) for your latte which has not become popular among the cafes in Istanbul yet. I am not a fan of their Americano though, it is a bit too strong for me. They have also a few other options, such as snacks/desserts.
