Grön Coffee Co. Istanbul

Nordic taste

Yucel from Istanbul

About me I'm an engineer. I've been living in Istanbul since I was born. I love to travel around like a local as often as possible. Grabbing a beer while listening to good live music is priceless for me. I also love photography. Taking unique pictures, trying local tastes and meeting new people to share experiences are my aim. I'm trying to learn as much as possible from people around ...
"Grön Coffee Co. is my new favorite place on Bagdad street in Istanbul: fresh coffee, plants inside, cool music, and the best cheesecake in town..."

My new favourite place on Bagdad Street is Grön. Fresh coffee, healthy food and good music is the motto of Grön Coffee Co. They opened early in 2019 but are now very popular in the neighbourhood. Grön has a front garden which welcomes you indoors, but you can hear the good music even from the outside. It has a simple but stylish and cosy design, so you will feel like you are in a completely different city after you step inside.

They serve good quality coffee –  you can easily notice the smell of fresh coffee before you step into the place. Spending time among the plants they have placed indoors is a pleasure and completely different.

My favourite is a coffee with San Sebastian Cheesecake, one of the best in town. Apart from that, you can find healthy smoothie bowls, breakfast options etc.

Also note that Grön is a pet-friendly cafe.
