Grön Coffee Co. Istanbul – Nordic taste
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 go 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 pet-friendly cafe.
