Leaf Co. Istanbul

Delightful Desserts and Plants

"Leaf.co's almond tart stands out as my favourite! Pair it with delightful coffee or iced tea, and don't forget to grab some beautiful flowers or plants!"

Leaf.co is a charming café and flower shop located in Suadiye, offering both delicious treats and a plants haven in a pleasant and bright atmosphere. Their desserts look not only beautiful in the display but also taste amazing, with the almond tart standing out as a personal favourite. The coffee and homemade iced teas are also delightful.

Many people visit for brunch, though I haven’t tried it yet. Inside, you’ll find a variety of fresh flowers and plants which you can buy, and they can also create stunning bouquets with incredibly lifelike artificial flowers.

The only downside is that the tables are a bit cramped and it gets quite crowded on weekends. But with such delicious offerings, the crowd is understandable.
