Nørre Coffee Shop Istanbul
Nordic Style in Istanbul
Nørre Coffee Shop is located on a cozy street in Cukurcuma. This Scandivanian-style, two-floor café instantly captured my attention with its simple yet tastefully decorated interior. I especially love the small open kitchen, which adds a touch of warmth and authenticity to the ambiance.
Three friends run Nørre, each brings their unique expertise to the table. One of them is the talented chef crafting delicious dishes. Another one is expertly preparing the coffee, ensuring each cup is a delightful experience. The third one is treating customers courteously, ensuring their needs are met. They are super friendly and eager to chat. So you should feel comfortable visiting Nørre even alone.
The floor-to-ceiling window fills the café with natural light, creating an airy and fresh feel. It also provides a captivating view of the street, increasing the overall charm of the place. The menu has unique and distinctive options that make Nørre even more loveable. Avocado & mushroom & egg combinations, French omelet, granola, and daily-made patisserie are just some of them.
For me, what truly unites the atmosphere of the street with the café is the vibe of the owners. Their friendly and welcoming nature makes you wanna come back. Their dedication to using only trusted ingredients gives confidence in the quality of the food and beverages they serve.
If you're planning to spend time in the artistic streets of Cukurcuma, wandering around the antique shops, make sure to come here as well.

Turkish Tea
Enjoy a glass of tea
Turkish Tea is had after each meal, and it's a reflection of hospitality. When in Istanbul, have it at small local tea houses in Sultanahmet.
