Sobremesa Coffee Istanbul

Mi casa es tu casa

""Sobremesa Coffee" in Istanbul's Besiktas: great for meeting friends w/ coffee or working on the laptop. Its name is a Spanish word which is a perfect fit!"

This cute coffee shop is located in the neighbourhood of Besiktas. 

It is great to socialize with your friends while you drink coffee here. It is  convenient to work with your laptop, do your homework or have your meetings there.

I've been to this place a couple of times and every time I sat longer than I was planning because once you get in, you just get so relaxed and feel comfortable sitting and chatting for hours with your friends.

I found out later that sobremesa is a Spanish word and means basically "after a  meal, hanging out with family or friends, chatting, digesting, relaxing and enjoying each other's company, certainly with no rush". I thought this meaning is a good fit after I spent some time in this shop.

If you are a type of coffee and dessert person like me, this place offers them both, and the desserts are quite nice actually. If you get too hungry, you can have different types of sandwiches and some kind of snacks.

I highly recommend this place. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like you are at home.

Perili Köşk

The haunted mansion

Perili Köşk Istanbul houses the Borusan Contemporary Art Museum. Some call it the haunted mansion because it was incomplete for years. I love the views!
