Story Coffee Istanbul

Peaceful gem

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.

"Story Coffee in Istanbul is my new discovery in Moda neighbourhood. It's the perfectly designed spot for everyone who likes good coffee and baked goods."

Story Coffee is my new discovery in the Moda neighbourhood. It's the spot for everyone who has fallen in love with good coffee, baked goods and Istanbul.

Story Coffee is located in an old building. When you enter and look inside, it is its design that draws your attention immediately. The street on which it's located is crowded and stylish, but Story Coffee's interior design proves that it's the star of the area. It is very stylish and peaceful and makes you feel like you are in another city. The brick walls, the dominance of brown and other decorative items together are quite enjoyable. It's hard to decide on which side to stop and photograph.

Great music accompanies you while you're enjoying your coffee. Mostly, I prefer ordering a fresh filter coffee with a homemade brownie. Especially on Sunday, it's my choice to sit at a table where I can see the street, and I could say a lot about that. Their coffee is tasty and with many varieties, and the space was more than peaceful. I did not try their food, but I will definitely try the pancakes and burritos that look great on my next trip there!
