Yucel from Istanbul
Story Coffee Istanbul
Peaceful gem
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!
