Mandabatmaz

Mandabatmaz may only be about ten square meters, but it is crowded. The old man has been using an old coffee pot to make coffee on a gas stove, and he does it in one go. I asked him what the secret of good coffee is, and he said it is because they have not expanded their scale for decades, insisting on doing all the steps from roasting beans to grinding powder to production by themselves. This plain and persistent daily life eventually polishes out the taste that remains in everyone's memory. ​

The coffee is good, and the most classic New York cheesecake is definitely a must for dessert! The thick and dense taste, paired with a portion of frozen cream, is the highest respect for cheesecake! You will definitely fall in love with it.

Mandabatmaz is a small coffee shop in a small alley beside Independence Street. It is a very small coffee shop, but it is quite famous. The Turkish coffee is the best I have tasted on this trip. Sitting in the corner of the alley, I feel like I am also an old Turkish person. The owner is a bit shy. It is a simple little restaurant. Those coffee shops on Independence Street that claim to have been in business for many years are just ordinary and serve tourists. ​

This is a small coffee shop in the alley of Istiklal Street in Istanbul. The shop is very small with a few old tables and chairs. It is said that the name of the shop means that the coffee is so strong that even a bull can sink. The coffee is all handmade, 5 lira per cup, and the taste is very strong.

What a bargain! The coupon was perfect, the food portion was very generous, I will definitely buy it again next time!
