Since I am a freelancer living in Istanbul, I've tried many cafes that I can work at. I love to eat food and drink a good coffee in the meantime. So decided to create a blog post about it. Hope you find it helpful!
Fern Cafe
The most comfortable cafe to work at. Great coffee and food selection on breakfast and lunch. Lots of vegan options. We've tried more than half of the menu and everything we ate was good. They make the best oat latte in Istanbul. Vegan toast and chocolate chip cookie are my favorite.
Location // Address: Fenerbahçe, Lalezar Sk. No:14, 34726 Kadıköy/İstanbul
Voi Feriye // Now changed to Cookies and Cream but same place with similar menu
Amazing Bosporus view with wide space, great food and great coffee. Their avocado toast is my favorite. I usually drink soy latte here.
Location // Address: Yıldız, Avrupa Yakası, 34349 Beşiktaş/İstanbul
Klar Coffee Co.
Great coffee and food selection, and they roast the coffee in the shop so it smells extra amazing. Also you might saw this place in my page, I've created their branding and packaging design.

Mankind Coffee & Eatings
Great interior design with lots of artwork, good amount of food and beverage choices. Our favorite is their white chocolate brownie.

Cooklife
Wide space with lots of natural light and amazing interior design. Nice food but I don't like their coffee. They also sell ceramics. Lots of great magazine you can read while spending time too.

Grandma Suadiye
Amazing variety on the dessert and food, they don't have oat milk but soy latte is good. We usually use the big table to work, chairs are comfortable.
