Old Java Coffee Roasters Galata

Great place to relax with great coffee, off of the main road so it is quiet and relaxing. Came here 3 times over 5 days since it was right around where we were staying. The people working here are so friendly. Will miss this place for sure!

this was my favorite place in Istanbul-also great for laptop work.

Arzu is amazing, great service, the only place I was able to find lactose free milk offered in Istanbul. I enjoyed my first lactose free cortado here. The chocolate chip cookies were yummy too. Speciality coffee, fresh salads, banana bread and tiramisu are served here. Free wifi, indoor / outdoor seating too. #AHQtravels #AHQ #AHQfood #AHQreviews

I ordered Americano, the coffee was really good smooth & not bitter. Then the guy recommended some Matcha Latte which was very smooth & balanced. This placed is highly recommended for people who want to have some good coffee or people who are working as the vibes are good & quiet.

Off the beaten track and amazing coffee - definitely worth a visit if you love coffee. wifi is offered here too.

Great spot for working on your laptop (they have plugs everywhere) and very nice decoration. The staff was very friendly too. I only missed having oatmilk, or any other kind of vegetal milk for my coffee.

Nice atmosphere but overpriced, the coffee selection is big, also offering vegan based milks, but they charge double than the cafes around here, for example 6-7€ for a macha latte and 3-4€ for a normal coffee.
They offered wifi (but place is not very quiet).

Sakin, huzurlu, çalışmak için ideal mekan. Kahvesi çok ama çok güzel... Very good coffee and place. Suitable for working.

coffee is good
vibe is great
wifi is fast
barista is professional
however serving espresso without water and not letting customers use water from the tap is bad and unacceptable

update: there was no miscommunication between me and the barista. i asked for a glass of water, he reached out for a bottle, i pointed to the tap and said "i need just one glass", he said "the tap is for my use".

laptop alıp çalışmak, çalışırken güzel kahve içmek için iyi bir seçenek.

Great specialty coffee. Friendly staff. wifi available.

Java has the best coffee in Istanbul. I just spent a year and a half living and studying there, spending most of my days in cafes across the European and Asian sides. The baristas are infinitely better than any others I was served by, especially when it came to working with non-dairy milks (pictured). The breakfast omelette is delicious, as are the cakes and cookies. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially in the summer when the large side doors are opened. It's conveniently close to Şişhane Metro, Galata Tower, and yet it is never crowded with too many irritating yabanci (like myself)! The staff speak English well enough to serve, but will indulge your attempts to use Turkish if you persist :)

wifi is ok, not enough electric plugs.

Fantastic coffee and breakfast. The baristas are extremely knowledgeable and this cafe has the widest selection of coffee and beans that I’ve seen in six years in Istanbul. wifi is also strong enough to get some work done!
