I’m not fun for the coffee taste here.

But working environment is good! The upstairs is good for working with some outlets.

It was too hot to work in Summer. The AC was off and opened one side.

I really like it. The coffee is tasty. I’ve tried espresso machine one and filtered one. Both are good! Cheese cake set is just 22 TL.

Olmadık Projeler

This is a kind of co-working place. A Dutch company has a office in this building. They are welcome to use the facility for Nomads. They have a downstairs where we can use too. But wifi is better at the ground floor.

If you are hungry, the staff can go to buy a sandwich for you. It is really nice place. I highly recommend.

I’m checking a website Nomad List which is ranking cities for Nomad workers. It is really interesting to check.

I have Nomad Cafes recommendations in Malta and Chiang Mai too. Please check them!
