Tucked into the historic Balat neighborhood on Kurukcu Cesmesi Sokak, Coffee Department functions more like a studio than a conventional cafe. Roasting, grinding, and brewing all happen on-site with a rotating selection of single-origin beans sourced from multiple producing regions. The small, focused space rewards visitors who make the detour into one of Istanbul's most atmospheric old quarters.
