Galata Food Guide – Cafés, Desserts & Tea

Keep it light: tea + dessert before the tower, then a sit-down after blue hour.

Café Clusters

• Base square ring.
• Quiet side streets.
• Espresso pockets vs. traditional tea houses.

Desserts Map

• Karaköy lanes.
• Local classics + modern twists.
• Share plates to sample more without overfilling.

Tip: Pair a sweet with a bitter tea; flavors balance and keep energy steady.
