A bit of history
Coffeetopia was founded by a group of coffee enthusiasts who wanted to bring third-wave coffee culture to Istanbul. The Eminönü branch opened in 2019, adding to their other locations in the city. Eminönü itself has been a commercial hub since Byzantine times, famous for its spice market and ferry terminals.
