Coffee Roof lives up to its name: situated on the top floor of a building on Profesör Doktor Muammer Aksoy Caddesi, it provides a serene vantage point over Ankara's sprawling cityscape. The cafe is a haven for coffee lovers, with a focus on Turkish and international brewing methods. The interior is minimalist yet cozy, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the view, and a small terrace where you can sit outside on mild days. The menu features espresso-based drinks, pour-overs, and traditional Turkish coffee prepared with care. They also serve light bites like simit (Turkish sesame rings), pastries, and sandwiches. The atmosphere is calm and studious, attracting students, freelancers, and locals looking for a quiet break. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to recommend a brew based on your taste preferences. Coffee Roof also sells beans from local roasters, making it a great spot to pick up a souvenir.
