Crowded but fast service

There is always a queue, But the service is very fast. They understand Russian. There is not only coffee, But also cocoa. Coffee is sold ground in paper bags. The price can be found a little better if you take it from a chain store, But it is unlikely to be so fresh there.
About coffee:
here you need to understand that this place sells coffee, which is loved in Turkey and which is fried and finely ground enough to brew in cezve (Turk). In comparison with the CIS and southern Europe, a darker roasting is adopted here, which gives the coffee more bitterness and reduces the other flavor palette.

It's an atmospheric place, but the coffee sucks.
I also fell for the atmosphere and got in line and collected 4 packages of 250 grams each.. Well, to give it to everyone. For gifts.
At the airport, everyone probably sniffed, the smell was simply amazing, there was a clear aroma throughout the hall, well, I think the gifts were a success. But no, the Turks did a trick here too.
The coffee is empty and weak. You can cook in a turk or in a horn coffee maker. Very mild taste.
250 grams cost 165 lire, 05.01.2025.
The gifts failed (after all, they gave one package and immediately removed the sample), they did not give it further, so as not to tell tales about the "specials. Istanbul grinding and roasting")))
I don't recommend it to anyone. Pass by. There is no good and delicious coffee there. And don't read fairy tales written to reassure you that this is good coffee. It's a fast-paced coffee.
