The Sebastian cheesecake is actually good, I’ll give them that. It’s tasty and definitely the best thing we had here. But unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk, and honestly, it tasted really bad, poorly made, unpleasant, and not something I could finish. For a place that clearly gets a lot of visitors, the coffee quality was shockingly low. The service was also rude and unwelcoming, which made the experience even worse. On top of that, the place feels very touristy and more about attracting crowds than actually caring about quality or customer experience. If you’re only coming for the cheesecake, you might be okay. But overall, I’d recommend skipping this spot and finding a better café elsewhere. There are plenty of nicer places nearby with better coffee and friendlier service.

The same coffee shop next to the Galata Tower. The undisputed favorite is the Baku cheesecake with chocolate. There are also cookies and cakes of various types in the assortment, they are presented on the showcase in the cafe building. As a rule, there is always a queue to sit at tables on the street, but if not during rush hour, you can get a seat without waiting.

This place no longer needs any advertising or reviews. There are a lot of people, almost all the tables are occupied, which says a lot. Very tasty cheesecake, very greasy. I couldn't finish eating. If you come after a hearty Turkish breakfast, then take one cheesecake for two, or go here without breakfast. The taste, the panorama, the atmosphere, Istanbul-everything came together here. I recommend 100%

The best San Sebastian cheesecakes are not like in Turkey, but in all of Europe, in my opinion!) A very popular tourist cafe right in front of the Galata Tower, there are never any empty seats at the bottom, you need to take a queue and wait to sit on the veranda, but on the second floor you can safely sit down, drink the famous Turkish tea, enjoy cheesecake or traditional local sweets. Definitely one of those places that every tourist should visit in Istanbul!!

It's a very nice coffee shop. The choice of coffee is huge. In addition, there are many different drinks and juices. Turkish tea, of course. There are a lot of sweets. Cakes, baklava, simits, puffs, etc. Cheesecake doused with dark chocolate and steamed with cappuccino is simply incomparable. I recommend it to everyone. It's a very popular place.

The best place that makes wonderful cheesecakes. 1000% recommend visiting this place. Some of the waiters speak Russian, which is very encouraging. Basically, there is always a place on the second floor, I advise you to go up there right away and sit near the window.

We went on the advice of friends, there were a lot of people, but we got a table for two by the window, ordered San Sebastian dessert and tea, the price was adequate, fast service, friendly staff - the waitress helped connect the local Wi-Fi, tea was also accidentally spilled, but it was replaced for free, which we didn't even ask for, excellent a cozy place to sit and relax with a beautiful view!

A mega popular place. There are almost never any empty tables outside during the day. But there is space inside, but there is absolutely nothing to do indoors, there is no interior at all. Noisy, smoky, loud. On the plus side, San Sebastian cheesecake is really good, fast service, and average prices in the city. For 3 coffees and a cheesecake, 1100 lire.

Popular cafes. We were in it every trip. It's like a landmark place where you can drink tea and eat cheesecake. Of course, prices are constantly rising, but unfortunately everywhere. Very tasty cheesecake with chocolate. I recommend it to everyone to visit. It's just as crowded in the evening as it is in the afternoon.

The atmosphere is pleasant and the male waiters are helpful. The food is mediocre. The place is well-publicized. Nothing special. Avoid this place. There is a fraudster working at the checkout (a blonde girl). When paying the check in euros, she deducted a commission of 10 euros from us! The receipt is 1,235 Turkish lira. We paid 50 euros. The change is 635 lire. It's useless to argue. The atmosphere is pleasant and the male waiters are helpful. The food is mediocre. The place is well-publicized. Nothing special.

Avoid it! Today we visited this advertised place and regretted it. There were no places on Isa street with a table, we went up to the second floor. It's stuffy, the tables are very close to each other. I asked for a menu and connected Wi-Fi so that I could place an order. They did not give either one or the other. After all, we ordered coffee, exotic tea and of course San Sebastian. They brought a huge mug for tea, asked me to bring a small Turkish cup. They said no. That's the service. The tea was delicious, but it was not pleasant to drink from a glass.

It's a good location, but I didn't like the cheesecake itself, the whole taste is in chocolate, so it's delicious, it looks like kinder chocolate. The cheesecake seemed tasteless and the price was too high.

It's a good place, right next to the Galata Tower. You can sit in the evening and wait for the laser show. However, there are a lot of people. Everything is pretty clean, tidy, there is a toilet. The price tag is average.

The desserts are great. The price tag is high, of course, a super tourist destination. The service is fast and on-stream. If you suddenly think that you can sit here, no, you can't, there are crowds of hungry tourists around, there is always a big queue in the institution: if you eat, you leave.

Ay-ay-ay!- what kind of dessert is served here! San Sebastian_ Under chocolate_ under the walls of the tower_ under the coolest coffee-in Arabic. Yes, the price tag, yes, the crowd, yes, it's a hot place, but it's delicious! And it's beautiful. And the atmosphere! And the sun is already setting and a billion lights are coming on! And a dozen eyes are watching your dessert melt, hoping to jump at the table and leave an autograph on the wall with lipstick (for some reason)! And every (almost) tourist from all over the world competes with the tower in the slimness in the photo! And all this is being watched by a policeman in an armored car with the appearance of a crazy guy from Yelabuga (not even Alyosha, but Ivan and that's it!) Oriental bazaar on glamorous maximums! Masthave!

The place, of course, is very specific and atmospheric due to its location. But, the price level.... It's just the Middle Kingdom, and judging by the photos of the menu over the past years, they are growing very much. How do you like espresso for 500 rubles;((

Quite a popular place in the area) but it couldn't be any other way)) You can choose from the traditional flavors of Turkish and not only such coffee. The price is above the average in Istanbul. We didn't make any outstanding impressions to give 5 points. It's a very noisy place) if you sit on the terrace, you can smoke))) even if you don't smoke))) Personally, I don't see the point of having a tea/coffee ceremony in this place)

The most powerful and pleasant taste of coffee that I have ever tasted, probably. I drank Turkish coffee and Cold Brew. They seemed to be the strongest, but the taste was still pleasant, light, soft, and it was pleasant to drink even without sugar. The coffee house was built in 1867.

I don't recommend coming here at all! It is unreasonably expensive and the desserts are tasteless. It's too crowded, the tables are close to each other. We took two teas, a lemon dessert in a glass, which is only lemon on top, but there is already a pacifier inside, and a creamy baklava, which tastes and looks interesting, but half of it is already boring. The price is 15,000tenge(3,000rubles)

The worst coffee I've ever had. San Sebastian with chocolate also disappointed. Too cloying. Three-star service. But they brought everything quickly. The prices are too high, because the place is tourist. It's better to go somewhere else to a cafe

Apparently this is a place of worship, but we found out about it by accident. We saw that almost all the tables were occupied, so it must be delicious. In general, in January 24, there were a lot of people in it, but they found a free table for two. They took what almost everyone at the neighboring tables eats: San Sebastian doused with chocolate. Don't even think about taking it without chocolate. The chocolate is Belgian and sooooooo delicious. Lick your fingers. It is very satisfying, so you will not eat more than 1. Whatever coffee you take will be strong. It is in this place. I definitely recommend going 1 time. One minus is sooo expensive. 290 lire one piece of San Sebastian(price in January 24)

A pleasant place with very tasty coffee and a wide variety of desserts. The view of the Galata Tower is beautiful. However, it is very expensive there and it is not always possible to find a place by the window with a view of the tower. But for the sake of delicious desserts and coffee, it's worth going at least once.

If you want a delicious San Sebastian cheesecake, then come here. It is better to take the chocolate with which everyone pours this dessert separately, if necessary, pour it. For me, it's better without additional toppings, the delicate creamy taste is lost.
