Montag Coffee Kadıköy — Restaurant in Kadıköy

I wanted to spend some time working from a coffee shop, and I did so one afternoon on a weekday. Before visiting Istanbul, I heard Montag would be one of the coffee shops that would be great to work from. There are two branches of this coffee shop in Kadikoy, and I decided to go to this one.

This branch is located in a very busy part of Kadikoy (as in crowded and noisy). It also has an outdoor seating with a good view to "people watch" the crowd below. However, it is noisy and honestly I don't like noisy/loud places to work from. I didn't stay that long here, probably up to 1.5-2 hours that afternoon before heading to another workspace.

The space is quite tight for outdoors seating and usually occupied by people who want to people watch. Indoors has a bit more space to walk around and move.

I had the chai latte with oat milk. It was nice. Menu is QR code. I might be wrong, but it's accessible via stairs and I didn't see or notice...

Lychee Colombia from their microlot selection and La Loma Laurina from Rarities - What an amazing roaster and the highest quality of coffee beans! The moment you start to grind them your house is filled with love and aroma and the whole day is spent feeling happy. You cannot erase the smell and taste of the coffee beans from your memory. The taste lingers and lingers and is beautifully sweet with all the tasting notes clearly identifiable. My wife went a few weeks ago to Istanbul. I'm a bit caught up with work but I will somehow manage to find 4 days off just to travel to Turkey, go to Istanbul, go to Montag Kadikoy and get myself La Loma Laurina and Lychee. Please never fail to amaze the world! Beautiful Coffee Farmer, Beautiful Coffee Roaster, Beautiful Coffee Packaging. Single...

Located on the 2nd floor so you'll need to go up the staircase on the side to enter. We ordered the iced mocha and the iced latte. You can immediately tell the quality of their coffee beans is superb. I'd recommend the iced mocha if you like the subtle sweet dark chocolate flavor that isn't overly sweet. Also I wanted to bring back some whole beans as souvenirs. The female barista was extraordinarily helpful, passionately explaining the different profiles of each as well as letting us smell all of their selections. The co-fermented bean selection, although pricier than the others, seemed well worth the price. Can't wait to make some drinks when I'm back home! Also if you buy beans there, they do give you a free drink...
