Kaffee Schütz on Fahrettin Kerim Gökay Caddesi sits in the Acıbadem-Üsküdar belt, one of the Vienna-rooted chain's many Istanbul branches. The brand calls itself Vienna-based but runs more shops in Turkey than in Austria, and the espresso bar reflects that, dark roast, milk-forward drinks, and a cake counter that takes its cues from Konditorei traditions. The menu pairs hot specialty coffees with German-style snacks, and the room reads cafe rather than coffee bar. Office workers from Acıbadem fill the room at lunch. Order a Wiener Melange if you want the chain's namesake cup. Order an apfelstrudel with a flat white if you came for the cross between Istanbul and Vienna that Kaffee Schütz keeps building.
About İstanbul
İstanbul straddles two coffee cultures. The traditional Turkish coffee tradition is one of the oldest in continuous practice (UNESCO-listed as an intangible cultural heritage), centered on finely ground beans boiled in a cezve, served unfiltered in small cups, often with a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight. The third-wave specialty scene grew in the 2010s, concentrated in Karaköy, Cihangir, and parts of Beyoğlu on the European side, and Kadıköy on the Asian side. The two cultures share the city without much overlap.
The city has more than 15 million people and a coffee culture that operates across class, geography, and generation. Turkish coffee houses (kıraathane) have been social and political gathering places for centuries. The third-wave shops serve a younger, more affluent demographic with global tastes. In between are countless commercial cafes (some chains, some independents) serving the daily coffee for Turkish lira at a third or fourth of the specialty price.
For visitors, Turkish coffee is the cultural anchor and the third-wave shops are the recognizable third place. Both are worth time.
