Parsa Coffee Roasters

The experience

A specialty roaster on Hoca Tahsin Sokak in Karaköy, part of the dense cluster of third-wave cafes near the waterfront. Beans are roasted on site in small batches with a serious pour-over program.

One of the better cups in Karaköy, the neighborhood that kicked off Istanbul's specialty-coffee wave.
