Kahve Dünyası Nuruosmaniye (Istanbul, TURKEY) ★★★☆☆

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is our final stop of this tour before we head to the airport. It's one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, covering more than 40 streets with over 4,000 shops.



This looks like a maze and would have been a perfect place for a war game.



After spending a couple of hours at the bazaar, we came out from one of the exits looking for a place to get our caffeine fix. We ended up finding Kahve Dünyası, a local coffee shop about two blocks to the east of the bazaar. 



Kahve Dünyası (Literally translates into "Coffee World") has hundreds of branches all over Turkey. Other than supplying Turkish coffee, they are also a chocolate maker with its own brand of chocolate and a variety of pastries (mostly chocolate cakes) to go with their coffee.

Kahve Dünyası Caramel Frappe - One of their namesake beverages. It's a little foamy with very subtle caramel flavors.

Truffle Chocolate Cake - A rich chocolate cake with layers of chocolate truffle in the middle, topped by a thick chocolate ganache. A perfect dessert for chocolate lovers.



Kahve Dünyası Nuruosmaniye opens from 7am to 8:30pm daily (why closes so early?)
