"One of Istanbul’s best-known roasters, Petra Roasting Co. has several locations with distinct vibes: the Petra Café in Topağacı is noted for time-worn tiled floors and plush leather booths, the Bebek spot offers a coveted outdoor garden with low-lying chairs under foliage, and my favourite, Petra Café Şişhane, embraces refined minimalism—steel surfaces, glimmering silver cups and countertops, seating on rows of sleek white steps—and sits a two-minute walk from Şişhane Park with tiered seating and panoramic city views." - Amelia Dhuga
