Norm easily offers the best coffee and baked goods in Istanbul. The owners have carefully considered each type of coffee they serve and are constantly researching new methods to improve their craft. The baked goods here are something special. No where else in Istanbul have I encountered such delicious, perfectly executed baked good. Everything is fresh and there's always something new to try. There are lots of options for vegans and even some gluten free options (but GF options are not regular. Check in advance if this is important to you.) My personal favorites are the chocolate chip cookies, lemon polenta cake, and lemon ricotta cake. There are many other delicious options that come and go from the menu. You cannot go wrong with Norm. If you're passing through town, it offers a wonderful respite. If you're local, you'll become a regular.
