Geyik Coffee & Cocktails

Day-to-Night Hidden Gems $$

Geyik occupies a corner on Akarsu Yokuşu, near the top of the hill in Cihangir. The same room operates - over the course of a single day - as a serious specialty-coffee bar in the morning, a working-from-the-cafe spot through the afternoon, an aperitivo bar in the early evening, and a cocktail bar at night. Three baristas in the morning become three bartenders by 7pm; the menu rotates with them. The visit changes depending on when you walk in. By hour.

Geyik is best experienced at two different hours on two different days - once in the morning for the coffee, once in the evening for the cocktails. The same room makes a different argument at each hour. The bar takes walk-ins; reservations are not accepted.
