Upon stepping inside projecafe, you'll find yourself in a meticulously crafted space that invites you to linger a little longer. The playful yet sophisticated decor is a visual delight, boasting thoughtful design touches that not only enhance the atmosphere but also stimulate conversation.

As you settle into this artistic enclave, take a moment to savor the exceptional coffee. Customers rave about the quality here—Eddy describes it as “awesome and of good quality,” and it’s easy to understand why.

Whether you choose to enjoy your coffee indoors amidst the chic decor or opt for the serene outdoor seating area, the ambiance is inviting and relaxed, making it an ideal backdrop for both casual meetings and moments of solitude.

While the café shines with its beverage offerings, some patrons like Geraldine Tietzen have suggested an expansion of vegan options on the menu, which reflects the growing interest in diverse dietary offerings. This feedback showcases projecafe's willingness to evolve and cater to the needs of its guests, making it a true community-centric spot in the heart of Istanbul.

Super Cozy yet Design Oriented café! The coffee is awesome and of good quality! The space is meticulously thought of with a unique and very witty Design touch :) The Actual Design office is at the mezzanine space of the shop! One of the best coffee shop experiences :) Totally recommended :)

A hidden gem not too far from the main road. They serve food and bakes (hipster cafe prices but still reasonable). I liked the interior. Recommended if you are in the area!

Really stylish and beautiful outside sitting area in a not so busy street. Coffee excellent, the only I would suggest, is to have more vegan options in the menu

Little hidden jewel in Istanbul's streets. Nice, effortless cousy design surrounds you while having a sip of tea or coffee. Drinks are fine. The service is great and kind. Price is ok. Would definitely come here again. P.s. great music.

Kind hearted and well spoken staff, relaxing atmosphere, delicious coffee and aesthetically pleasing design. The cinnamon Tahiti balls are the perfect complement to an espresso or Americano!

YES! It was the sign that grabbed my attention. Good Design, Good Coffee. Yes, yes! We had a mind blowingly good breakfast here. Such a great selection of dishes ... olives, watermelon, various bread rolls, cheese, dips, egg, tomato, cucumber and marmalade jams. But I couldn't stop eating the soft white cheese with honey - wow!! The waiter was very friendly and courteous. Great service and fast with the order. Great flatwhite coffee.

Amazing food. Great taste and presentation. I had the open sandwich, my kids went for the cheese omelette and the croissant. We were 7 people having breakfast. Turkish coffee was incredible too!
