    Not only did this bookstore have an incredible, curated selection to begin with, they have a few tables featuring special recommendations for Turkish fiction. Even so, I asked the person at the counter for their personal recommendations and walked away with even more gems to read. A truly dreamy experience for the Turkish literature lover.

    Very friendly (and queer friendly) book shop. Besides the usual literature in Turkish and some English, they have plenty of feminist books, local LGBTQIA+ magazines, a special children's literature section. The owner is extremely friendly and was happy to answer a couple questions about the local community, scene and politics.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Frankeştayn Bookstore and Cafe recently and it was an absolute delight..The selection of books was fantastic, focusing on specific subjects in a way that allowed for easy exploration. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if youare looking for a great book store experience...

    Cosy book store where you can find some books in English. The choice is not big but there are quite a few books of Turkish authors, which make a nice souvenir to take home from a holiday. The owner and stuff are very polite and helpful. Apart from books, there is a coffee shop at the back. Alsy, the tote bags with their logo are very good quality for the price. Definitely recommend visiting, considering it's quite close to one of the main attractions - the Galata Tower.
