This is an ideal coffee shop for working with laptop. Vibey atmosphere, cozy and great coffee/tea options + selection of eats. Strong wifi with comfortable seating. This coffee shop is also located in the busy area of Galata Tower. I would recommend this cafe to all fellow digital nomads! 😊

This is my first time in Fedral Galata . This cozy coffee shop has left the good impressions about the atmosphere and the service… Hospitable hosts, good dishes, beautiful presentation and wonderful location … Recommended

Amazing turkish breakfast, really friendly staff and great coffee!

(Translated by Google) كان beautiful as if in Naples (Original) جميل كانك في نابولي جدا رائع ?

Good food and ambiance if you're looking for a western option. Nice deep house music and vibe, good location, plenty of coffee options. A bit on the pricey side: 500 lira for two omelets, pancakes, coffee, water and tea. Would recommend if you're looking for western meal or nice coffee.

Great location, great space, comfortable chairs and excellent coffee & food. We came back almost every day of our trip we enjoyed it so much. The Aussie breakfast is excellent!

My favorite place for breakfast in Galata area. Friendly English speaking staff, great food, European/Australian cuisine. Perfect coffee - hot and cold options.

As a tourist, this place has a good balance between international and Turkish vibes. With a good selection for Turkish breakfast but also delicious pancakes and coffee options, as well as good vibes for coming with family and friends, or coming to sit and do work on a laptop!

Really enjoyed working from this place. This is my second day in a row working here and I'm sure I'll be back. Food is great and there's a crazy amount of fancy and different coffees to try. Also a great English breakfast.

Unacceptable ! I was just there as I read all the great reviews and besides the cold welcome, the attitude of bartender / cashier is absolutely unacceptable. First of, she's not wearing her mask and as I asked her 'why you're not wearing your mask?, she answers 'this happens!' I canceled my order, got reimbursed and left! Seriously guys !? We're in this together, it seems that there they don't really care! It's ashamed I was really looking forward to try this place and got cut of. I won't return!

Rare combination of good breakfasts with avocado toast & speciality coffee. Cozy and spacious seating inside. Very good place for Beyoglu area

Best coffee in Istanbul! It's Australian style and I love this. But most staffs are not friendly with customer who speak English.

We stayed nearby and ate here everyday because it’s so good. Great ambiance, music, friendly staff, and funky industrial interior. The orange juice is real fresh squeezed, and the menemen is perfectly fluffy. Get the iced espresso chai- they have oat and almond milk options. The Turkish breakfast is great for 2! Thanks for feeding us Federal!

Took here coffee a few times, and I really like the taste. Atmosphere is also nice, a lot of places for seating alone with laptop, or with friends)

Love this place, such good and strong coffee. Food is great as well as the atmosphere both inside and outside, music is great too

I had falafel bowl which had more buckwheat than falafel. The name of the bowl does not represent what they service given falafel had much less than other stuff in the bowl. Unfortunately, Falafel itself was not tasty either. It is more of a place for coffee and dessert. Coffee was good. Atmosphere is pretty cosy. It can be sat down for chat & study.

This place is worth every lira! The food was great, and their coffee was the best I tried here so far

I was right to choose this cafe for breakfast on my first day in Istanbul. The sandwich with crispy fluffy croissant, exquisite salty cheese and fresh tomatoes was the best I have ever tasted in my life. The atmosphere is great and I wish I had this cafe in my neighborhood.

Order the healthy breakfast which comes with 1 slice of bread and 1 poached egg, half avocado, half mango(given pineapple as substitute), cheese and honey. Do not need to describe in too many details as you can clearly see in the pic what kind of avocado and pineapple were served! The pineapple was off! Why would they serve something which isn’t good? Same as the mango, if it’s not available, provide an alternative and if the alternative isn’t good then talk to the customer to change the order. When I spoke to the waiter, I told him it is not acceptable and just took the plate away. On top, I order a glass of orange juice which they put ice cubes (not requested) and asked if the ice cubes were bottle or tap, I was told tap. If the locals do not drink tap water and it is not recommended unless really necessary why would you serve it to your customers?

One of the worst cafes i have been to. The place is old and dirty not worth going to.

Beautiful place , grate food and atmosphere!! If you want a good breakfast is the right place. Per gli italiani , il caffe è buono !

Cozy place.... delicious food.... specialty coffee

The Federal cafe chain has the best coffee in Istanbul, not only do they have their own roastery in Istanbul, they make true Australian style coffee. Their flavours are always on point and the service has always been attentive and reliable. I have been coming here for over 5 years and it hasn’t changed. Highly reccomended!

I'm guilty of visiting this cafe multiple times whilst in Istanbul. It is true to the Australian Cafe vibe and menu, and they do a really good job of it at affordable prices. Highly recommended for a touch of home whilst away.

(Translated by Google) The tone of the woman in the vault is terrible. The tourists in the back didn't let us sit while they were sitting. Then what was forbidden to everyone. When businesses have such disrespectful attitudes, of course I will not buy the coffee I will buy every day. Really being sympathetic to the customer shouldn't be so difficult. Probably the woman's work is going to trouble. I do not recommend. (Original) Kasadaki kadının üslübü korkunç. Arkadaki turistler oturuyorken bizim oturmamıza izin vermedi. Sonra neymiş herkese yasakmış. İşletmelerin böyle saygısız tavırları olduğunda her gün alacağım kahveyi tabiki ordan almayacağım. Gerçekten müşteriye sempatik olmak bu kadar zor gelmemeli. Kadının yaptığı iş zoruna gidiyor muhtemelen. Tavsiye etmiyorum.

(Translated by Google) The style of the blonde woman on the vault was very bad and very disrespectful. This has been mentioned in many comments, and there is an urgent need to change personnel. Otherwise, he will lose many of his customers. The woman is an extreme, but extremely mangy person. Never go here. (Original) Kasadaki sarısın kadının üslubu çok kötü ve cok saygısızcaydı. Birçok yorumda da bundan bahsedilmiş.Acilen bir personel degişikliğine gidilmesi gerekiyor. Yoksa bir çok müşterisini kaybeder. Kadın aşırı aşırı ama aşırı uyuz birisi. Asla gitmeyin buraya .

(Translated by Google) I did not like the style of the lady at the cash desk, she was talking to you, we paid 42 TL for 2 coffees and greeted them with a style as if we bought them for free. It was my 2nd time here, I don't think I will come to the 3rd because of this style and high prices. A cup of coffee 21 lira (Original) Kasadaki hanımefendinin üslubunu beğenmedim senli benli konuşuyor, 2 kahveye 42 TL ödedik sanki bedava almışız gibi bi üslupla karşıladı. Buraya 2. Gelişimdi, şu üsluptan ve yüksek fiyatlardan ötürü 3.ye geleceğimi sanmıyorum. Bi bardak kahve 21 lira

Fantastic coffee and omelets. Relaxing atmosphere as well.

I been there almost all time of my vocation, because they have very oriented cuisine where everyone can find the needful preferences. For those who need specific coffee what I been looking for is almond cappuccino it’s the best place 😍 definitely will be back again!

Uber cool. Great coffee. Great food. Great ambience. Everything. Take a seat by the window and enjoy watching people getting selfies with the nearby Galata Tower as a backdrop. Have the fruit granola bowl.

Tasty spot for breakfast, along with so many drink options. I wish I could come back a few more times. Special shout out to the chai latte and granola. Sit upstairs outside to get a great view.

We ordered pancakes but due to the kitchen being so busy , it took 25 min to come .. however when they did arrive they were burned! And then we ordered water that wasn’t cold.. they said they don’t have any and offered us filtered water, which in the end tried to charge us for it for 45 tl. In the end we ended up paying for burned pancakes and somewhat bad service .. seriously 😒

Went there and got the san sebastian with a cappucino, it was good and most importantly it was chill and not crowded near the galata tower. It was good to escape the crowds.

Federal Galata Cafe is an absolute gem in the heart of the area. Their coffee and breakfast are simply unparalleled, setting a new standard for quality in the region. The Aussie ambience adds a unique touch that sets it apart from the rest. The service is nothing short of amazing. The staff not only excel in their roles but also communicate fluently in English, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. If you're in the area and looking for exceptional coffee and breakfast in a delightful setting, Federal Galata Cafe is the place to be. It's a true standout in every sense.

One of the best breakfast places I’ve been to in Istanbul! The service could have been improved but I also understand that I went for breakfast at 8am. The coffee and the egg dishes were amazing! If you like croissant they have wide selections. The coffee house itself gives a very rustic vibe. A must go place!

Warm place. Nice staff and good food

As far as being a cool hangout place, Federal Galata hits all the spots. Nice mood, decent food, chill vibe, this is definitely somewhere to hit up with a small group to let the hours pass. However, as a work café, it leaves a few boxes unticked with the shortage of comfortable seating. The food does not warrant complaints and that's perfectly sufficient for the type of establishment Federal Galata is. Although, the place did have an unusually stoic and cold staff for this type of café.

Edgy and hip design in a comfortable atmosphere with chill music that sets a tone without being overbearing. We tried the V12 and Chopper cold brew coffee blends and had our minds blown - they were SOO GOOD! Convenient location to Galata Tower but I'm a quiet side street away from the crowds. Food menu looks good too. We'll be back!

Undoubtedly one of the best new coffee chains originated in Australia and the best one in Istanbul is right here at Galata. I am picky abouty blends and the preparation of a good coffee is rather ritualistic... This you will witness in every step that the baristas here prepare an espresso or a filtered or a cold brew. Don't forget to buy yourself the Honduras OR Sidamo blend if you love dark roasts.

Cute little coffee shop next to the Galata Kulesi. Coffee and food are very good. It’s nice to chill a little in the cafe if you want a little break from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. There is a fast internet connection in the cafe.

The dessert here are a must have. Good place for a lazy afternoon.

So far one of the best and for sure the most cozy cafe - restaurant in Istanbul. Great atmosphere, delicious food, awesome music. Must get inside! :)

(Translated by Google) Very atmospheric cafe in atmospheric Galata area. Interesting design, you can look at the details for hours! The coffee list is huge, about 50 types of coffee. Unfortunately, some coffee that I wanted to try was out of stock, as were the desserts. (Original) Очень атмосферная кафешка в атмосферном районе Галата. Интересный дизайн, можно разглядывать детали часами! Кофейная карта огромна, порядка 50 видов кофе. К сожалению, некоторого вида кофе, которые хотелось попробовать, не было в наличии, равно как и десертов.

The good : The café has a very European feel to it, Parisian rustic almost. Music was soft French music and the volume was satisfactory. The café has all kinds of seating that would cater for most, if not all and even has al fresco style table at the top as you enter inside. The furniture was also very chic. The bad : We had a very poor experience on our visit. We ordered the grand Turkish breakfast(come for 2 person) and also espresso. The breakfast was so-so, the menemen was by far the worst I've tried, the other tapas style dishes were okay. We asked for extra Turkish simit and the waiter told us hesitantly that the chef won't like it, so I offered to pay extra but ağın was refused bearing in mind that the waiter spoke English fluently. Then I asked for turkish tea which they didn't seem to have bearing in mind we ordered 'Turkish' breakfast. The espresso after taking the first dip, had to be abandoned. I relayed this to the waiter for it to be passed on to the management of they wish out cared for it. In any event, will not be returning.

(Translated by Google) Normally, FEDERAL coffee is delightful, but this time it did not happen. Although Costa Rica is famous, the V60 I ​​drank showed that the beans were very stale. I hope attention is paid to fresh beans / coffee, we always come (Original) Normalde FEDERAL kahvesi muthistir ama bu defa olmadi. Costa Rica’si meshur olmasina ragmen ictigim V60’i cekirdeklerin cok bayat oldugunu gosterdi. Umarim taze cekirdek/kahve konusunda dikkat edilir, her zaman geliriz❤️

(Translated by Google) Very good as always. (Original) Her zaman ki gibi çok iyi.

(Translated by Google) Expensive (Original) Pahalı

(Translated by Google) Even a place where I can hang out for hours just for the playlist, they even played Jaar sometime. Prices are not exaggeration, staff is concerned, the decor inside is very nice, I even added it to my favorites. (Original) Sırf playlist'i için bile saatlerce takılabileceğim bir mekan, bir ara Jaar bile çaldılar. Fiyatlar abartı değil, personel ilgili, içerideki dekor gayet hoş olmuş, favorilerime ekledim bile.

I spent two weeks in Istanbul working remotely, this is by far my favourite cafe in Istanbul. Great setting, great coffee & food and lovely staff.

Good coffee, relaxed atmosphere if not too busy, friendly staff. Haven’t had the opportunity to taste their selection of breakfast/snacks but they do look great. Maybe next time.

One of the best Coffee place in Istanbul. If you are a coffee lover this place is for you. Top! Cosy and services ❤️

Good place to work from! The food is surprisingly good for a „cafe“, good coffee and plugs everywhere for those who need to work ;)

Just love sitting by the window of the ground floor looking out. Been there a few times and it was very relaxing. I haven't tried anything from the menu except for the coffee, which is ok. Don't expect anything extraordinary. The ice smells weird sometimes. The lady who seems to be the owner is friendly and always welcomes you with a smile. I've tried almost every cafe near Galata Kulesi and their staff are horrible. Not just bad... horrible! This is one of the only places that can make me feel calm in that area.

If you're looking for fresh, tasty food outside of the Turkish cuisine, this is the place. The Salmon Tagliatelle is one the best dishes I had in my entire stay in Turkey, and I am now ordering it for a 3rd time 😅. Also the coffee is great, and not Netscafé either! (everything's priced well to boot).

Great coffee, and good food. Actually serve up dishes other then just the regular Turkish reiterations found in most cafe/restaurants. Had the salmon tartine and the Aussie breakfast, a welcome break from the usual Turkish breakfast. Maybe the barista pulled a god shot, but hands down best flat white I’ve had. Wish I had time to check for consistency. Interior decor is cozy and modern, and the staff were happy to help us with all our questions. Google translate for the win! Did I mention they serve pork here. It’s been awhile bacon... 😋

It took a while for the waiter to notice us and the prices are above average BUT the best coffee I've had in the city and the place itself is very nice and cozy

The best coffee in İstanbul! Such a good atmosphere, hipster decoration and amazing food. We had the eggs Benedict and menemen. Very enjoyable close to Galata Tower

Great place, cool location, friendly restaurant staff and tasty food! =) Thank you!

(Translated by Google) a very decent place. his coffee is legendary .. (Original) çok nezih bir mekan. kahvesi efsane..

(Translated by Google) Beautiful with single word (Original) Tek kelime ile güzel

(Translated by Google) You should definitely try it with its delicious coffee and desserts. Its environment and atmosphere are beautiful. It has a nice design. It is approximately 25-30 meters from Galata tower. (Original) Lezzetli kahve ve tatlılarıyla kesinlikle denemelisiniz. Ortamı ve atmosferi çok güzel. Hoş bir dizayna sahip.

(Translated by Google) We drank flat white, colombian filter coffee and ice latte. Very nice employees are also sympathetic. However, it will be better if the lady who looks at the cash register pays attention to her attitude and the answers she gives when you call the place on the phone. There is a valet agreement in the food basket, no food cards are passed in the food basket, but ticket card passes if you pay at the venue. I have no information about the others. The place could have been better if it weren't for the lady at the checkout. (Original) Flat white, colombian filtre kahve ve ice lattesini ictik gayet guzel calisanlar da sempatik. Ancak kasaya bakan hanimefendi tavirlarina ve telefonda mekani aradiginizda verdigi cevaplara dikkat ederse (uslup) daha iyi olacaktir. Telefonla siparis almiyor yemek sepetinde vale anlasmasi var yemek sepetinde yemek kartlari gecmiyor ancak mekanda odeme yapmaniz durumunda ticket kart gecerleri. Digerleri hakkinda bilgim yok. Kasadaki hanimefendi olmasa mekan daha iyi olabilirdi.

Hands down the best coffee in Istanbul. The brew is smooth and no earthy taste that is very common here in Istanbul. If you are a fellow Melbournian from Australia reading this review.. head to this cafe. It is the 'Dukes' of Instanbul. If you are into a more earthy taste coffee then head Knottrop or Swedish coffee roasters. But if you want to know what the famous Melbourne coffee taste like... Head here.

Nice place with English menus and staff. Long cooking but good taste.

(Translated by Google) Good coffee, good music, nice courteous and servant employees. I can only recommend it for coffee. They should be careful because they have products cooked with PIG on the menu. The only reason I Give a Star is because they wrote PIG in English on the menu ...

A lovely place to spend hours here and work! The staff are really lovely. The coffee is really good. The food is also amazing (try their bowls!) and come in huge portions. All in all, it’s a really cosy place that’s tucked away and yet so close to Galata. Love this place!

One of the best cafe in my life. The cuisine is amazingly wonderful with its balance. And one of the best coffee I've ever had. No matter what coffee you liked before, you will like them all after this place.

Great ambience, super nice host and the food is top quality with large portions. Loved the place will definitely come back here during our stay ❤️

Really nice place with great food!

I always go here to work and it is great. The people are so nice. The coffee and food is always on point. I highly recommend it.

The cafe has a very nice atmosphere.. comfy seating and diverse options. The coffee tastes nice and fresh! They also offer a nice selection of deserts. I would recommend it for those looking for somewhere relatively quiet. I believe it has also a smoking seating area too.

Great coffee and place to work from. Didn’t have a chance to try their food but it looked good from what I saw from the others. Cozy nooks by the window to work from we’re ideal. The only reason why I’m not giving a 5 but a 4 is because I worked from the cafe a handful of times and the music was uncomfortably loud, to the point I could see fellow patrons also pointing it out and feeling strange about the music blasting into their ears at 10am. I pointed this out to one of wait staff and they said they would ask the management but nothing was done. Maybe a good time to reassess your music vibe when there are so many complaints. 😊

One of the best Iced lattes in town, they offer vegan milk and lactose free options.

We stopped in on a cold, rainy day for breakfast, and we didn't regret it. The staff are great, the atmosphere was warm and festive, and the food and drinks were fantastic!

I give them 5 stars for the salmon avocado toast... well done

The best breakfast place in Galata area. Benedict eggs 10/10!

Stunning, friendly, mesmerizing. Three words to define this stellar gem. Out of the world friendly baristas and staff. A menu to fulfill every coffee addicts dreams. You’re missing out if you haven’t been here.

Very nice coffee and nice staff. You really see they know their coffee. Have standard second wave coffee and make very nice 3th wave coffee. I really recommend their Columbia beans in a Chemex. Would definitely recommend!

Very cozy place, with great breakfasts and food. If you got tired of Turkish breakfasts, totally recommend this place. Avocado toast was delicious, also loved falafel bowl, autumn tea was very tasty. Stuff could be a bit more interested and helpful though.

Stumbled upon Federal Coffee Roasters while walking around Galata tower. Located down a more quiet road filled with character. The staff were wonderful. You go inside and order at the counter and someone will bring you your coffee to your table. I highly recommend sitting outside on the street to take in the life and bustle of the area. Affordable and delicious coffee, just what we needed. They accept credit cards.

I just love this place! Nice music, tasty food, beautiful cat and unforgettable style of this place! Every time when I’m in Istanbul - I’m trying to visit my favorite place!

I went for the first time today, it's a very cute place😇

It's a place I always visit on the weekends and I love their coffee. Thank you☺️
