We only shared a cup of Boza. It must be an acquired taste and not to my liking. It did seem popular with the locals of all ages though. Beautiful antique interior from 1876.

An excellent experience and well worth the trip just for a simple drink. The interior of the cafe is stunning and makes you feel like you just stepped back in time. The Boza itself was so refreshingly different, I never expected it to taste so refreshing and soothing. Highly recommend this place on your visit to Istanbul.

It’s rarely that I try something completely new. This drink is delicious. It tastes milky, fruity, slightly sour, but not like alcohol or a fruit drink or dairy. They sprinkle cinnamon on top. A cup is pretty filling and costs 12 Lira (€0.75) at the time of writing.

Very old shop, Serves Boza, a drink only made in winter, similar to Sehlab in texture but different taste more soury because of the fermented wheat process… The place is always crowded at night, people would stand beside the shop to drink it or for take out to enjoy a walk while drinking, worth the try.

This is one of the few remaining street favors of old Istanbul. Boza is a sweet and sour traditional drink, in general sold by street vendors that travel neighborhoods on foot during winter nights. The drink is thick made with corn flour and served with cinnamon. In general, people will put on top warm leblebi(roasted chickpeas) and eat with spoon first and then drink the remaining. Vefa Bozacisi still has its original interiors and location since 1800s. Not everyone might enjoy its taste and texture but are something to try out. The parking is very limited and expect long lines during winter months.

Atmosphere is good but a little bit pricy for a small cup of Boza. It is a good experience if you enjoy taste of it. I have not had boza for 15 years and my limit was full with one cup.

Old cafe where you dan try good boza, interesting place for visiting, authentic interior, they said even Ataturk was drinking boza there. Tasty grape lemonade. Suggest to visit😎🤌

It certainly is a must-see historical location. However, they didn't have the sour (more fermented) version as it's summer they said. And şıra was unusually extra sweet. Lemonade was pretty good though.

Beautiful and historical spot that specializes in Boza, a traditional fermented drink from the Ottoman times that has a unique sour and tangy flavor with sweetness as well, it was really delicious and affordable and i do highly recommend you visit it and experience this unique drink in one of the oldest makers of it.

It is tasty and delicious! Good and healthy drink! In winter they have Sahleb too!! It is located in the heart of Al Fatih!! Five minutes walk from Vezneciler Metro station! The price of the cup is now Fifteen turkish liras!! The shop has this old antique style!! The staff are friendly and one of them speaks good English which is a plus!! You can have it for take away or buy a jug for family!! They sell other different products as well! It is a must try if you are in the area! You will love it and you will go again!! I went three times during my stay!! Highly recommended!!

This place is the best for boza, a traditional winter drink. Even though you can find the same brand of boza in supermarkets, having it here is a winter ritual. In the past, ordering inside the place could be chaotic, but now, the staff quickly and efficiently serve you right where you’re standing outside, without needing to brave the crowds. And as for the taste, it’s unquestionably excellent.

Very unique and different taste. But very delicious as well. Reasonable price. Great service.

Oldest Boza Maker of Istanbul since 1876. There May be a little queue but you can get your boza in a few minutes. They dont give leblebi with boza but you can buy from across the street. Boza is a half sweet half sour traditional drink which is made of corn flour, water and sugar. And its very popular especially in winter altough it is served cold with cinnamon on top

Tried the Boza(25TL). Simple but tasty Traditional Turkish Beverage. A must check in point for food lovers!!

Nice decorated tea shop. First time to try boza, not our favorite, but we are happy to visit anyway. It tasted like apple mousse starch drinks.

Vefa Bozacisi is a one of the most amusing places in Istanbul. I had a glass of Boza, the price for it was 20 Liras. It was amazing drink with very subtle taste. It was a flavourful amalgamation of yogurt like tanginess and alcohol fermentation. Boza was delicious and the flavour was something one will not come across often, they sprinkle cinnamon powder on the top, it really adds to the flavour. The interior is beautiful, with wooden cabinets, lamps and platforms. If you happen to visit Sulemaniya Mosque then it is a 10 min walk from there. The place also sells different types of bottled syrups, In case you are interested in buying. You will find a lot of locals grabbing the drink, which seem to be their patrons.

Don't forget to buy some roasted chickpeas from Vefa Çerez. It's opposite to Vefa Bozacısı. If you buy the small 10 lira packet, it will be plenty for your drink. Boza is good but it becomes really good with some chickpeas added in it.

It is certainly place to go considering the cultural and culinary significance. The boza taste was still good but I hate the fact that they started to serve them in paper cups for practical reasons which totally destroy the experience in my opinion.

A very interesting fermented drink. Don’t read too much into the ingredient list, just give it a go! And make sure to buy roasted chickpeas to sprinkle on top of your drink in the shop across.

Great authentic place to try boza, traditional Turkish beverage. You can meet locals there, enjoy atmosphere of place and try this drink of very interesting taste.

Great place for a boza, maybe a bit outside the main tourist area, but believe me - worth it! They only serve boza and some traditional juices, plus you can buy some aceto balsamico and pomegranate sauce. You can also see a glass from wich Ataturk drank boza when he visited in late 1800s.

I came to know about this drink shop while watching a YouTube video to learn about the food and drink there before going to Istanbul. after Suleiman masque visit wewent here, which was about a ten minute walk. The Boza shop was conservative, which I liked. Drink Boza there, the recipe of which is said to be from the Ottoman era. The boza drink was slightly salty and thick. It is difficult to drink more than one glass. He drank cherry juice with it, which was said to be like wine. I found the cherry juice more refreshing than the booza drink. Overall, this place is worth a visit with its grandeur.

A must-see historic place where you can taste traditional Turkish non-alcohol drink called "Boza". Just step in, take a cup of boza and enjoy the cosy little historic atmosphere.

Place is very nice and drink is beautiful i love more sahlep but my gf prefers boza so i think so if u have free time come and check however it’s 10 tl lit bit expensive for locals but for foreigners it’s cheap !! Enjoy
