Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi Review
On a backstreet just outside the western entrance to the Egyptian Bazaar is the tiny art deco-era flagship store of Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, Turkey's oldest coffee producer (founded 1871), whose finely ground coffee is legendary. Customers can purchase either beans or ground coffee, which makes a good souvenir of a trip to Turkey.
