Cartel Coffee & Cocktails

Tucked into the stone lanes of Hacimemis, Cartel is the rare room that takes both halves of its name seriously. The coffee programme is run with Turkish barista-champion pedigree, while the bar is built around an award-winning bartender's hand, so the espresso martini here is made by people who can actually pull the espresso. Fresh, original builds like fruit-forward sours sit alongside precise classics, and the room itself is well-composed without trying to be a scene. It reads as a daytime-to-evening craft destination rather than a see-and-be-seen stop, which is exactly why discerning regulars trust it.
