Tip: The breakfast is the value order. The chocolate counter is better for gifts than for dessert.
Address: Değirmiçem, Gazi Muhtar Paşa Blv. No:17, 27090 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep
Tahmis Kahvesi has poured coffee beside the Gaziantep spice market since 1635, and menengiç, the wild pistachio brew, is what to order here.
Signature drink: Menengiç kahvesi
Tip: Backgammon boards and live saz appear most evenings. Sit in the vaulted room, not the street tables.
Kahveci Seddar Bey serves a two-colour dibek coffee inside the Gümrük Han in Gaziantep, ground under a mallet in a stone mortar behind the counter.
Signature drink: Çift renkli dibek kahvesi
Tip: Closed Mondays, open 09:00 to 19:00 the other six days. Enter through the han gate, not from the street.
Papirüs Cafe occupies a restored Armenian mansion in Bey Mahallesi, and its vine-shaded Gaziantep courtyard is the calmest table in the old city.
Signature drink: Zahter çayı
Tip: The courtyard fills by mid-afternoon. Come before noon if you want a table under the vines.
Havara Kitap Kafe is a women-run book cafe in Karagöz, Gaziantep, built from reclaimed materials across several levels with a lending library.
Signature drink: Türk kahvesi
Tip: Service is partly self-serve and not always signposted. Order at the counter to save waiting.
Yeşilçam Kahve Evi lines its walls with Turkish film stills in İbrahimli, and it is the Gaziantep cafe in this district that stays open latest.
Signature drink: Türk kahvesi
Tip: The upstairs room is quieter. Downstairs runs nargile and gets smoky after dark.
Kahve Tiryakisi pairs single-origin filter coffee with a full Turkish breakfast in Yeditepe, which is unusual for Gaziantep outside the old city.
Signature drink: Filter coffee from the chain's own roast
Tip: Breakfast runs long here. Budget ninety minutes rather than a quick coffee stop.
