9 cafes in Gaziantep, editor-picked for cafes open sunday. Cafes serving on sundays. All cafes in Gaziantep.

Tarihi Tahmis Kahvesi ★ 4.7

sahinbey · Eski, Suyabatmaz, Buğday Pazarı Sk. No:8, 27400 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-24:00

Tahmis Kahvesi has poured coffee beside the Gaziantep spice market since 1635, and menengiç, the wild pistachio brew, is what to order here.

Tip: Backgammon boards and live saz appear most evenings. Sit in the vaulted room, not the street tables.

Papirüs Cafe ★ 4.4

sahinbey · Bey, Noter Sk. No:10, 27010 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-22:00

Papirüs Cafe occupies a restored Armenian mansion in Bey Mahallesi, and its vine-shaded Gaziantep courtyard is the calmest table in the old city.

Tip: The courtyard fills by mid-afternoon. Come before noon if you want a table under the vines.

Kahveci Seddar Bey ★ 4.3

sahinbey · Şekeroğlu, Gümrük Cd. No:14/3, 27000 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Tue-Sun 09:00-19:00; closed Mon

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.

Tip: Closed Mondays, open 09:00 to 19:00 the other six days. Enter through the han gate, not from the street.

Orkide Pastanesi ★ 4.3

sehitkamil · Değirmiçem, Gazi Muhtar Paşa Blv. No:17, 27090 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 07:00-23:00

Orkide Pastanesi is the Gaziantep patisserie chain locals send visitors to, with chocolates, cakes and a breakfast spread on Gazi Muhtar Paşa.

Tip: The breakfast is the value order. The chocolate counter is better for gifts than for dessert.

Kahve Tiryakisi ★ 4.1

yeditepe · Yeditepe, 85203 Nolu Sk 41/A, 27470 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 07:30-24:00

Kahve Tiryakisi pairs single-origin filter coffee with a full Turkish breakfast in Yeditepe, which is unusual for Gaziantep outside the old city.

Tip: Breakfast runs long here. Budget ninety minutes rather than a quick coffee stop.

Yeşilçam Kahve Evi ★ 4.0

ibrahimli · Atatürk, Adnan İnanıcı Cd. no:46/a, 27560 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-01:00

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.

Tip: The upstairs room is quieter. Downstairs runs nargile and gets smoky after dark.

Treff Bistro ★ 3.9

kavaklik · Öğretmenevleri Mah. Meteoroloji Sok, Engelliler Parkı, 27010 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 07:30-00:30

Treff Bistro sits under the trees of Kavaklık Park in Gaziantep, a patio cafe for breakfast and coffee that moves indoors when the weather turns.

Tip: Live music runs some evenings. Ask when you book if you would rather avoid it.

Brezılıan Coffee Co ★ 3.8

yeditepe · Güneykent, 216 Nolu Cadde No:8/B, 27470 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-24:00

Brezılıan Coffee Co pulls espresso near Gaziantep University and runs ceramic-painting sessions, which draws a student crowd until midnight.

Tip: The door between the two rooms lets smoke through. Ask for the far side if that matters.

Mösyö Cafe & Restaurant ★ 3.8

kavaklik · Kavaklık, Ahmet Apaydın Cd. No:42/1, 27070 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-24:00

Mösyö Cafe & Restaurant looks over Kavaklık in Gaziantep and works as a breakfast room, a coffee stop and a live-music venue on the same terrace.

Tip: Live music starts late. Come in the morning if you want the terrace quiet.
