About
Türk Telekom Prime Espressolab Roastery in Istanbul embodies a deep passion for coffee that permeates every aspect of the café. Established in 2014 at Istanbul Bilgi University, Espressolab has grown into a vibrant hub for coffee lovers and a key proponent of third wave coffee culture. The aim is to bring specialty coffee to a wider audience, share the stories behind each bean, and create a shared space for enjoyment. With more than 380 stores worldwide, the value placed on quality, transparency of origin, and sustainability is evident throughout. The ambiance combines modern spirit with a legitimate respect for the craft of coffee roasting, featuring innovations such as Therma-Freeze technology and engaging workshops. The heart of the experience is the in-house roastery, where visitors can trace coffee's journey from bean to cup. Sustainability and social responsibility underpin the concept, highlighted by initiatives like "Responsible Together" and full supply-chain transparency via Seedtrace. Espressolab Roastery stands as an inspiring space where coffee passion, innovation, and community come together.
Food
At Türk Telekom Prime Espressolab Roastery, guests enjoy a diverse food menu designed to complement the coffee experience. The bakery selection features signature delicacies, cakes, and desserts crafted with special recipes. Espressolab has collaborated with world-renowned chefs such as Antonio Bachour, Bernardo Constantino, and Defne Berk to develop unique creations exclusively for their Bakery concept stores, perfectly paired with coffee. The all-day menu further includes handmade sandwiches, gourmet pizzas, and convenient snacks — all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. This provides guests with both sweet and savory options to enjoy alongside their coffee.
Coffee & Drinks
Türk Telekom Prime Espressolab Roastery offers a wide selection of specialty coffees with a strong focus on quality and innovation. Guests can choose from a variety of single-origin coffees from countries such as Costa Rica, Burundi, Colombia, Honduras, and El Salvador. The journey of each bean is made fully transparent through Seedtrace, allowing customers to trace the coffee's path from farm to cup. Espressolab also pioneers innovation in coffee preparation, particularly with the Therma-Freeze method, where beans are flash-frozen at –30 °C. This process locks in the beans' freshness, aroma, and flavor components at their peak, resulting in an intense, balanced, and vibrant cup. The in-house roastery offers a range of blends and single-origin coffees, including decaffeinated options and sampler sets. Emphasis is also placed on sustainable and ethical sourcing practices.

Espressolab Roastery in Merter is easily one of the best coffee spots around. The atmosphere is amazing spacious, modern, and filled with the rich smell of freshly roasted coffee. It's a perfect place to relax, study, or work with your laptop. The staff are friendly and really know their coffee, and you can tell they care about what they serve. The desserts and snacks are also great, especially when paired with a freshly brewed filter or flat white. It's become one of my go-to places for both quality coffee and a calm vibe
Bir güngörenli olarak eskiden bu bölgede tinerci olmasından dolayı geçmekten korktuğum şimdi ise istanbulun en iyi cafesi olmasından gurur duyduğum bir yer, hafta içi sabah saat 10 -11 arası gidip kahvenizi içebilirsiniz.Artı Ücretsiz wifi hizmeti mevcut kota sınırlaması var 2 saat size internet veriyor freelance olarak çalışanlar için kötü bir durum.
Best of the best , highly recommended for all kind of people.
Bring your laptop to work , very suitable for working
Fantastic place! You can sit and eat delicious desserts - large portions and well worth the money or savoury snacks. It’s really thriving (clearly attracts many young students) and the atmosphere is great. There is plenty of seating indoors and out - the seats in the shade were all occupied on the hot day that we visited but indoors had a great vibe too. Lost of people working/ meeting friends. There’s a place to buy gifts and coffee, you can see them roast the coffee industrial style, there’s also a juice/smoothie bar and an area where classes are held (was closed when we went.) it’s on our list to visit when we’re back.
Unique Design for this branch of Espresso lab , Great atmosphere and service
Suitable for studying , working , Just Chilling.
a fantastic spot for coffee enthusiasts. The cafe offers a modern, sleek atmosphere with plenty of seating and a great vibe for both working or relaxing. The coffee is top-notch, with a wide variety of brews to choose from, made from high-quality beans roasted on-site. Their baristas are skilled, and the service is friendly, making it a reliable choice for a caffeine fix. It’s a bit tucked away, but definitely worth finding if you appreciate good coffee in a comfortable setting.
Amazing place for studying, working or for a, normal gathering ❤️

I love Espressolab as a brand but this is the best coffee shop that I have ever visited. The atmosphere is amazing, very positive and relaxing vibes. Great for just chilling or working. I love the coconut milk cappuccino and they also have very good Kombucha. I am returning to this place every time I am close in the area.
OH.MY.GOD! The best co-working in Istanbul! Coffee is usual, like in other Espressolabs, but they have own bakery here and it is increadible!
Nefes alınacak bir mekan çok sık gidiyorum lezzetli ve değişik tatları denemek isterseniz bu mekan tam yeri ücretsiz wifi şömine sıcacık ortam hem içerisi hem dışarda rahat ve konforlu oturma alanları personellerin güler yüzlü olması kahve kokusu öğütüldüğü yeri görmeniz şehrin içinde gizli bir kaçış noktası ayrıca şipşak foto çekim yeri ücretsiz hatıra olarak alabilirsiniz .
The place is located at a very busy area of the town known for clothes wholesale. You may experience some traffic coming here but the good thing is that they have a valet at the door which makes it easy. The atmosphere here is really nice and friendly. The place is located very close to 3 universities and thats why many students come here to hang out or study. There are some rooms especially for work or study which are completely quiet. The factory itself is an old warehouse with coffee roasting machines and people working in it. There are chairs and tables for people to sit right by the factory and have a coffee and snacks. You can even buy roasted coffee or other coffee related products. Totally recommended for a friendly hangout 👌

I recommend visiting this coffee
Interesting place for working or studying but I noticed that the internet access is only for 2 hrs. A very good bakery inside but the prices ar not for students iced latte reaches +100₺ the bakery price were expensive too. You can take turkish coffee for 55₺ wish is more affordable for students. Lovely atmosphere overall
