3) Caffe Nero - Caddebostan
Caffe Nero is located on Caddebostan seaside right in front of the Migros. This caffe is my favorite because it is right on the seaside where I can ride my bike from home easily. Also it has a cosy ambiance, nice garden and balcony. The view of the second floor is one of the best in this area.
The wifi speed is decent but when it's crowded it gets super slow. However, if you are not bounded to internet you can enjoy the Prince's Islands view from the second floor of Nero.
During the finals week and weekends Nero is generally too crowded just like anywhere in Istanbul.

4) Mambocino- Moda
Mambocino is a boutique coffee shop surrounded by franchises of Starbucks, Caffe Nero, Kahve Dünyası. However, none of them can serve a coffee as good as Mambocino's. This place my not be the best for group meetings because tables are not big enough but is definitely great for working and enjoying the good quality coffee.
Since Mambocino is a coffee shop, expecting a good food doesn't seem fair. However there is a lovely restaurant right in front of Mambocino, called Tomatito. I strongly recommend their falafel and noodle.
