A welcoming vegan space with heart and purpose! - Edit
Ayrışım Bookstore Café stands out not only for its strong stance on justice for all beings, but also for its delicious and affordable menu. The breakfast here is hands down one of the best vegan breakfasts you can find in Istanbul right now — generous portions, thoughtful ingredients, and unbeatable prices.
Read moreIn a time when vegan options are becoming scarce or overpriced, Ayrışım offers a satisfying four-dish meal at a very reasonable cost.
The bookstore section is beautifully curated, and what truly sets it apart is a dedicated section on animal liberation — a topic often overlooked by other bookstores.
Oh, and don’t leave without checking out the bright red toilet — quirky, cheerful, and totally in line with the café’s bold spirit!
