My favorite boza place is Vefa in Fatih. Boza is a fermented drink, thick, sweet and sour, usually served cold as kefir drink and can be consumed with a spoon. This boza shop is pretty old – Ataturk was one of its patrons. They serve boza with cinnamon and people come here especially for the drink – sit with their glasses, drink it or eat and then leave. Inside the place resembles an old-school drug store – quiet, mysterious – like serving some healing potion. The neighborhood is far from tourist Sultanahmet-Old City or markets. So authentic and calm and pretty central at the same time.
