Medo Cafe Ferry Road stands out as a cozy cafe rooted in Mediterranean flavors and a welcoming local atmosphere. Situated conveniently on Ferry Road, right opposite a bus stop, it’s a natural morning stop for commuters and locals alike looking to kickstart their day with thoughtfully prepared coffee and an assortment of breakfast options.

The vibe inside is quietly inviting, enriched by an array of lush plants that soften the space and create a calm retreat from the city’s bustle. The staff contribute a warm, unhurried presence that helps set a relaxed tone, making it a comfortable spot for both solo visitors and small groups.

What defines Medo Cafe beyond the usual stands in the freshness and care visible in each dish and drink. Drinks like their mint tea arrive with a mindful twist—infused with spices and fresh ingredients, it breaks the mold of a standard brew and offers a layered sensory experience. This attention to detail extends to the Mediterranean-inspired food, with many options to accommodate vegetarian tastes and authentic touches that resonate with people familiar with those flavors, particularly from Turkish cuisine.

This café works well as a laid-back meeting spot for friends or a pleasant pit stop when on the go. Early mornings and mid-mornings seem to be when it truly shines, providing both the caffeine boost and the comfort of a peaceful environment before the day fully kicks in. Those looking for a casual, unpretentious spot to enjoy quality coffee or a heartier breakfast will find Medo Cafe Ferry Road aligns well with those needs.

Came here by chance but what a find, only had time for a drink but will definitely be back, the food looked amazing, and the tea - wow. Asked for a mint tea what she made for me was ExTrA, there was ginger, cinnamon sticks, star anise and fresh mint amazing!

Conveniently located right in front of the bus stop, it's the perfect spot to start your day with a cup of morning coffee. The friendly staff always brighten your day, and the beautiful plants inside the café create a peaceful and calming vibe.

t was a wonderful experience! As a Turkish person, I absolutely loved the breakfast — it truly reminded me of the ones I’ve had back home. My brother tried the börek and we both agreed: you must try it with Turkish tea — the perfect duo! It felt just like a festive Bayram morning. The simit and everything else on the table were incredibly delicious. Thank you so much again for your warm hospitality!
