Vefa Bozacısı

Established in 1876, this cafe specializes in boza, a ferment of bulgur wheat with a sweetish tart taste. A favourite of the Ottomans, it's still popular in the Balkans and Central Asia. It's less than 1% alcohol, but it was the closest you got to being off your head in Neolithic times.
