Tarihi Tahmis Kahvesi

Tahmis means “the place where coffee is pounded.” In earlier times, coffee used to be pounded in large mortars made of walnut, with tools made of black stone or from the same wood. The Historic Tahmis Coffeehouse was commissioned by Mustafa Ağa, who was the Türkmen Ağa and Sancak Beyi, in order to generate income for the Tekke (Mevlevihane). Built in 1638, Tahmis Coffeehouse is a two-storey structure full of memories.
