Davinci Cafe, a board game store with over a decade of history, is a beacon for its enthusiasts. With locations in Bahcelievler and the newer addition in Cukurambar, Davinci Cafe has become a place of fun-filled gatherings and an extensive board game collection exploration.

Approaching the Cukurambar Store, the vibrant atmosphere is evident. The laughter of the people and the excitement arise from within, offering a glimpse of the fun awaiting inside. The store’s layout enhances the overall experience with its abundance of free space, allowing groups to immerse themselves in their games by providing a personal space.What distinguishes Davinci Cafe is its commitment to inclusivity. The staff assists seasoned players and newcomers, guiding them through game rules. 

The flexibility to order food from outside adds convenience, considering the average stay time of the board game enthusiasts here is longer than other types of cafes. But that being said, you might not need to look elsewhere for food, considering that the cafe’s culinary options are more than enough to satisfy any customer. In essence, Davinci Cafe is not just a board game cafe but a community hub. Having hosted dozens of game events and competitions in the past just adds more value to its name.

                                                                            -Rakunn Cafe-

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For those who missed it while meandering through the endless alleys of Bahçeli, Rakunn Cafe provides a cozy setting in which to spend the entire day with your companions! forgetting about the day’s difficulties as well. When you visit and enter the tiny door of this cafe, you will see that it is larger than you would have imagined. It is a whole new world filled with many games, including popular ones like metropol, taboo, and flash as well as many other card games that you can play in the areas specifically made for playing those games for hours on end. Okey and tavla are other traditional Turkish games that may be rather addicting for those who enjoy them in this place. However, we should warn you about a problem, which is you might end up spending your whole day in this place. 

Of course, we must include the food and beverages while discussing a location where you may spend hours playing games! The menu of Rakunn Cafe is extensive and focuses mostly on desserts, homemade pizza, toasts, sandwiches, burgers, and other fast food items. It also offers a variety of tea and coffee options. Oralet, a Turkish tea-like beverage, is another delicious flavor you may enjoy for hours because it’s available for a little fee between 12 and 18 p.m. How beautiful is it given the current economic climate?
​Since the main idea behind our café is to provide a cozy space for individuals to spend time with their loved ones, we recommend visiting during the winter months when the temperature is cool. The atmosphere of the café is echoed by the employers, who are also quite friendly and smiling.​
