Maslak roastery that calls itself Turkey's only Fair Trade-certified local coffee brand.

That certification covers coffee roasted since 2020 on a Loring Smartroast, with a cupping lab and a training bar on the same site. The brand's story draws on Sufi coffee rituals and on coffee's 16th-century arrival in Istanbul under Özdemir Pasha, the Ottoman governor of Yemen.

The roastery stands in the car park of Maslak's car-repair industrial zone, behind a red pole sign. Inside the double-height unit, the bar looks through a glass wall at the roaster, lit red under the words Round & Round & Round, with a DJ booth beside it and a steel mezzanine above. The brew bar offers V60, batch drip, and Turkish coffee, and glazing on one side opens onto a terrace of umbrellas.

The Whirl Roastery roasts its own beans. These are from its wider range, so not all may be served at this shop.
