Haura Coffee & Lounge

Black Sea Coast


Haura is Rize's hip haven for barista coffees, fresh squeezed juices and fruity hookahs. The main space is an open rooftop terrace that twinkles with strings of fairly lights at night. The menu comes on iPad and the TV screens selfies that customers post to social media.

Entry is on Atatürk Caddesi but the terrace looks down onto Cumhuriyet Caddesi, from which there's a stairway.
