Istanbul - where to buy ground coffee with cardamom?

DIYhelp76

Hi

Is anyone quite familiar with Istanbul and could say which main shops/supermarkets it would be possible to find bags of ground Turkish coffee with cardamom?  

A friend is in Turkey at the moment and wondering if they could bring us back a bag or two?  Have found it online and in specialist shops in the UK, but wondering if it might be cheaper/better in Turkey?

Any recommendations as to good brands would also be appreciated. 

Many thanks in advance.

As that is quite a specific and unique to Istanbul question, you may have better luck getting a response if you post your question on the Istanbul, Turkey forum over on Trip Advisor.

Ground coffee with cardamon is really an Arab 'thing' and of course Turkey is not an Arab country.

Turkish coffee is excellent, although not the same as Arab coffee, so you might simply ask your friend to go to a local shop and get what ordinary people seem to buy.

Tripadvisor would be the point of contact here as this is far too specialist for MSE and not frequented by many if any Turkish locals.
