Lithops Botanik

About Lithops Botanik

Lithops Botanik is a coffee shop and eatery in the glass greenhouse area of Ankara Botanik Parkı in Çankaya. The café says it has brought the park's greenhouse, which it calls an important part of the city's green fabric and history, back to life after a long break. Alongside the café there is an area where plants are displayed and sold. The name comes from lithops plants, which the café describes as looking independent while feeding from the same root and growing together. In the same spirit it sets out to be a community space as well as a café, and it hosts seminars, talks and workshops led by professionals in different fields. The menu offers vegan and vegetarian options, with coffee served alongside healthy snacks. Oggusto's guide to the best coffee places in Ankara describes an inner courtyard surrounded by plants and a multi-level layout, lit by natural light during the day and taking on a more romantic mood in the evening, and notes that no reservation is needed. The café's Instagram profile gives its hours as 10:00 to 23:00 every day.
