The crime drama from X-Files writer Vince Gilligan starred Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a brilliant but struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and decides to produce crystal methamphetamine to secure his family’s financial future. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign, Kosan made every Breaking Bad caffeine addict’s dreams come true. The baristas dress like Walt and Jesse, and there are beaker-drinks plus periodic-table decor to spare. It inspired the award-winning prequel Better Call Saul. Walter’s Coffee Roastery recently opened in Kadikoy, Istanbul and it is filled with staff members wearing yellow aprons and coveralls, just like they did on the show. (Walt Jr. would approve.). Customers can also get a sugar rush with a “blue meth” cupcake that could pass for Walter White’s signature product, sans the meth. Even the coffee roasters are designed to look like Walter’s chemical tanks. The first name for the cafe was Heisenberg Coffee and Roasting, inspired by White’s druglord alias. The cafe opened in March and has already hooked a stream of customers. We bet they’re regretting that decision now.
