Zamandan zamana kahvesının kapası açacaktı. Birisi anı rüzgarla içeri gelecekti.

when you want to use that construction with "zaman" you drop suffixes and say " zaman zaman " or alternatively "ara sıra" , "arada sırada"

Ah okay. I had not learned of "arada sırada" yet.  and I probably saw zaman repeated in the search but thought it had the same use as repeating words for emphasis such as yavaş yavaş, so I opted for using the suffixes. I presume then that "zaman zaman" will be understood in context for the phrase.

 Agree with tunci.

When translating phrases, you can´t do it literally, you have to use the phrase said in the target language for the same situation as the original language uses its phrase.

Although in English we say from time to time, the Turkish equivalent is just "time time" if you back translate it literally
