We loved our mosaic lamp experience definitely one of our favourite things we did in Istanbul and so nice to have a lasting souvenir from our time away. would recommend to anyone for a few hours doing something different in the city

Bunyamin is a kind, welcoming host. He picked us up himself and took us to the cafe, while also giving us little tidbits of information about the city. The cafe is adorable, and the best part is Bunyamin guides you, but also lets you do your own thing. He is extremely thoughtful, from giving us the right kind of adapter for our lamps based on location, to bubble wrapping them for us. This experience is highly recommended!

The coffee shop was a vibe. The tea and coffee was very good. The cats were adorable. The lamp making was a lot of fun. The guide was very helpful and caring. I wish I could do it again

This experience was so much fun and more in-depth about the history of coffee in Turkey than I expected! Also Bunyamin is super awesome!

A really fun and interesting experience, Bunyamin was a lovely host - really friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee was delicious and we got some lovely cups and coffee pots to take home. I would really recommend this experience!

Great class on a Turkish coffee with thoughtful touches. He was great with learning everyone’s names, getting the group engaged and talking while delivering the material. Got more than I expected and was able to taste several new styles of coffees I’ve never had before.

Bunyamin is an excellent storyteller and really takes the time to go through the whole journey and history of coffee with a bit of humour and many facts. The coffees themselves were absolutely delicious and I love showing my fortune-telling skills to friends and family; they get such a kick from it! !00% worth every penny!

Amazing experience!

Excellente expérience ! Benjamin est très sympa et nous a bien accueilli ! L’activité est très sympa, nous sommes ravis de pouvoir repartir chez nous avec notre création ! Merci encore pour ce souvenir 😊😊

Bünyamin is passionate about Turkish coffee and his family’s experience around it. He presented the information in a personalized and organized way that made it fun! The hands on making of the coffee and fortune telling were excellent. Then you leave with a set to brew your own at homeless! What could be better! I highly recommend this experience for anyone. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful and unique experience in Istanbul! Highly reccomended

It was a great experience!

You must experience this workshop. Bunyamin explains the art of making turkish coffee really well. The studio and the cafe are very tastefully designed as well.

It’s a fun experience, benjamin is a really nice storyteller and knows a lot about turkish coffee culture. It was equal parts informative and casual. We loved the experience!

Highly recommended especially to those who stayed at the Asian side! Its just 3mins walk to reach to the venue by Marmaray and alight at Uskudar station. The pace was just nice for all of us with detailed instruction. All of us didnt realise 3hrs had passed. How time flies. Its definitely a wonderful experience to those who dream to have your very own personalised turkish lamp made by yourself. Tessekuler Bunyamin for the wonderful experience yesterday!

Our host was really kind and took the time to give us a detailed history on how Turkish coffee came to be. Really enjoyed it and made new friends!

It was an amazing experience.

What a fun way to spend a few hours in Istanbul! Bunyamin was so kind and courteous from start to finish. I was on the European side, and Bunyamin met up with me and other participants near Sirkeci station to take us across to the Asian side—that was really cool and you don't always see hosts go the extra mile to welcome you like that. The cafe itself was very cosy and evidently popular with locals. The cats and kittens at the cafe are a real highlight, and I'll always cherish the memory of making a lantern with a kitten napping away on my lap, occasionally popping up to sniff or supervise my work. The workshop itself is fun, especially if you're interested in working with your hands. The mosaic templates make the process fairly straightforward, and Bunyamin is generous with his time, materials and help. I'm happy to have not just a beautiful keepsake from the workshop that I made by myself, but also the memories of the experience and the fun conversations with the others who took part. Thanks Bunyamin for a great time!

This was such a fun experience and Bunyamin is an awesome host! He is kind, patient and helpful, not just for the making of the lamp, but is happy to answer any questions you may have about Turkey. The space is easy to find and located in a cool little coffee. Best part is you get to leave with a beautiful handmade lamp! Coffee and cookies were an added delicious bonus, highly recommend!

This experience was so enjoyable and Bunyamin is a great host. The space is a super cool coffee shop in a neat neighborhood so even just getting there was enjoyable. Everything was organized and ready and Bunyamin explained and helped when needed but also gave space to just create. The lamp turned out so beautiful and anyone could make one. I highly recommend this experience to anyone

The experience is amazing and it will be fun to have something we made.

Very nice experience - Bunyamin shared many interesting facts about the history of coffee in Turkey, but also his personal coffee related memories. We learned how to make a coffee and also got a chance to taste some different specialty coffees at the place. We also got very nice gifts at the end!

This workshop was very informative. The presentation was thoughtful and the host was personable. Well structured and great coffee.

我是獨自參與這課程，由地鐵站到課程地點，不算太遠，沿途亦有不同店舖可逛或休息。咖啡店裝潢時尚，亦有自成一角的空間舉辦課程，感覺舒適。導師授課非常有趣幽默，沒有悶場，即使我單獨參加，亦覺得氣氛很好。知識層面上亦達到我的期望，是一個愉快的體驗。而課程最後，會派發一套工具沖煮土耳其咖啡及一張證書😂我回家後，也有用這套工具沖煮土耳其咖啡👍🏾
