Book this experience!! For us, this was one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul! This is one of the best activities you can find in Istanbul in our opinion! Bunyamin was so kind and easy to talk with, and he has such an incredible coffee shop! Everything was amazing and we laughed a lot, we are so thankful for the lesson and will be making Turkish coffee at home now.

Highly suggested as an experience! We had a great experience in the workshop!The place was lovely and it was a great opportunity to learn more about the culture by talking with Bunyamin. The process was lovely and it will be a memory we will always cherish in our hearts!Thank you Bunyamin for also showing us how to reach to the airport. ☺️

It was a nice experience to create a turkish mosaik lamp. We had a big sortiment of colorful mosaikpieces. Besides that, the cafeshop which was inside the workshop was a hidden Gem! I can highly recomend that activity to make new friends and new lamps :)

Hey everybody, this workshop is the best you can do in Istanbul! Honestly your host will be the friendliest, coolest and most professional airbnb experiences guy you will ever meet. We are so thankful and made a lot of new friends. Do yourself something good and just do it!

It was an excellent experience, Bunyamin was very attentive and had great communication

Bunyamin created a wonderful experience you should not miss when you come to Istanbul and would like to do something a little more creative!He even picked me up from the European side and then invited me into his workshop where I felt warmly welcomed! He gave a very nice introduction into mosaics and then I had plenty of time to create my lamp design. He always gave advice when needed and offered plenty of tea, which I almost forgot because I zoned out! I really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it for individuals and groups alike! I'm looking forward to trying another experience with him!Teşekkür ederim for having me.

Echt süße Menschen! Alle haben sich echt viel Mühe gegeben uns die beste Erfahrung erleben zu lassen und wir konnten uns schön viel Zeit lassen. Preis Leistungsträger Verhältnis ist top und der Preis für das Workshop auch berechtigt :)Würde es jeden aus Herzen empfehlen ♥️

Bunyamin was super communicative and helpful as we booked our experience and we really enjoyed getting to know him. The location of the experience is really neat. Overall we enjoyed the experience. My suggestion to Bunyamin is to let your guests drink more coffee during the experience! I think most people who want to learn about coffee like to be fairly caffeinated :).

What a great host, Ben was so thoughtful as to meet us near our location to escort us to the venue, a super, buzzing cafe atmosphere where, within our own private area, he guided us through the history and process of this activity, the creation of a super mosaic glass lamp to take home with us! Such fun, good company and lots of tea and Turkish coffee to help us along, a really super activity and Ben is such a knowledgable, friendly host, thoroughly recommend

Bunyamin was a fantastic instructor and host. He played awesome music and talked to us a lot. We were able to ask him all those questions we have when visiting another place, especially one so different from our own. Other than that, the material available was great and high quality - he's the one that cuts the glasses we use! We were also offered tea and a delicious coffee. We did it as a (late) Valentine's day date and now we have two gorgeous lamps to decorate our house with, plus all the nice memories from the workshop. Highly recommend this experience!

Such a great experience, and I recommend starting your journey here! Seriously beautiful spot and wonderful storytelling.

Our experience was incredible! Our guide, Ali, went above and beyond. He picked us up in Fatih and whisked us away to his workshop. He was incredibly attentive throughout the class, ensuring our lamps were perfect and dried quickly so we could catch our evening flight. This was hands-down the highlight of our trip to Istanbul. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this class – it's a must-do for anyone visiting the city!

It was interesting to learn to make Turkish coffee

Loved the experience! Bunyamin was super helpful and friendly, and he even accommodated the experience due to last minute delays. Totally recommend it. It was also a very fun experience for all the family, adults and kid :)

Very nice and interesting

I would say this is a must-do while in Istanbul! I'm so glad I signed up because I learned just how much coffee plays a role in Turkish culture. There's a reason why Turkish coffee and culture was named on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Plus Bunyamin teaches you how to make coffee like his grandmother and you get your own coffee making kit to take home! The coffee fortune telling was a fun bonus to this experience. The entire workshop is so thoughtfully delivered and the host goes above and beyond in making sure you always have something to drink and are comfortable.

Amazing experience! È stato bello imparare a creare la propria lampada! C’era tutto a disposizione, location molto affascinante! Una bella creazione con le proprie mani! Host fantastico, gentile, disponibile e ci ha consigliato ottimi posti per mangiare! Grazie

Great experience! Really enjoyed the presentation & coffee

Amazing experience. Bunyamin is knowledgable and warm-hearted. He shared a lot about Turkish coffee. I met great people from all over the world. That's a memory you wanna have.

Nice coming together around Great Coffee! The host was really good and passionate about the topic. The various Turkish coffees we tasted were fantastic!

Turkish Coffee Making work shop is must when u are in Istanbul..it's Not just about Coffee but is more about the culture n history.Mustafa was a great Barista/Teacher he knew his stuff well,me and my wife enjoyed the whole process..not to forget the fortune telling too.Highly recommended!!

Von Beginn bis zum Ende, habe ich mich sehr willkommen gefühlt. Bunyamin kümmert sich um dich nicht nur wie ein Kunde sondern wie ein Freund, der dir seine Kultur und Sicht der Dinge erklären möchte. Ich habe mich selten so wohl gefühlt in einer Umgebung und habe dazu auch noch eine wunderschöne Lampe bekommen, die ich selbst gemacht habe. Ich kann jedem diese Entdeckung wärmstens empfehlen.

I definitely recommend this experience. There was a nice environment. There were many beautiful color options and Bünyamin helped us while choosing. Everything was very well organized and we designed our lamp very easily. After everything was finished, they offered us tea and we waited for it to dry. I’ve made not only an experience, but also a friend. Thank you for everything.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with the warm hospitality and genuine insights into Istanbul's cultural vibe. The workshop took place in a cozy and authentic coffee shop, which created a friendly and comfortable atmosphere that boosted our creativity. With the tips and tricks the host has guided us with, I could immerse in the beauty and artistry of making traditional Turkish mosaic lamp with full on inspiration. This airbnb experience was a truly exceptional and beautiful way to feel the oriental vibe of the city and make a unique souvenir to take back home. Highly recommended!
