Una bellissima esperienza! La mia lampada sta benissimo nel mio salotto:) nessuno riesce a credere che l' ho fatta io!

This was a fantastic experience for me and my wife!Bunyamin is such a great storyteller. Combined with his knowledge of history, culture and his big hospitality it was one of the best afternoons on our long vacation. The atmosphere was so good and we felt that we, for a couple of hours, were friends with the rest of the group - people from all over the world, we had never seen before.Don’t miss out on Bunyamins guide into Turkish coffee and history if you are anywhere near Istanbul!!

I had a wonderful time at the coffee event! The coffee was delicious, and I appreciated the individualized attention and information about the history of Turkish coffee ne it’s tradition. I also had the pleasure of meeting some new friends and sharing lots of laughs. Thanks for hosting such an interesting and enjoyable event!

Sehr Toller Workshop. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Bünyamin war sehr geduldig. Außerdem habe ich tolle Leute kennengelernt und spannende Geschichten gehört.

A must do if you are in Istanbul. You learn how to make a mosaic lamp pattern and you get to do it yourself. I consider myself to have no artistic abilities but Bunyamin made it very easy and I had fun, as well as my family and kids.

Loved this experience! Started with a history of Turkish coffee, then ground some whole beans using a Turkish grinder, brewed coffee using a portable stove, and enjoyed different varieties. Finally, we learned how to read fortunes using coffee! Lots of fun and great for first timers who want to learn more about Turkish coffee.

Good coffee tour. Host is knowledgeable.

Bunyamin’s experience was extremely nice and adds great memories to our trip experience to Turkey! He’s a great and funny and caring host. He took great care of every guests and knowledge about the Turkish coffee! Would recommend to everyone that’s curious about Turkish coffee or just the local hospitality!!

My parents and I had a great time with Bünyamin at his cafe. Making our own lamps was one of the highlights of our Turkey trip. He was extremely personable and gave us some good recs for the Asian side of Istanbul (underrated, don’t miss it). Overall an awesome experience with a lifelong memory to show for it!

Such a cool experience in such a cool place! And a great souvenir to take home. Thank you, Benjamin and crepe! :)

Ben is such a great host! 😃 Very warm and kind. I definitely recommend everyone this experience, it was very fun and joyful!Great atmosphere & music ☺️! Delicious treats and coffee ☕️

So many glass colors and beads. We enjoyed it so much. The host was great. Even coffee and snacks were served. Excellent taste in music. Thank you so much.

Very good activity. I loved the place, we have a lot of differents colors to personalize our lamps and the host is really helpful. The music is also good!

Great experience, thanks to Benjamin 🤝

Many thanks to Bunyamin for an exciting journey into the world of Turkish coffee. With its history, customs and cooking secrets. All this is flavored with humor and at the end there was a little surprise. I recommend

Lovely experience! Bunyamin was super responsive in terms of communication and the whole experience was super well organised and arranged.

Really lovely and well thought out experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

Bunyamin’s workshop was so much fun, and a highlight of our trip to Istanbul. I emailed him in advance about bringing my five year old daughter and he was quick to respond that he would be delighted to have her join. He met us on time at the pickup location and our group took the metro to his shop. He was warm and welcoming throughout the whole workshop. Helping all of us and very sweet with my daughter as we all put together beautiful lamps. We meet the shop kitten, had coffee and made new friends with the other guests. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience! Bunyamin explained the history of Turkish coffee well. He was very friendly and patient with the guest, and he shared personal inside into Turkish daily life. Additionally the fortune telling was fun and engaging aspect of the experience. He gifted us a cup and cooper coffee pot to make Turkish coffee at home, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated.

This was a highlight of our Istanbul trip - instead of paying for a lamp in the bazaar, it was amazing to make your own custom design (even adapted for US voltage) and Bunyamin was so helpful and patient as we worked on them. Also it's worth visiting for quality time with Crepe the most adorable kitten in all of Istanbul, who watched us make lamps but also cuddled up for hugs. We loved meeting her.

Definitely a unique experience — learned a lot about the Turkish coffee culture! Benjamin was both engaging and informative, plus had such a fun imagination, which made for great fortune telling. ;) We loved all the flavors we got to try in this workshop too. We’re also happy to say we found a friend! Thank you again for accommodating our sched given the short time we had in Istanbul! :)

Fun experience, Bunyamin was an entertaining host and we learnt about the Turkish coffee style and history. The shop is lovely too.

We had such a nice time. Thank you Bunyamin!

expérience vraiment super ! Nous avons participé a 3 avec ma sœur et une amie. Le lieux du rdv étais facile à trouver du côté européen. Benjamin est sympthèque et avenant. l atelier est situé sur la rive asiatique (ce qui nous as permis de découvrir ce côté d istanbul), dans un petit cafe-restaurant à l ambiance très cosy. the et café sont offert ainsi que des petits gâteaux. on nous laisse vraiment le temps choisir mosaïque et motif, avec des petites recommandations pour les plus hésitants. Le résultat final es très jolie et est même exposé dans mon salon.globalement une expérience vraiment agréable er sympthèque pour ceux qui aime les travaux manuel, un rapport qualité prix tout à fait correct et un hôte sympatique, je recommande !
