I absolutely loved every minute of this workshop! I was so excited when I booked it and it didn’t disappoint. I made a beautiful mosaic lamp and met cool people from all kinds of backgrounds. Our host, Ali, was very friendly and knowledgable and guided us through the lamp making process. If you’re heading to istanbul, don’t miss out on this workshop! 10/10 recommend! :)

A wonderful, enchanting time with the family here. Don't know why it took me so long to book! Of course, there are plenty options for coffee-making and fortune-telling in Istanbul— but none with the same authenticity and thoughtfulness displayed here. The free cezve gifts, guides and pamphlets, the slideshow, the set-up and lovely venue? Can't get this anywhere else. Was magical, was hilarious, was seriously educational: all in one. Thanks for making our trip, Bunyamin!

Benjamin offered to meet up and guide me to his workshop which was so helpful. The space was cozy and his presentation was very informative. He was personable and we actually shared a wonderful lunch afterwards. Grateful for the new friendship and can’t wait to read my friends fortunes with my new Turkish coffee making set!

Benjamin is great! Fun and relaxing. Very low key to do if you like coffee and a quick experience.

Amazing experience, you should all try it the cost is affordable for everyone and gave you back such a the great value. Come on, who know when you will have another chance to be in Istanbul in a cozy location with coffee smell, learning about history of the Turkish coffee and fortune. 100% recommended

Cute cafe, fun experience

I did this experience with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed our time with Bunyamin and the other guests on the experience. Personally, I am not a huge coffee drinker but thoroughly enjoyed learning about Turkish coffee and its origins! We both enjoyed the atmosphere of the class which was held in an actual cafe, we don't remember her name, but she was a great assistant as it was her first time doing the coffee presentation. Both her and Bunyamin were very insightful, as well as helpful. We were treated to tea after and got to meet the cafe owner. We recommend this unique experience to anyone in Istanbul!

Very uniquely experience on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. We met at a nice little cafe and went through a detailed history lesson about Turkish coffee, its origins and the cultural significance etc. I got to make my own Turkish Coffee and read patterns of the grounds as locals would do. Benyamin was very friendly and professional throughout. I would highly recommend it to those who are interested in learning more about Turkish coffee.

Unique experience in Istanbul! It was really fun and interesting to learn about the history of Turkish coffee and how to make it. Hosts were amazing and made the history lesson engaging and it was good to hear about the Turkish traditions. Definitely recommend if you are in Istanbul

This is a great experience for anyone to who wants to learn the authentic way of brewing Turkish coffee along with learning a bit about the history/culture. The host was very attentive and he made the entire experience even better by sharing some of his own grand mother's trick on brewing as well.

Lovely and wonderful experience. I learned a lot of new things I did it know before. Amazing host and lovely gift

Great experience and something that I can carry with me for a long timeEven inspired me to buy myself a set for myself and guests in the future

we had a great time learning about Turkish coffee, its history and traditions. we learned how to make it and how to tell fortunes after the coffee is finished. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend the experience to all who want to learn more about Turkish coffee

Definitely worth it, especially if you have never tried coffee fortunetelling. It happens in a very artsy place, with a great host.

We attended this workshop with my mother and were extremely pleased. Firstly, a very good organization, taking into account which side of Istanbul tourists have accommodation on. Secondly, an incredible location where a workshop was held with an amazing atmosphere that allows you to feel and enjoy what is happening. Well, the most important thing is the narration and the conduct of the workshop. The team tells very interesting things about Turkish coffee, history and divination. The atmosphere is so friendly that during the process all the present participants become something more than just strangers gathered for a workshop. We definitely recommend this experience for everybody who wants to get acquainted with the Turkish culture a bit more

excellent location, presentation, last minute booking so the communication was awesome. I would recommend this course.

Bunyamin war sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Er erklärte alles genau, beantwortete all unsere Fragen und zeigte uns eine interessante Präsentation über den türkischen Kaffee. Das Herstellen des eigenen Kaffees war sehr spannend.

This was a great experience hosted by Bunyamin. Totally recommend others to do it as well :)

I highly recommend this experience! It's a fun way to learn more about turkish culture and have a great coffee-aftertaste :) Bunyamin is an amazing host, he gave us some useful tipps in Istanbul and made our time even more magical. Awesome location and cute little presents that you can bring back home - perfect combination!

This was a great experience. It is a fun way to meet new people and learn the rich history/culture behind Turkish coffee, and the location is great. We (family of four) highly recommend it!

Beside learning a new skill, the whole experience was just authentic and real. It also enlightened us on the history of Turkish coffee making. The coffee shop and it’s location on the Asian side of Istanbul was quite special. Bunyamin was kind and intuitive and just a very dear person. I highly recommend this experience.

Excellent experience organised by Benjamin and the team - would highly recommend!

Bunyamin and Ali were excellent hosts for this experience. As a coffee lover, it was really exciting to learn more about the history of Turkish coffee and experience making it. The coffee itself was also really amazing!

Great storytelling. Great coffee. Thanks Bunyamin and Ali for an amazing afternoon.
