Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop Reviews

Bunyamin was a really sweet and funny host, who gave a thoughtful and interesting history on coffee in Turkey. It was interesting to hear all about Turkish coffee culture and hear his stories. The fortune telling workshop was funny and a nice way to interact with other guests by reading each other's fortunes.

Me and my friend has a wonderful time finding out about the history of Turkish coffee. We were so pleasantly surprised by the different coffees. And the fortune telling was great fun. Would recommend!

A wonderful experience for a group of friends. Bunyamin was a friendly and professional host. A great combination of informative, practical, and fun workshop.

We did the coffee making and fortune telling workshop with bunyamin. While we appreciate the small gifts the host presented we were very disappointed at the presentation. The presentation was super long and not engaging at all. The materials were stretched over one hour but it was really 15 minutes worth of material. The experience was only 1.5 hours (not 2hours as advertised). There was no fortune telling and they asked us to do it ourselves. The coffee making part was less than 5 minutes and the rest of it was boring presentations and random YouTube videos. We are extremely dissatisfied and think the description was very misleading.

Loved this workshop! Bunyamin was such a knowledgable and engaging host, especially in relating the coffee making/fortune telling to his own family experience.

This was such a great experience. Bunyamin is the perfect host, going over the history of Turkish coffee and then you get to try your hand at it. Not only did we make some friends but also got to to take home a goody bag

Bunyamin’s workshop is such an incredible experience that not only incorporates a unique history of Turkish coffee but also his included his personalized family story. It was so much fun and we were able to make new friends over turkish coffee and delights :) I definitely recommend this experience and the ability to be in a comfortable and fun atmosphere.

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!

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.

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!

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!!

The traditional Turkish coffee making workshop provided a unique insight into the cultural significance of coffee in Turkish society, as well as the art of preparing and serving this worldwide beloved beverage. The time flew away ! Biggest thanks and eyvallah to our instructor and Fabri team!

All the recommendations for this traditional Turkish coffee making experience! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enhanced the sensory experience, making me feel relaxed and like at home. I especially enjoyed and laughed a lot in the last chapter of the workshop - future telling from the little tiny Turkish cup! It was awesome!

I love learning the history of how these iconic country items start and this did not disappoint! We had a very fun time learning and making our own Turkish Coffee and even walked away with a goodie bag to take home to make our own!

What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this on your next trip to Istanbul! Not only was Bunyamin kind and thoughtful, he had great stories, and we learned so much. The café is warm and inviting, and the added bonus of the Turkish coffee making kit was wonderful. And if you’re lucky, you will get to meet one of the cutest kittens in all the land, whose name is Crêpe. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!

This experience has been one of the best I have participated I recommend 100% to everyone. Don’t even think about it just book it. I went for the coffee but stay for the conversations. First of all Bunyamin met me close to my accommodation so, I wouldn’t get lost to the coffee shop. This was so important for me because it was my first time in Istanbul. Learning how to make Turkish coffee was more than just the coffee, it was a ritual and culture. Bunyamin shared many stories about his family and culture which made me feel very comfortable. After drinking the coffee and doing to fortune reading I was allowed to make my own coffee in the coffee shop, which was a great experience. The coffee shop where the workshop takes place is very cozy and welcoming. I had the opportunity to meet cool people and learn more and the culture.

Bunyamin was great, the class was well organized, super engaging, and educational. we had great conversation and getting to have the coffee and then take home a coffee set was such a good value. Definitely recommend!

If you enjoy coffee and/or want to learn about Turkish culture, I highly recommend. It's more about the history of coffee and making coffee than the fortune telling but it's an enjoyable way to spend a few hours, great learning how to make Turkish coffee properly, and Bunyamin is a fantastic host! Also a really cute cat lives in the cafe.

We had a great time making friends and coffee. Ben will explain the history of coffee, the customs and culture, and how to make it as well as do the fortune telling. There's a slideshow, coffee shop, and of course you get your very own set to make some coffee and predict the future of your guests! I recommend it because it's hard to find information on this kind of stuff, and Ben is very accommodating!

Turquía tiene mucho que ofrecer y sin duda esta experiencia la súper recomiendo para aprender sobre la cultura turca al tomar café y como se prepara un café turco. El servicio de los chicos es estupendo, muy atentos y amables en todo momento. Más que una experiencia, me quedo con un nuevo amigo como Benjamin.Excellent way to get to know the Turkish coffee culture! Benjamin is a great host and very professional. I totally recommend doing this activity because of the experience of learning something new and because of Benjamin and his partner! Both of them were amazing and very kind with us!

A+ experience. I had Ali Furkhan leading the class. He promptly picked us up at the location and provided a mini tour on the way to the coffee class. The actual class was a great introduction to coffee culture and the societal significance of coffee. Overall was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Istanbul. Good conversation and coffee what’s not to love!

This experience is the perfect combination of history, information and action. We were made to feel so welcome by everyone and had such a great time learning about Turkish history and culture over a delicious Turkish coffee. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul. It was a great way to start our time here.

Bunyamin and his team are thoughtful and made the experience interactive and fun! We got to learn not just how to make the coffee, but also the historical, cultural and social significance of coffee in Turkish culture. Would really recommend!

This was such an amazing and eye opening experience! We got to travel to the Asian side and made Turkish coffee in a cute coffee shop. The hosts even gifted us a Turkish coffee making set! Definitely a 5 star experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
