Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop Reviews

Amazing experience with Mustafa! We met at the Sirkeci meeting point outside the Hafiz Mustafa promptly, before travelling across the Bosphorus to the Asian side at Uskudar which is a fantastic neighbourhood, full of independant, small family run businesses. It seemed like Istanbul's Art District which we were happy to stick around after our experience. Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time to answer questions throughout, made the experience fun as well as the whole team's hospitality throughout. The only negative (which is a very small one) is that the Glass Mosaic Workshop takes place on the table next to us and there was a particularly loud group where at times I couldn't hear Mustafa's presentation or guidance. Nonetheless I left with a big smile on my face (not just because of the strong coffee!) but learned something new and important with the skill of making a Traditional Turkish Coffee. Thank you Mustafa!

Fantastic teacher Mustafá and great environment.

Absolutely loved this – the venue and host were incredibly welcoming! Highly recommend!

Mustafa was a great host and made the whole experience very interactive and fun, great experience and would really recommend it as we learned so much! Thank you.

Amazing workshop with Mustafa! We learned so much about Turkey and its traditions, and got to understand how coffee is an important part of friendship. Recommend 100%. Thank you so much!

This was a five star experience in every way! Mustafa is just amazing with his kindness, knowledge, instruction, and hospitality. it's a coffee making workshop but I also learned so much about the history and culture of coffee! 100% would recommend in a group or solo! ♥️

Ήταν φανταστική εμπειρία μάθαμε ωραία πράγματα ,ο Μουσταφά ήταν άψογος ευγενεστατος υπομονετικός μας εξήγησε τα πάντα και είχαμε και τα δωράκια μας στο τέλος της δραστηριότητας

Мне очень понравился мастер-класс и его ведущий! Было много интересной информации про кофе, его историю и значимость для Турции, как его готовить правильно по-турецки и зачем дают стакан с водой к кофе. Спасибо!

Ali was an amazing instructor. He was kind, engaging, funny, and patient. We’d highly recommend going to this workshop. Plus, the kittens were an added bonus.

This workshop is one you don’t want to miss. Our guide, Aziz, had amazing energy, enthusiasm and character. Everything was beautifully organised, presented and ran smoothly. We are very thankful that we have this incredible memory to remember ☺️😊

Great experience from start to finish. Ali was informative and I cannot wait to take the knowledge I have gained back to my home country. It was a delight being able to be immersed into the Turkish culture and traditions. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting İstanbul.

The activity was amazing! He went through the history of coffee in Türkiye and spoke so much about how and why they drink coffee. I went with my 3 friends and we all said it had been the highlight of our trip. We laughed, drank coffee and learnt so much. Thank you ALI !!

beyond expectations, very informative and interesting

it was interesting and I really liked it . thank you

Super fun and interactive workshop about the exciting history, making-process and fortune telling myths of Turkish coffee! ☕️

El café está hermosisisismo un lugar muy acogedor y muy creativo. Los guías, quien fue por nosotros al punto de encuentro y quien dio la explicación histórica y del proceso fueron excelentes personas muy amables. Gran hospitalidad. Aprendimos muchísimo. El precio es bajo comparado con lo vivido 👍

It was excellent. Great way to learn about coffee. Aziz was brilliant with his knowledge and patience

I loved all the details, the care of our guide !! Ali, fantastic workshop. One of the best workshop that I made !

I promised my family an authentic Turkish coffee-making experience, and thanks to Aziz, I was able to keep my promise. Apart from learning how to make coffee, we were also informed about the historical events that led to the current culture and tradition of coffee consumption. Loved the way the workshop is designed. I would 10/10 recommend you to go for it, if you wish to experience the culture and tradition of Turkish coffee.

We LOVED this workshop, even more than we thought we would! It was interesting, fun, interactive, & tasty! Everyone was really nice, our instructor was awesome, the place is super cute/cozy, & the items used/take home gift were nice quality! DEFINITELY recommend :)

Aziz was a fantastic teacher. He was very charismatic and engaging in the lesson. I learnt a lot about Turkish culture and customs and it was really fun. The coffee making process was amazing and we also got to try different typical Turkish coffees. The gift at the end was beautiful. I definitely recommend this workshop anyone coming to Istanbul to learn more about the Turkish people but also have fun.

It was a great time in the company of good people. We have some interesting experience making Turkish coffee and are looking forward to putting it into practice at home.

Really informative and fun. Aziz are guide was nice, funny, and knowledgeable. The parting gift was a nice end to the activity.

What an excellent workshop with a brilliant host! Really fun, informative and relaxed.
