Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop Reviews

What a wonderful experience! I have always been a bit nervous about Turkish Coffee as I thought it would be too strong for me to drink, but this experience has changed my mind! I have bought coffee to take home with me! the coffee making technique was explained & we received so much information. To top it, the venue was superb & the hospitality excellent! I would strongly recommend doing this! 🤗

Was amazing ... great hospitality and awesome experience !!!

What a fabulous way to experience Turkish culture! We really connected with our hosts and the friendly couple crom Canada. Together, we had a lot of laughs and an overall great afternoon. We will definitely recommend this workshop if you have some time on hand in Istanbul.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😄 we had the best time and learned so much! Such a beautiful way to spend the day.

This was a fascinating class hosted by the talented Bunyamin. He's able to give an excellent presentation, but also engage his audience with anecdotes and questions. If you have the time, I definitely would suggest Istanbul Workshops. It also will give you a chance to explore the Asian side of this beautiful city.The host was very communicative, punctual, and a great conversationalist. Thanks again!

Slow down your hectic travelling pace, and step in for a coffee….what a great way to spend an afternoon, learning about the history and significance of sharing, making and magical “truth” telling of Turkish coffee in a cool, setting. Bunyamin and team were fun, expressive and kind. A must do experience while visiting Istanbul.

We had a wonderful and interesting afternoon. We were even offered to meet together on the European side and drive to the meeting point on the Asian side. The workshop leader passionately told us about the tradition of Turkish coffee. We prepared Turkish coffee together and were also able to taste other types of coffee. At the end we were also introduced to the tradition of reading coffee grounds. All in all, a perfect experience that could not have been better. Incredibly friendly people who gave us tips for our trip to Istanbul, a goodie back with which we can now prepare our own Turkish coffee and afterwards we could relax with a coffee or tea in the beautiful garden of the café. The workshop was more than worth the money.

Great intro to Turkish coffee! Benyamin is extremely knowledgeable about Turkish coffee culture, brewing, and history. The experience is held in his wonderful coffee shop with a great atmosphere. The fortune telling piece was not as much of a focus as we had expected but still fun to discuss albeit briefly ☕️

The afternoon spent with Benyamin, sharing his family’s Turkish coffee culture and learning how to make it, was such a wonderful experience! Benyamin is the most generous host and storyteller. Thank you for making our coffee drinking experience such a memorable one!!!

Amazing workshop! It was informative, yet fun. We enjoyed so much with the storytelling and were presented with a thoughtful gift. Thank you Bunyamin!

Super informative hands on experience on history and how to make Turkish coffee. Clear instructions on how to meet up, depending on if you were located on the Asian or European side. Enjoyed the storytelling element and the cultural importance of Turkish coffee.

Super fun to learn to make coffee and make new friends

Очень классный опыт. Очень неожиданно было получить комплименты.

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.

A must do when your in Istanbul! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I strongly recommend this experience for anyone who’s curious about Turkish coffee culture. Had an amazing time and learned a lot!

Recommend!

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!

Amazing

Wonderful experience to learn about Turkish coffee culture and how it is made! Recommend to all who are visiting Istanbul.

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

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

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.

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.
