experience was excellent and highly recommend for people wanting to get a great introduction to Turkish culture and history via way of coffee.Fantastic experience, Bunyamin is a very personable and expert host/presenter. I really appreciated his easy style and his questions to understand our baseline understanding. The coffee workshop was a great mix of information, humor, and hands-on experience. We all liked the fact that the workshop covered a mix of Turkish coffee culture, fortune telling, and the actual making of the coffee: a unique experience.Bunyamin was an exceptional host! He met us promptly at our tram stop on the European side of Istanbul and helped us to navigate via the Metro to the Asian side of the city. His coffee shop and workspace were located in a great neighborhood that we also enjoyed exploring after our workshop. Our supplies for the class were prearraged and ready for us when we arrived. Bunyamin taught us the history and culture around coffee in Istanbul as we worked together to prepare our coffees. The fortune telling lesson was a fun perk of the class. The experience is the best and most long-lasting souvenir you could take with you from Istanbul...I definitely recommend booking with Bunyamin if you're planning a visit!Book this experience!! For us, this was one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul! This is one of the best activities you can find in Istanbul in our opinion! Bunyamin was so kind and easy to talk with, and he has such an incredible coffee shop! Everything was amazing and we laughed a lot, we are so thankful for the lesson and will be making Turkish coffee at home now.Bunyamin was super communicative and helpful as we booked our experience and we really enjoyed getting to know him. The location of the experience is really neat. Overall we enjoyed the experience. My suggestion to Bunyamin is to let your guests drink more coffee during the experience! I think most people who want to learn about coffee like to be fairly caffeinated :).Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop

Such a great experience, and I recommend starting your journey here! Seriously beautiful spot and wonderful storytelling.It was interesting to learn to make Turkish coffeeI would say this is a must-do while in Istanbul! I'm so glad I signed up because I learned just how much coffee plays a role in Turkish culture. There's a reason why Turkish coffee and culture was named on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Plus Bunyamin teaches you how to make coffee like his grandmother and you get your own coffee making kit to take home! The coffee fortune telling was a fun bonus to this experience. The entire workshop is so thoughtfully delivered and the host goes above and beyond in making sure you always have something to drink and are comfortable.Great experience! Really enjoyed the presentation & coffeeAmazing experience. Bunyamin is knowledgable and warm-hearted. He shared a lot about Turkish coffee. I met great people from all over the world. That's a memory you wanna have.Nice coming together around Great Coffee! The host was really good and passionate about the topic. The various Turkish coffees we tasted were fantastic!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!Absolutely love this experience. It was so much fun, we learned so much, Bunyamin was knowledgeable and used his personal experience to make the event more fun and personal. This was an experience my husband and I will cherish for years to come. I recommend to everyone coming to Istanbul!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!Ali did a fantastic job teaching us all about Turkish coffee history, culture, and how to make it!Awesome workshop in a very pleasant surroundings. Everything was provided and the event was quite engaging and interesting. In the end we even got a present 🎁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!This was such a fun class, and new experience for us first time visitors to Istanbul. I highly recommend travelers book this adventure as you begin to immerse yourself in the culture and history of Turkey.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!Excellent introduction to Turkish coffee making (and fortune telling) in a lovely space with knowledgeable and friendly guide. Great fun.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.Unique experience with perfect storytelling and nice gifts, thx for the host!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!A “must” experience if you are in Istanbul.Ben was amazing sharing his culture through this workshop; also it is awesome the way he answers your doubts and teaches you new facts related to the Turkish Coffee and the powerful meaning it has for the Turkish society.Benji主讲从容不尴尬，发自内心，真情实感，令人动容和思考，送了咖啡制作的工具，我回家后可以自己做咖啡gei喜欢的人喝，是有意义的活动We had a fantastic time! Benji was knowledgeable and friendly, we got to go to the Asia side of Istanbul (wouldn’t have gone otherwise), and learned lots about Turkish coffee and the culture around it. I loved it and immediately went and bought a coffee grinder to go with our Turkish sets we got at the experience. I’ve made coffee several times already using the equipment he gave us and have had a delightful time enjoying it. Definitely recommend and great value for the price.I took both the Turkish Coffee making and the Mosaic Lamp making workshops, and I would recommend to anyone, it's a must do when you're visiting Istanbul. Aziz and Ezma (I'm so sorry if I misspelled your name) were fantastic. The Turkish coffee and fortune telling workshop have an insightful background into the history of Turkish Coffee and the fortune telling portion was a very fun insight into Turkish culture itself. The Mosaic Turkish lamp class was very straightforward, you have a template and jars of colored glass and you just go for it. They were very patient with me even though I took a very long time with my project, which I was grateful for. 1000/10 would recommendGot a question? We're here to answer!

The session runs about ninety minutes from sit-down to leaving. Brewing takes around twenty, drinking and resting fifteen, and the cup reading another twenty. The rest is open time for second cups, photos, and questions.
You brew Turkish coffee on a cezve with us, drink it slowly, then we read the grounds. The price covers brewing materials, lokum and water, the guide for the full session, and a printed note of the reading.
