Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop Reviews

Better information about where everything will happen. How long the workshop will take but everything elee was very good.

ガイドの方に親切に教えて頂きました。 2名と少人数でのワークショップでした。 コーヒーの歴史やら特徴なども教えて頂きました。

Great experience! Kubra was a fantastic guide. The pickup location was easy and convenient, and we learnt a lot about Turkish coffee. Highly recommend this workshop!

I like it，really interesting experience！！

what i lovely experience! joyful, informative, relaxing. Cool space, great location to explore the surroundings afterwards. We thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and would highly recommend it!!

Расстроило, что место встречи указано одно, а после покупки приходит сообщение, что это место встречи с проводником, который ещё должен будет отвезти нас организовано на азиатскую сторону, и соответсвенно, это ещё плюс 30 минут туда и 30 минут обратно. Обратно, кстати, самим приходится как-то добираться.

It was a cozy, surprisingly fun break from typical sightseeing. The instructor, Ilham, guided us step by step as we chose our colors and tried the basic tufting techniques. It was fun to laugh over our first crooked rows, and by the end we had small pieces that actually felt like real souvenirs we had made together. Overall, it was calm, intimate, and creative and one of those activities that makes you feel more connected to each other and to the local culture at the same time. If we are ever back in Istanbul, we will be sure to come back and try our luck with some more intricate designs.

A lot of good history about coffee and Turkey

The location posted is not true. The workshop actually takes place near the üsküdar ferry port. Other than that I can't recommend this activity high enough. The workshop was super engaging and the guid was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Moment incroyable je recommande chaleureusement

Everything was well arranged for foreign visitors like us, from metro pickup to coffee history presentation, especially the Turkish coffee brewing in the end ! What a wonder ! What we have experienced was not only the history in a dose but taking a bite of slow coffee life in Turkish culture. We enjoyed a great time with a crew of thoughtful people who knew how to satisfy their clients. Thank you for everything and any efforts made in this activity. We do appreciate our guide for her knowledge and kindness. We highly recommend it. :)

Great experience! Our tutor I dare to say, since she taught us so much, was amazing! I highly recommend this experience

Wonderful experience, recommend it to every coffee lover :)

I’ve Had a great time! This amazing experience gave me a lot of info regarding coffee culture and I met amazing people there! Definitely recommend!

Genial, super amable y detallista, fue una experiencia estupenda!! 10/10, muy recomendable

I loved that we learned the history behind Turkish coffee.

Mehmet was a superb, friendly and funny host. His knowledge of coffee and how it ties in with Turkish and ottoman history and culture is extensive, and he makes it accessible and understandable. My girlfriend and I went for her birthday, so I would highly recommend it as a birthday activity if you happen to be in Istanbul for it! The rest of the staff are also very friendly and polite, and will welcome you with open arms. Also there are cats… of course!

Mahmet was incredible!! We loved this class. The highlight of our trip so far. So fun and informative with a wonderful gift bag!

Fantastic experience,

We really enjoyed this activity. Everything was explained well, it was super interesting and very fun! Highly recommend. Thank you!

I highly recommend this activity to all coffee lovers! Very informative explanations and a nice kit at the end to make your own cup of Turkish coffee at home :)

Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee? Mehmet was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about its history and culture. I loved learning that mocha comes from the Yemeni city of Mukha, and hearing about the rich history of coffee trading in Turkey. The fortune-telling ritual and the process of making coffee were especially memorable. I don’t even drink coffee—but simply being there made me feel part of Turkish life.
