The experience has been amazing, Togrul, our “teacher” has been amazing too, he explained us everything in the best way possible and he made us feel very comfortable. The coffees were delicious and we taught a lot about the Turkish way of making coffee. I would truly recommend this experience!

A really interesting and enjoyable workshop. Ingkar was a gracious and kind host who was easy to chat with. Also a nice escape from the crowds!!!
Kalim_S, Aug 2026
Great workshop. But the most exciting but informative and the staff are great. We liked it so much we signed up to the perfume making workshop too. Combine the two together - it’ll be worth it. Prioritise the perfume but you can do a smaller coffee making workshop with it.

The coffee making experience is held in a sweet little, very well decorated room, with all the rugs and accoutrements displayed and organized. Very clean and really well done! Ingkar was my teacher, she did a great job extremely personable and knowledgeable. The reading of the coffee grinds fortunetelling at the end was super fun too.

Abdullah was amazing! We had a small group so it was more relaxed and we got to ask plenty of questions! Making the coffee was a great learning experience. We had so much fun and it was so different than other experiences when traveling. Highly recommend!

Bahur was wonderful. Very educational and we had a good conversation about everything including the fortune telling she read for me.
Larissa_H, May 2026
I did the coffee workshop with my friends and we had such a great time. We made ourselves coffee and we did fortune-telling. Bahar told us everything about coffee in Turkey.

We had an amazing time doing this Turkish coffee workshop. Samira was an absolute treat. We kind of lucked out, and it was just the two of us in this one workshop. She gave us such personalized attention, and we bonded over coffee, the world, and everything in between! Plus, we learned so much about the history of Turkish coffee and had a really fun time making our own. Highly recommend and ask for Samira if you can!
Elita_R, May 2026
What a great experience in Istanbul. Samira made learning how to make Turkish coffee fun. She was friendly and really sweet. I loved learning about cultural traditions (related to coffee). She did great engaging the small group. They were also able to accommodate a time change for me, which worked out great.

I had the best time here! When you enter the shop, you see they offer lots of different services + experiences. I joined for a Turkish coffee class and ended up having a solo session. My teacher, Esin, was so sweet and informative. She let me try different types of coffee, shared lots of history and technique for brewing, and overall was just so much fun to hang out with. My favourite part was the fortune telling part, where they read your grounds. The coffee was delish, and I loved learning about a more personal part of the culture. At the end, they even give you a goodie bag to try for yourself at home. This was such a fun workshop, and I’m especially grateful to have met Esin, she made the whole experience so comfortable and engaging.

Zeynep Was a great coffee guide. We had a good experience and laughed a lot. We would recommend this tour.
Bridget_T, Nov 2025
Zeyenep was fantastic. She did a great job of sharing the history of coffee and the cultural importance with a fun tutorial. She brought the group together and had such a great time. The location is in the middle of a cute neighborhood which was work checking out. Highly recommend.

Esin was great! Very knowledgeable, Funny and personable. The group was great, a mix of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. The fortune telling was interesting and spot on! Highly Recommend!!
Ellen_S, Oct 2025
A fun experience where you are being taught how to make Turkish coffee and subsequently have your 'fortune' told. Esin our host was thoroughly informative, fun and funny! Go with an open mind and take it with a pinch of salt/coffee ;-) and you'll have a blast.
Diane_C, Sep 2025

Christine_S, Sep 2025
Loved thjs experience so much! Our host was awesome, very friendly & informative, Making the Turkish coffee was really fun and immersive, then we got to drink the coffee & read our fortune in the cup which was a really great addition! Got a super cute little gift set to take home also - absolutely brilliant value for money.

Kamron was an absolute delight! He made the Turkish coffee making experience so much fun and truly delight. , The coffee was rich, aromatic, and prepared beautifully over the sand, it was not just a drink, but an experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting
Kendra_G, Sep 2025
Esin was our host and she was simply wonderful. We enjoyed learning about the coffee culture and making our own. Her fortune telling was a little freakishly real and totally made my eyes water. Such a fun morning activity. Thank you so much!
Margo_T, Aug 2025
Really fun for an afternoon! Got to spend time making the coffee and meeting other travelers. Especially after a long morning of touring would recommend.
Mariana_R, Aug 2025
Fantastic experience, Islam (the guy that taught us)
was very professional and informative when teaching us how to make Turkish coffee and told us a lot of information on how coffee was discovered and the traditions behind Turkish coffee, planning to go back to Istanbul in 2 years and will definitely do this workshop again
