Amazing time with Samira! - 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!

Samira was great ! - 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.

Smartbox theft and scam - Unable to book a paid box 199.90€. After a 20-minute wait on a paid line 0890430170, a robot returns you outright. It's organized robbery.
