100% recommend - This was a fantastic experience that I would recommend to my friends and family (and everyone else). I love Turkish coffee and signed up just to learn how to make it. However, I found the brief educational talk beforehand, and the fortune telling education after equally enjoyable. I'm still making Turkish coffee at least every week at home, almost 1 year since this experience. Thank you so much Aleyna - you were fantastic. Thank you so much for running this, even when it was only myself attending for the session.

Great Workshop with a Beautiful Host - Fatma was amazing! I truly enjoyed the Turkish coffee fortune telling workshop — it was one of the highlights of my solo trip. The session was both fun and insightful. Even though it’s all for enjoyment, some of the things she said surprisingly resonated with me. Definitely a unique and memorable experience!

Great way to learn about coffee and coffee culture - a must for everyone! - Fatima (maybe I mixed up the name?), did a great job explaining and teaching us how to make Turkish coffee. We enjoyed the event thoroughly, despite the winding way up to the classroom site. The coffee was great, the instructions were clear, and the fortune telling was a fun part of the experience (with a tie-in to coffee making). We'd initially been unsure about Turkish coffee, but this was because we had it poorly made, outside Turkey. Glad we took the class so we could enjoy Turkish coffee on the rest of our visit to Turkey. Definitely recommended for anyone who drinks coffee and enjoys the differences in coffee culture in varying countries. Price was right for this fun event. The only thing we did, for safety and better ventilation, was to open up the exterior windows while we had the stoves running for the 2-3 minutes when we were brewing up the coffee. There were a few small surprises that made the event a great part of our visit to Istanbul. Join Fatima for the fun!

Nice experience - I joined the Turkish coffee workshop.
Our instructor, Fatima(sorry if I miss her name) was very kind and explain the history of the Turkish and coffee very well.
She also saw my future with the coffee fortune telling seriously. Everything was a good memory in my trip in Turkey. I recommend her and this workshop!

I also enjoyed reading coffee - The day before, I was able to go without hesitation after being informed of the detailed location. At first, I showed her a ticket in Japanese, and she seemed to think it was for one person even though there were two there. The staff explained it carefully in English, and I enjoyed the coffee fortune telling. It was just a pity that the souvenir wasn't the boiling metal container I was expecting (you can buy it for 120TL).

We loved this class and... - We loved this class and learning more about Turkish culture through coffee! The fortune telling part was also fascinating due to Alayna’s creative readings. She really took her time with all of us to give us the full experience!

Fun evening - The class was laid-back, very informative, overall a great experience. You got to make your own Turkish coffee and the fortunetelling at the end was a nice added touch.
