Amazing experience! - Aleyna was amazing! She gave us a lot of information on the background of Turkish coffee and was a great teacher on how to prepare it! She also was an expert on the fortune telling part and helped each guest read their fortune. Super highly recommend you to take the 2 hours to do this workshop!

Insights into Turkish coffee culture - The host/instructor gave history, demonstration of techniques, information on engagement ceremony, and fortune telling information. I felt this was insightful to understand Turkish culture in a way I would have not experienced with a walking tour of historical sights. I would make this choice again if I had to do my trip over.

100% Must Do - This experience was absolutely fantastic. Our host Aleyna was so welcoming from the very second we walked in. The room itself was really well set up. The presentation on history of Turkish coffee and the traditions were so interesting. Made even better with all of the tools on had that we could touch and see. Making the coffee was so much fun and learning how to read the coffee grounds was so interesting. It’s also unbelievable value for money. An absolute must while in Istanbul.

A good experience overall. - The workshop was in an interesting building and room. The presenter was clear and easy to understand. She presented the history of coffee making and drinking in Turkey. I liked that she covered more than history and talked about how coffee is treated today. The fortune telling segment was less interesting and went on far too long. I think this could be shortened and something else take its place. For example we could have learned how Turkish delight is made and why its served with the coffee.
