Near Galata Tower, learn the complete Turkish coffee ritual from bean to cup. Select your coffee beans and grind them by hand in a traditional mill. Then brew your coffee slowly on hot sand in a copper cezve, watching the foam rise just right.

After enjoying your coffee, close the cup and learn Turkish fortune telling. Your instructor teaches you how to read the symbols and patterns, a fun tradition that has been part of Turkish culture for centuries.

Instructors guide you in Turkish, English, or Russian. Fresh Turkish tea and Turkish delight served throughout. You will also taste caffeine-free Menengiç coffee, a unique nutty Turkish beverage.

Take home your handmade coffee set, coffee package, and recipe booklet. Sessions daily 08:00 to 23:00. All ages welcome. Groups up to 250.

Review for: Turkish Coffee Making on Sand Workshop & Fortune Telling in Istanbul

We arrived a bit earlier than scheduled and were served Turkish tea while waiting, which was such a nice touch. To our surprise, it ended up being just the 2 of us in the workshop! It felt like a private, relaxed session. shout out to Rustam for patiently answering all our questions (we had many lol), while Hussein also joined us. Although it was meant to be 2 hours, we stayed almost 2.5 hours because we were having so much fun. We learned about Turkish coffee history, ground the beans ourselves, tried pistachio coffee (so good I bought some to bring home!), and even enjoyed the fortune-telling session. We also received a small souvenir, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a warm and memorable experience in Istanbul! PS: Rustam, don’t overwork yourself! ⭐️

llham was a great and engaging teacher! We made a cup of Turkish coffee and learned how to read the coffee grounds — such a fun and unique experience. At the end, we even got a small bag of coffee and a cup as a gift. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend this more! It was such an amazing experience, making the coffee and hearing the stories from Zehra was a lot of fun and a great memory, plus we learned a lot about coffee history in general and Turkish coffee culture. The reading at the end couldn't have been more entertaining and so impressive. Do this if you have the chance, i promise it's worth it.

Learning how to make Turkish coffee was so interesting! The part of boiling the coffee in the hot sand was very satisfying.

Kaya is the the best. She holds the lecture in the BEST way. I think this company should give her a raise. the crazy part is the fortune telling part, she tells a very good background of all of us. but I will suggest if she can offer us suggestion on life would be better. but totally understand that it will then takes too long. so all in all I give this course 100 marks! and I love it. please join it and do it will fortune telling part. you will be amazed!
