Istambul: Oficina de Preparo de Café Turco na Areia e Leitura da Sorte

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! ⭐️

Ilham 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.

Aprender a hacer café turco fue muy interesante. La parte de hervir el café en la arena caliente fue muy satisfactoria.

Extremely great experience, the fortune telling part was exciting and to the point, coffee making experience was quite amazing too.

It's the best! The facilities are clean, spacious, and pleasant. The staff are also friendly and all speak English, which is great. Instructor Darren speaks softly and is excellent; thanks to him, I learned a lot about coffee ❤️

super enriching experience. facilitator spoke clear English and was very welcoming. the session had its own quaint charm to it and the location was easy to access. Extra brownie points for the souvenirs they provided

Atölyeyi çok sevdim. Eğer yerel bir deneyim yaşamak ve bölgenin kültürünü anlamak istiyorsanız, bu mutlaka yapılması gereken bir şey. Eğitmenimiz Ahmet harikaydı ve bize beceriyi öğretirken birçok ilginç hikaye paylaştı.

Overall, it was a great experience. We learned about the associated techniques and history. Our host, David, is a wonderful and very skilled person. It was a value-for-money experience and a must-try activity.

Kaya is the best. She conducts the lecture in the BEST way. I think this company should give her a raise. The amazing part is the fortune-telling segment; she provides a very good background for all of us. However, I would suggest that it would be even better if she could offer us life suggestions, but I totally understand that it would then take too long. So, all in all, I give this course 100 marks! And I love it. Please join it and do the fortune-telling part. You will be amazed!
