Nice if you've never had Turkish coffee before — the process and fortunetelling at the end are genuinely interesting. But it's a simple process, so if you already know the basics, it moves slowly. Would be much better paired with another Turkish-related activity (food tasting, market tour) to make it a fuller experience rather than one quick, simple activity on its own. Bottom line: worth it for beginners; bundle with something else if you want more out of the outing.
Petek does a great job of ensuring you know how to locate the class space. She walked us through the history of coffee and the important role it played in Turkish history and how it was shared with Europe. She made the knowledge sharing fun and engaging. I really enjoyed the class and my first self brewed Turkish coffee was delicious.
Great workshop experience - took about 1.5 hours. Hosts were excellent and provided great background on the history of coffee alongside the actual workshop itself.
Very educational! Our kind, patient, knowledgeable and experienced instructor was a pleasure to learn from.
Petek was such a wonderful teacher! She is a local, and knows so much about Istanbul, Turkey, and coffee. I learned so much from her, and she had such a wonderful personality. I would take this class again in a heartbeat. Perfect English, so kind, and very funny. 10/10 all day!
We did this activity as a family (mom, dad, and 2 kids) and absolutely loved it. We learned a lot about Turkish coffee, and the fortune telling was a very fun and entertaining group experience. Our instructor was engaging, kind, and welcoming. They even give you Turkish coffee cup and saucer set which looks very cute. This class was one of the highlights of our Istanbul trip, and I definitely recommend it! They offer other classes too, and you get a discount for booking more classes. I wish I would have known that sooner so I could’ve booked more classes with the same company. Overall a wonderful experience!
Guide was great, very informative! Loved the workshop! Plus we got goodies!
This was an awesome experience. If you love coffee you should do this workshop. You even leave with a little keepsake.
This was such a wonderful experience if you like coffee. Patek is a natural teacher and did a wonderful job explaining not only how to make it, but also the history behind the tradition. I highly recommend this coffee workshop. It was definitely a highlight of my trip!!
This experience was so fun! Petek was an amazing coffee guide and easy to talk to. She understood all of our questions and answered them well. The whole coffee making experience was so fun and it was, of course, delicious!
