This was a really well run experience. The planning was spot on they reached out in advance to check which area of Istanbul we’d be coming from and even arranged an escort from the European side if needed. The venue itself was lovely, and the instructor brought a lot of energy and insight. I genuinely had a great time and would definitely recommend it to others.

This coffee workshop offers a fascinating look into the history of Turkish coffee. You get to grind your own beans and prepare the coffee yourself. At the end, they provide you with a coffee maker, a cup, and a packet of coffee to take home. I highly recommend this experience.
