Highlights
Don’t just drink Turkish coffee — become part of the ritual.

Located between Galataport and Galata Tower, this experience brings together taste, storytelling, and local tradition in a warm atelier atmosphere. You’ll also discover the UNESCO-recognized Turkish coffee tradition, enjoy Turkish delight with your freshly brewed coffee, taste caffeine-free menengic coffee with its unique nutty flavor, and join a fun coffee cup reading ritual after your drink. Guided in English, Turkish, or Russian, this relaxed cultural experience is perfect for travelers who want more than a simple coffee tasting.

About Istanbul
Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, busy bazaars and ferries crossing between continents.
The historic peninsula holds the greatest landmarks. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome face each other in Sultanahmet, the Basilica Cistern lies beneath the streets, and Topkapı Palace spreads across the hill above the Golden Horn. A short walk away, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar have traded for centuries, and Süleymaniye Mosque, built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, crowns one of the city's seven hills.
Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
