The staff is the best and it a very relaxing place,loved it and enjoyed the time.
Had lots of fun learning, working, tasting, having good conversation in a nice private environment.
Classes are 4 people at a time. Very friendly and personal attention is given to everyone.
It was a very cool experience. However, the cost was ridiculously high. Could have gone to a restaurant and had an entire Turkish meal and coffee for the price. Spent $49 for 2 cups of coffee and 1 piece of Turkish delight makes me feel like a fool. Fb can suck you into anything.
Careful that you actually get the lamp and not some glass jar.
Absolutely wonderful experience!
I went with my mom and my friend, all of us enjoyed it. The instructor was very nice and has a passion for what he does. The history lesson was really interesting and the coffee was delicious (especially the hazelnut)!
This was a wonderful experience as Ayla was a great teacher and so down to earth.
The Turkish Coffee class in Warwick was so much fun and educational. My friend and I love coffee. We were greeted and make comfortable even though we arrived late. The instructor was very friendly and personable. He showed us how to brew the Turkish coffee in hot sand! that was so incredible. Who knew you could brew coffee in the sand? Then it was our turn. We were a little nervous at first. We had to balance the right amount of heat around the copper pots. We were able to try a few different kinds of coffee which was so delicious. I recommend this class to anyone who loves coffee or just wants to do something fun.
The Turkish Coffee on the Sand class was fantastic. We had delicious coffee in a relaxed social setting. And we learned an interesting coffee-making technique as well as a bit about Turkish culture.
Class was conducted at a large table with ample room for the participants. From every seat, you could observe the instructor as he demonstrated the technique. Several kinds of coffee were available to use - a standard Turkish coffee and two specialty variations incorporating different spices and ingredients.
The demonstration was fairly brief, allowing most of the class time for participants to try making coffee. Each of us was able to try at least several times, so everyone had plenty of opportunities to practice not burning the coffee and try different styles.
When not actively making coffee, the participants were socially chatting, enjoying the coffee they'd brewed for themselves and noshing on an assortment of Turkish Delight provided by the instructor.
The atmosphere was relaxed and congenial, and we had a lot of fun.
I'm looking forward to the next class I take.
Staff were wonderful and very knowledgeable. I was able to learn a lot. The experience was great and loved the hands on aspect!
