I came here exclusively to try out Coffee tasseography, which is a "fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in coffee grounds". In Turkey is very common to do this using a the coffee cup. My friends recommended me this place because it was close to where I was staying and the lady who does the reading can speak English (she also speaks Russian, French and Iranian).
The process is: you sit down and order a regular cup of Turkish coffee. You drink it all up until you reach the little muddy part on the bottom. After that you turn the cup upside down on the top of the saucer and gently shake it making a wish or asking a question. Now you wait until it's cold and then you let the server know when it's ready.
All the readers are located on the top floor. When I came there were three people doing fortune telling. The lady who attended me was very nice, she smiled a lot and only asked my name and my age. I'm not sure how much I believe in it but I can tell you she was pretty good in guessing very specific things about my life, this experience had a big impact on me.
Price of it was 30 Turkish Lira, which is something like 9 euro.
