Amazing!! The Texas Coffee school provides invaluable information to help you get started in opening a coffeehouse. From Barista training to the business and operations side of the business, it’s truly a one stop shop. You get everything you need to get started and carry you through the process of opening your own shop. The team at Texas Coffee School lay the framework..they are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and put everything into perspective and streamline the whole process for you. Opening a new business can feel overwhelming, but after taking this course, I feel incredibly empowered, confident and focused on the steps ahead. Thank you!
Texas Coffee School met and exceeded my expectations. I took their three day coffee business course. My instructors had no qualms about correcting us to make sure we reach and maintain a high standard for quality drinks. We learned so much more than just tricks and marketing techniques we really did learn everything that it takes to open up a coffee business. This experience was worth every sent. It doesn’t matter what part of your journey you’re on, you could be starting a business you could be running it and the courses at Texas Coffee School would be absolutely invaluable to you and your coffee business.
Texas Coffee School is hands down the best coffee school. Other coffee shops and schools might teach you how to make an average cup of coffee, but not this school. Texas Coffee School teaches you the best possible methods for making specialty coffee drinks. And it doesnt stop there, they go through how to open a coffee shop step by step. From designing a concept to opening your doors and training your employees, this school covers every detail you need to know. There wasnt a word said that wasnt true and in the best interest of their students. They also teach you what it takes to stand apart from other coffee shops and be the best of the best. Thank you Texas Coffee Academy!
The Texas Coffee School is definitely worth the time and the financial investment. The energy was great and you literally get every single question you could possibly think of answered on paper to take home with you. So glad I took the time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I highly recommend this class for someone who is looking to be come a coffee shop owner. The research and the level of detail that they put into this program is second to none. They have sorted through and eliminated products that dont work and found the things that do work. They have done all the trial and error things that typical entrepreneurs lose a lot of money on when starting a business. Well worth the investment to attend the class and educate yourself before making decisions and moving forward.
I have to admit I was not sure of what coffee school involved when I signed up, however I knew a portion of what I needed to know and in my mind hoping to gain even more ... After reading the website and reviews, I signed myself up for Texas Coffee School.The first day I was blown away by the Integrity, knowledge and high standards they displayed to each student . Tom and Anna run a well oiled machine and your time is not wasted, I assure you !! When I left there I felt like I had been equipped with a good foundation of knowledge to be able to go crush the coffee industry and do it well!! I was more confident about starting this business and and I knew I could reach out to them at anytime if I needed to! Thank you for all the passion, time and effort you have put into Texas Coffee School ! :)
My 3-day training at Texas Coffee School exceeded my expectations. The course is minute, the team is passionate about what they do, and the program is so well designed that you will leave with literally everything you need to open a successful business (including the perfect motivational pep talk!). Cant recommend enough and cannot wait to apply everything Ive learned to open my own business in Connecticut. Thank you all!
So your going to start a coffee shop..??? Well TCS is paramount on your journey!! The information and knowledge gained was far beyond my expectations. I could not believe how in depth we went on equipment, business operations, purchases, coffee freshness, proper brewing, proper pulling of shots, PROPER everything! If you want your business to succeed and change the coffee game in your area, TCS is necessary! They go so in depth on day to day operations, managing funds, employees and so much more. Special shout out to Anna and Megan who were the most incredible teachers and so patient every step of the way!
Attending Texas Coffee School is the absolute best decision Ive made on my journey to opening a coffee shop! The information and hands on training you will receive is priceless. The instructors Tom and Anna sharereal life experiences to help you make informed decisions. The class material provided is your complete road map from concept to opening day. I can say enough great things about this program and the instructors. I highly recommend you attend if youre seriously thinking about opening your on shop. The cost of the class will save you thousands in the long run.
The 3-day coffee business master class is as advertised and more—a comprehensive, easy to understand class taught by actual masters.Tom and Anna are skilled lecturers, educators, and engaging storytellers. They provide you with the fundamentals, but deliver it in a profoundly impactful way that helps you focus on the bigger picture meant to position you for success.Being a green entrepreneur, there’s so much I’m anxious about. I feel so much more prepared for the journey ahead now. They’ll leave you wanting to run through a wall for them, but most importantly, for yourself, too.I have so much gratitude for everything Tom and Anna put into this class. Thank you both!
Texas Coffee School provides solid training that is proven in the industry. My wife and I attended the course a few months ago and have since been developing our business. As we have been, we have had the opportunity to glean from other businesses. We have learned that the information Texas Coffee School provides is accurate and in the right direction for success. We recommend that people who plan to open a coffee business attend the course.
Texas Coffee School was worth every penny my husband and I spent to attend. Tom and Anna offer invaluable knowledge that covers every area you could imagine about opening a coffee shop. They’re time efficient and experienced. I highly recommend taking this course if you’re considering opening a shop.
I am a former Green Beret and I did a lot of research online for starting my own coffee business. Texas Coffee School was one of the most recognized schools in the industry. After learning more about the course I decided to enroll. I had high expectations going into the course based on my research. Tom and Anna exceeded those expectations beyond measure. They are absolute professionals with great attitudes which make the course fun and theyve taken the time to prepare all the materials for you so all you have to do is listen and absorb the knowledge they share during each class. Their methods of presenting the materials as well as the hands on portions are the same proven techniques we utilized in Special Forces to ensure students understand and retain the information. I would have set myself up for failure if I tried to pursue my coffee dreams based solely on research Id done online. They will ensure you have all the tools necessary to be successful. Initially, I thought the price was a little high, but after attending I realize the course is a bargain for all the information they put out. Paying three times the amount would still be a discount. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in starting a coffee business as well as those already in the business so you can bring your shop to the next level. But if youre good with not being successful then you definitely shouldnt take the class.Thanks for everything Tom and Anna!
Tom and Anna are true pros!! If youre even considering opening a coffee shop take the 3 day course. This is the only program that tells you how it really is, the good, the bad, the ugly. Texas Coffee School give you a REAL idea of what its going to take to plan, build, open, and maintain a successful coffee shop. This is also one of the few programs where I feel that I got more than my moneys worth from it. The information and blue print that I took away from the TCS seems too far exceed the price of tuition. If you are looking for the truth about what it takes and you want to hear it from folks who really know their stuff, register. You will not regret it.
The team at Texas Coffee School were knowledgeable, helpful, and patient the setting is intimate and there is plenty of space to ask questions and get hands-on experience. Id recommend it to anyone thinking of opening a coffee shop,
I took the 3-day Coffee Business Master Class at Texas Coffee School and it absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. I am in the process of opening a cultural arts cafe and they provided an enormous amount of extremely valuable information. Whatever kind of training that you are looking for regarding coffee, this is the place to go.
This was a great experience! Anna and Tom gave great hands on presentations and throughly explained in detail what it takes to run a successful coffee business. Thanks Texas Coffee School!! I would highly recommend if you are looking to start a Coffee Business.
The team at Texas Coffee School is knowledgeable, fun and inspiring! I walked away with a new fire burning to move forward in my business and it created a framework for me to dream as well!
For all the classes that I have done to better myself over the years, this is by far the best and most fun Ive had for a school effort. I got more out of 3 days of this class that more than outweighs the cost. We had Anna for the majority of the lessons. She was very cool and easy-going. We loved working with her. And we also loved Tom, the owner of the organization. He had some great stories. As a business owner, I can attest that he knows what hes talking about. If you are interested in becoming a barista, this is the place to go.
I recently attend the Texas Coffee School and I can say it was worth my investment. I wanted to become better acquainted with the coffee shop business as I prepare to open one myself. The instruction and hands on experience were perfect. I highly recommend this school for startups and baristas as well. You will not be disappointed!
Texas Coffee School was great, I was worried about the business end of a coffee shop the owners part, they taught me everything I need to know from start to finish
The courses offered and the teaching were both outstanding. They left no stone unturned in their sharing of knowledge about this industry and owning a coffee shop.
More than a 5 Star.... Tom, you and all your travels, passions, and knowledge, have submerged yourself into those very passions and created a business plan and more than anything a passion for the taste of fresh coffee that makes everyone else look generic. This is the most in depth class of study that I have ever been associated with and I came away from it with a deeper level of respect and a greater love for coffee. Fresh Coffee, well orchestrated coffee and the presentation thereof. Customer Service and the presentation, but as a Numbers person, A very well thought out Business plan that satisfies the Barista and the Consumer. Claire, WELL DONE..... you have an amazing ability to make things STICK, the first time, that will equip those in the coffee serving industry to make the best cup of coffee and be consistant every time for every customer. Hats off to both of you...... WELL DONE & Be Blessed
Spending three days at the TCS is more than worth the cost - before you decide to spend thousands on the coffee shop of your dreams, take the time to learn from the best about everything from how to make the best cup of coffee to every aspect of the coffee shop business and get the answer to any and every question you may have (and many you didnt even think about). WELL worth the expense to make sure you have all the information you need to make the right decision about your new coffee shop!!! Dont make the mistake of missing this training!!!
I attended 3 days Coffee Business Class at Texas Coffee School. My experience and knowledge I learned from Tom & Anna was precise to their craft for coffee and experience toward the industry. 1st day of class we already started to learn how to make espresso, following the 2nd day with more practice and different type of drinks. I went to the class with zero knowledge of coffee industry, after the 3rd day I am motivated and confident to making a move toward opening my own coffee shop within a year. I set a goal to open my 1st coffee shop within a year. This review is 2 weeks after I attended the class. Since then I’ve been doing a lot of research everyday toward my coffee shop. Absolutely amazing thank you. :)
Anna and Tom did such a great job! I walked away from the business class with a vast array of knowledge in the coffee industry and business in general. Im so pleased with the structure and material we were provided during our three days and can not recommend these guys enough!
Attending the 3 Day Coffee Business Master Class was the best investment we made towards opening our coffee business. Mr. Tom and Ms. Anas knowledge on the types of coffees, teas, syrups, machinery, start up phase to opening the doors and running your business and more is impeccable and loaded!! I am pleased about what this course taught and the resources that were given. Honestly, if I didnt take this course, I wouldve missed out on a lot of key logistics I would have never thought of or been told of. And side note... I was making my at home coffee all wrong and still refer to my hand book to make the perfect cup when using my different coffee makers :D This course was enjoyable, detailed, and structured. (And the drinks were delicious!!)
Ive never had this much fun learning! Anna and Tom was super informative and held my attention the whole time (which is really hard to do). This class is a must for those who are interested in opening a coffee shop/Cafe shop. You could also apply the learns of the business class to other endeavors as well thanks to Tom. Anna made the hands on learning easy to understand and she has patience like a saint for newbies like me. Definitely recommend 👌
Great staff and definitely a great place to learn! Well worth it.
This class was amazing! Before you open up your coffee shop you need to take this class. It is 100% worth the investment. The results speak for themselves. The chances of your coffee shop being successful are way better if you take this class. It is the best kind of investment you can make!
Highly, Highly recommend Texas Coffee School! The information was excellent and very detailed. It will give you a Great head start in preparing to open your Coffee Shop. Thanks Tom and Anna!
Definitely an awesome experience! You could feel the passion for coffee from Anna and Tom, and it was contagious.. I left with a very optimistic view of the road ahead!
This was an incredible experience! I have been looking at attending for a long time and finally did it - and man it was a good choice! Not only did I learn a ton of new information but I gained the confidence boost needed for the next steps. For a three day class, it was extremely detailed and thorough. The staff is amazing and answered any questions my class had. If you are thinking about taking this course - do it! I left so pumped up and excited for my future!!!
Valuable knowledge gained through Texas Coffee School! As a coffee enthusiast with no prior business experience, the 3-day Coffee Business class has given me valuable insights and clear directions on how to set up a coffee business for success. Thank you Tom & Anna!
Great school! Tom and Anna are passionate, knowledgeable instructors. I highly recommend this to anyone considering a coffee business course.
Had a blast at this class. Learned so much in regards to starting a new coffee shop from the business side to the barista side. It was very intimate and interactive with plenty of hands on. They provided a nice roadmap to take home as well in addition to a tone of contacts/vendors. Highly recommend if your launching a new coffee business.
I recently took the three day Coffee Business and Barista Training Program from Texas Coffee School and highly recommend it to anyone looking to open their own coffee business. Anna and Tom were absolutely great and the amount of information and materials provided are priceless.
Texas Coffee School was very informative and educating. You will walk away with your “tool belt” full of all the tools you will need to run/open your coffee business. What i appreciated most was their honesty on every aspect. Tom and Anna are very confident and passionate about Texas Coffee School and it left a huge impression on me. Thank you!!
I wanted to know everything there was to know about opening and running a coffee shop since we are in the process of wanting to do just that. The coffee shop school was right on target with that expectation that I had. I was very pleased with the whole class. Dont know how it could have been any better, really!
Texas Coffee School is a fantastic value! The instructor is so personable and very informative. The amount of information provided was so much more than I expected, and will hopefully be utilizing them for more excellent training in the near future!
The 3 day barista/business course was great! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to begin a coffee business or for any entrepreneur that happens to love coffee, haha! Tom and Anna make it both super informative and fun as well.
I came to the Texas Coffee School with no background or experience in coffee (other than drinking it and enjoying some good coffee shops). My three days in the business class exceeded my expectations. The team’s communication of their experience and knowledge was clear and made learning the concepts so easy. I came to the school with a business idea I wasn’t positive would work (small towns are interesting places to start businesses). I left the class confident the idea could work and with enough practical information to start the business. I would highly recommend Texas Coffee School. Thanks Tom, Anna, and Collin!
I debated quite a bit over attending the 1-day online course or waiting to attend in person, I am very hands on and love being around others while learning so this was a big decision for me. I was ready for this next step so I went for the 1-day online class and I am beyond thankful that I did. I came into the class with high expectations and several questions that I was seeking answers and advise and I have to say by the end of the day Tom had pretty much answered every one of those questions. The training is incredibly detailed and so thought out making it easy to follow and refer back to as I continue the journey of opening my coffee shop. I am beyond thankful for the dedication that Tom has given this course and I feel confident moving forward in my journey with all the details he provided. I look forward to attending the 2 day barista class soon!Thanks again Tom! It honestly exceeded my expectations!!
Really enjoyed this class. If you are planning on opening, buying, or running a coffee shop, you need to stop now and come take this class! They will explain the “do’s” and “don’ts” and more importantly, the “whys”. They are very knowledgeable about coffee and business. They will walk you through EVERYTHING you need to know about running a successful coffee shop!
Joe and I attended TCS June 12-14. We are currently building a convenience store, Old Magnolia Garage, on Rt. 66 and want to offer our customers quality coffee. I was amazed at the vast knowledge about coffee Tom and Anna have and share in their class. We came home with our heads spinning (not just from the caffeine and excellent coffee) but from the enormous amount of information we were given in a short 3 day class. Im still reviewing and pulling valuable resources and contacts from our handouts. Our 3 day class was a wonderful investment in our new business.
Great learning experience. Recommend to anyone wanting to open up a coffee business.
They are the best! Highly recommend!
Texas Coffee School was worth the money and the travel 10 times over!! The amount of knowledge, expertise and advise shared was invaluable. Tom and Anna have most likely saved me a LOT of mistakes within starting a coffee shop. From lease negotiations to water filtration systems, Texas Coffee School has got you covered. They go above and beyond with all of the information received. To be honest I wish the class was longer! I enjoyed meeting the others in the small class that all had different visions of starting their business. All students were also at various places within their business process and I believe STILL everyone got just as much out of the course. Im so grateful to have found them and cannot wait to be one of the success stories. Thank you to Tom and Anna who have quite obviously put in so much time, hard work, knowledge, experience and LOVE into Texas Coffee School. It most definitely shows.
Awesome course for anyone considering opening a coffee shop business. Everything is covered down to minor details. Worth every penny when you consider the time and costly mistakes you would very likely make without this training. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly and explain the information in an easy to comprehend manner. I highly recommend Texas Coffee School.
Taking the course was one of the best investments I have made towards opening my business, there was so information And The educators were knowledgeable and professional. They went above and beyond my expectations
I went to the coffee cupping class with a friend, and we had such a great time! I actually recommended it to my company as a team building activity, and the whole team went to a cupping class, too. It was a hit!Tom and the rest of the staff are so knowledgable about the coffee preparation journey and the best techniques for a perfect cup. Its like I stepped into my own coffee episode of Good Eats.I would highly recommend this class or any other class offered by Texas Coffee School. The attention to detail and knowledge about coffee and the industry is second to none.
I dont recommend this place. They have high employee turnover and the owner teaches classes about working in and owning a coffee shop but he has never worked in the industry outside opening a school. The knowledge they teach can be found on google. Save your money.Edit: This isnt completely off-base. The owner has never worked at a shop. He has never owned a shop. He doesnt have any first hand knowledge of the subject matter which he teaches. Dont waste your money supporting his ego.
The program here was soup to nuts! With hands on training and great resources given! The instructors are down to earth, knowledgeable and know how to guide you no matter how you learn! They have the best programs around! Definitely worth it! The knowledge you take away is worth millions! You won’t regret it!
I took a portion of the coffee master class virtually, during COVID-19. I am so blown away by the attention to detail this course offers. The literature you’re provided is everything you would need to start a successful business. You can tell by his presentation and content that his is very passionate about what he does and we are lucky that he shares that with us to want nothing more than us all to be successful. I can’t wait to attend the Barista training !! Also, can’t wait for the day my small business opens - after this course you will feel motivated and Inspired to keep going!
It was a great experience getting all the Coffee knowledge and be able to have a better understanding about Coffee Operations. The information provided very helpful, great job.
I’m so happy I decided to attend this class. The instructors were super patient and helpful. The information received was invaluable and will save me from so many pitfalls and wasted money as I start this journey. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in starting a coffee business. You won’t regret it!!
This class exceeded all expectations. You wont easily find this kind of information anywhere! The weekend was fun, inspiring, thought provoking, and extremely detailed. If youre thinking about opening a coffee shop - or any business - I HIGHLY recommend this class! I left feeling uplifted and ready to take on the world.
I attended the 1-Day Online Coffee Business Class on April 30th. This was an excellent opportunity for me because I currently live overseas. This class was an incredibly thorough yet streamlined course that was easy to follow from the comfort of my home. Toms knowledge and experience gave me confidence as I start thinking about my business plan. I highly recommend this 1-Day online course and I cant wait until I can take the 2-day in-person barista training!
Most comprehensive look possible for starting a shop. Amazing material that is both helpful grow our current business as well as better consider new shops in the future! You wont be sad you went!
I 100% recommend the 3 day course for anyone even thinking about opening a coffee shop or diving deeper in to the coffee world! Trust me - itll save you so much wasted time and money later down the road!
Very descriptive hands on and theoretical program. Extremely well organized course and very suitable for experienced and beginners. If you want to get in the coffee business, even if you have experience and know how the business works, this class is a must!
I have been in and out of coffee for the past 20 years. My husband is a coffee trader that worked his way up the industry from barista, coffee roaster, coffee buyer to now trader. Coffee has been our whole life together. (Throughout these years I have been my husband’s unpaid assistant whenever needed) And yet by taking the Business Class at Texas Coffee School I was enlightened! Now that I am about a month away from opening my store. I carry the training materials around like I would a bible! I refer to it when I am looking over my lease or pricing out products. As they say Knowledge is power! With the training materials, Tom and Staff, you have leverage to make great deals. In the class you go over all the basic drinks plus they throw out some creative ideas to make your store the cutting edge in the industry. I highly recommend taking the Coffee Business & Barista Training Program and I wish I took the class sooner!
This was such a great class. I went into this class as a learning experience and to see if I actually wanted to pursue opening a coffee house. I got so much more. Tom, Anna and Lauren were so informative and kept all the days interesting and hands on.
Very comprehensive and hands-on course. Would definitely recommend to anyone even THINKING ABOUT opening a coffee shop. Lots of valuable (literally valuable!) information! Great investment of time and money.
If you are looking to open a coffee shop or any business, this class is a must. It has so much useful information, inspiring stories and practical tips that will save you money in the long run. Anna and Loren are great in teaching you every aspect of coffee. You will learn a lot from them. Tom will teach you the steps by steps roadmap on how to start the business. The class is totally worth it and I highly recommend. I have my husband sign up for the class even though he is not open a business with me. But it helps to have another set of eyes and ideas.
The business class is well-thought out, to the point, with detailed instruction; not a moment wasted. Great for the entrepreneur who needs all the information in limited time. I enjoyed the presentations and hands-on training. Essentially a create-your-own-coffee-franchise in a weekend. Well-done, Jonah and Tom, thanks!
It would be very difficult to overstate the amount of useful information that I received from the 3 day class. Thank God they put it all on paper as well as teaching the class as I could not possibly retain all of it. If you are interested in the coffee business and dont have experience in the sector then you cannot afford to start a business WITHOUT THIS CLASS. Tom and his team are top notch in every way.
My wife and I attended recently and were absolutely blown away, far exceeded our expectations! The instruction was well educated, in depth, and truly information overload, in a great way. We walked away ignited for our future and well equipped for the road ahead. Thank you Tom and the Texas Coffee School staff for your investment in us and our future!
Great learning experience. Participating in this course helps to put things into real life perspective. They help take what is just a concept or dream into real life actionable items. Such a great experience and recommend to anyone even thinking about opening up their own business.
My experience at Texas Coffee School was absolutely fantastic!I am very grateful for whole training and information that was provided to us.I could say that this was the most informative time that I spent in terms of learning something new and they gave us a lot for that short 3 day period of time!Thank you so much, Tom and all your team!Svetlana DenisovaEntrepreneurOpening a Coffee House in California
Easily the best investment I have made in my entrepreneurial career...and I went to school for it. The program is set up to build confidence in preparation and provide excellent resources so you dont have to reinvent the wheel for setting up a coffee shop (or any business for that matter). This is a worthwhile investment 150%. I was hesitant about spending that amount for registration but I honestly feel I made my money back in the first 4 hours. Tom gave us some tips that I plugged into my financial plan and it saved me about $4,000 BOOM!.
I cant say enough how much I recommend attending training at the Texas Coffee School. The cost is a joke compared to the training, insight and resources you receive when taking the three day class. If you are even remotely thinking about opening a coffee shop then take this class. My wife and I went from being completely overwhelmed about the process of opening a business to being excited and feeling like we arent in the dark about anything. From how to make great drinks to what your parking should reflect, there isnt a topic that isnt covered.
I went to the coffee cupping class with a friend, and we had such a great time! I actually recommended it to my company as a team building activity
This was an amazing experience! Everything I learned was so valuable and gave me a much bigger outlook on coffee and business. What I learned at Texas Coffee School is worth more than I could have learned anywhere else!
If I had got those classes prior to the process of opening my Cafe I would have saved lots of money and avoid headaches.Tons of real useful information are given during those 3 days course specially regarding to Business.(They don’t enjoy at all answering to questions so write down anything that you couldn’t get and ask at the end of class. Or just do like me: pretend you crazy and ask anyways)Be intelligent and invest on your knowledge before opening a coffee shop or a cafe.Here your money won’t be wasted.recommend!
Really enjoyed the Texas Coffee School program. Claire does a great job taking you step by step in the fascinating world of espresso, milk and coffee brewing techniques. Tom does an exceptional job sharing his knowledge and experienced in the coffee industry as well as business. As a business owner I highly recommend attending his class. It’s a small investment that will not only save you money in making costly mistakes, but more importantly saving you TIME.
The class was very informative especially for a newbie. I am a Keurig and flavored cream drinker and was amazed by the difference a good coffee and perfect brew make. I was able to drink it straight. A lot more goes in to it than I thought. Robert had a great way of explaining things that kept me interested and with his dose of stand up thrown in there made for a fun class as well.
A huge thanks to Tom and Anna for teaching a great 3 day class. If youre considering opening a coffee shop or just want to learn more about, Texas Coffee School is a must! Theyre passionate about their craft and truly care about every student who comes through the doors. See you guys soon and thanks again!
You may hesitate and ask yourself if this program worth signing up for or if its legitimate. Trust me its worth every dollar and more. Very well credibility and very informative. I truly enjoyed this experience and obtained the knowledge I needed to advance in the next step.
If you need to learn the right way to make coffee or opening a coffee shop, this is the school to attend! Instructors are knowlegable about teaching students the necessary skills and Tom is very serious about the coffee business. I felt it was great lessons for me and they are nice people!
My husband and I had an excellent experience at Texas Coffee school. Their passion for the coffee industry is easy to see which made the time fly by.The biggest thing we appreciated was their honestly about factors to consider when seriously thinking about opening a business. They did not sugar coat the facts and gave us helpful outlines to consider when working with lawyers, real estate agents, and banks.We appreciated their extremely high standard for quality and consistency when it comes to preparing coffee & selecting beans. The staff was very down to earth and helped answer all of the questions we had.We would definitely recommend the course to a friend. If you are seriously considering opening a coffee shop, this will be the best investment you could make before getting started.
Tom and Jonah were awesome! The information I learned during the three-day coffee school course was worth every penny and more. I would highly recommend Texas Coffee School to any one who is serious about wanting to open a coffee business.
I debated back and forth for quite a while before signing up for the 3-day coffee business class. If you’re in the same position, trying to decide whether or not to take the class, sign up now!! The amount of money that you’ll both save and make from taking this class far exceeds the amount you’ll pay for registration. The information that Tom shares during this class is very thorough and is based not only in an extensive amount of experience but also in research and data. Claire and Robert were also fantastic. They covered all aspects of coffee equipment and making the perfect coffee, espresso drinks, and teas. To anyone, at any stage of the process of opening your own coffee business, I cannot recommend highly enough that you take this class. You’ll have so many moments throughout the 3 days that you’ll think to yourself “I’m so glad I decided to come!”.
This class totally surpassed my expectations! I was not really sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. I learned so many interesting and important information needed to start a coffee shop. Robert and Claire were awesome. Tom is such a coffee nerd and awesome as well. You can tell that they all enjoy their graft. You will be equipped with all the materials needed from A to Z on how to successfully open up your coffee shop. I would Highly recommend this course at the Texas Coffee School. I have no doubt in my mind that my coffee shop will be successful if I follow Tom’s program.Thank you guys. You rock!
Absolutely fantastic - both myself and staff have attend classes at TCS and I am glad that we did it. The attention to detail given by Tom and staff is fantastic. Its a very hands on experience in a small setting that allows for everyone in attendance to get hands on experience in all aspects of coffee and running a shop. If you are interested in opening a coffee shop, becoming a barista or just have a passion for proper coffee then I highly recommend attending one of the classes offered by the Texas Coffee School . . . worth every penny
Taking the classes at Texas Coffee School is one of the best decisions Ive ever made from a business and personal perspective. I highly encourage anyone who is considering opening a coffee shop to take the courses Texas Coffee School has to offer. They are extremely thorough, organized, and theyre also quite a bit of fun. From the first 15 minutes of class on Day 1, I knew I made the right decision.
This class is very hands on, to the point, and informative. I found it broadened my knowledge of the coffee world and gave me the confidence to make consumers happy. I learned I had some previous misconceptions, and we were encouraged to express our concerns, and ideas. Informative instructors discussed precision from the bean, intense & pleasurable aroma, presentation, to the flavor sensation.Texas Coffee School makes coffee make sense.
Great information shared on opening up a coffee shop. The class covered many areas I never thought of -- but now know.
I cannot express how much I appreciate the course that was put together for starting a specialty coffee shop. That amount I learned over a weekend course at Texas Coffee School was much more than I expected. Tom, Lauren and Annah brought thorough knowledge and training to our group of eager people from across the US to prepare us for opening up our own specialty coffee business. From Entrepreneurship skillsto hands on practice creating a variety of beverages I feel prepared and excited to open the doors of my new place come spring.
Thought everyone was very thorough and definitely came back learning a whole lot! Definitely worth it!
Very interesting coffee tasting class. Thorough and well thought out and done.
First of all let me start by saying GREAT job to Tom who was helped by Jonah. The 3 day course was very informative,starting from the very first day you are given a lot of information, which at time might look a lot,but it takes a bit of time to process,dont let that discourage you. I highly recommend Texas Coffee School for someone thats looking to get into the coffee business and learn more about coffee, Tom has done a great job putting the course together, and that is from years of experience and its not out of some text book that you find on the internet, Tom is the text book of hes own. I literally traveled half way around the world just to attend hes course which was worth it. At the end of the 3 day course Tom hands out all the information that was talked over the 3 days, you hardly take any notes, its all there for you. On a last note, after the end of the course you will have a totally different prospective on coffee, coffee is a lifestyle, its a different kind of art. Thank you TOM.
Texas Coffee School was so thorough and informative. With the hands on class experience, it made it so much easier to understand what the instructors were teaching us.
Had a great time. It was a small group, which allowed me to get more out of it. Packed full of theory and practical. The teacher Claire was enthusiastic and her passion for coffee was clear. Would highly recommend the course.
Gosh, just where do I begin? After waiting for a year to attend, I can honestly say that the ENTIRE experience was worth every penny spent and every minute in class! Tom, Claire and Robert kept it real, gave their all to confirm that this is the path you want to make of being a coffee shop owner. If youve been thinking about attending, do it! You will not regret it!
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience i had at Texas Coffee School! I have gain so much knowledge about coffee as well as all the aspects of open and running a specialty coffee shop. Tom has so much in depth knowledge about coffee and business operation. I would strongly suggest anyone who dream of being your own boss, passionate about coffee and have strong entreprenuer mind, should attend this 3 days traning. Clair is also exceptional. Her passion for coffee and years of experience in the field will surely guide you through the practice and hand on experience in the process of learning the art of making coffee and tea. Thank you Tom and Clair for the exceptional guidance you have both provided to us here at Texas Coffee School!
A highly informative and hands on learning experience. The Texas Coffee School provides an incredibly detailed and thorough guide to learning how to successfully open and operate a specialty coffee shop. Absolutely worth the investment. Thanks guys!!!!
My husband & I both attended - COMPLETELY worth the investment - I have never seen so much attention detail! I believe no stone was left unturned - volumes of information on every aspect, but so organized and easy to follow I left equipped to zero in on our purpose - the heavy lifting of the business details were literally in my hands when we left - I am genuinely more excited than I though possible to move forward with plans to open my own shop!
Highly recommend this course! Tom, Robert, and Claire did a fantastic job and the course is very thorough. I left there with all of my questions answered and then some. It was a great experience!
So much BANG for your BUCK! Certainly worth every penny. Im a small business owner who runs an ice cream business in Houston. Weve been in business for 3 years and wanted to expand the menu to feature coffee and other beverages for our flagship location. Thought I was walking into a general introduction to barista training, but it ended up being a well-rounded program from A-Z on how to start and run your very own small business. The game plan Tom prepared can be applied to almost any type of small business start up. I appreciated the attention to detail in his lesson planning. HE PRACTICALLY WROTE UP A COMPLETE BUSINESS PLAN for you with STATS and NUMBERS from successful coffee shop models. Not only did I learn barista basics, I now feel confident with taking my business to the next level! A+++ STELLAR!
