  • 5/5 from Josie Nay, attended May 2026: I loved this class!!! Izzy was a great teacher and explained everything very thoroughly. I left the class knowing so much I didn’t know about espressos. I would definitely recommend this class and am thinking about taking the latte art class as well.
  • 5/5 from Diego Trujillo Gonzalez, attended May 2026: Isabelle was such a great teacher! she was really patient and straight to the point on showing me how to brew an espresso. We also had the chance to see the basics on how to steam milk. I would definitively recommend this to any coffee lover. Thank you one more time!

  • 5/5 from Kyle Lawrence, attended Apr 2026: Our teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned how to pull espresso shots and steam milk for lattes with a professional machine. The space was also extremely clean. My favourite part was learning how pull times affect the flavour profile. I would recommend this class for learning the basics.
  • 5/5 from Elliott Lamewona, attended Jan 2026: This was a great class! Jonathan was very knowledgeable and a very articulate and good teacher. It was just me and my wife and him as a class size but we were very comfortable and we learned alot about making espresso with him. I definitely recommend this no matter what experience level you have with coffee!
