Customer Reviews

We don't need to speak for ourselves

I found the How to start a coffee shop course so useful, engaging and I am so glad I signed up! I was a bit hesitant to sign up early as my plan is to open around Q2 2022 but so glad I did as I feel I can spend the time researching and doing so much background work and prep now, even in a pandemic. I can't wait to come down and visit the school and get some behind counter experience and meet you all!

Great Course! Very useful and practical information of how to start a coffee shop. Robert is knowledgeable and experience in the coffee industry. I've learnt a lot in this 2 days course. Highly recommend.

Trainer Emma Haines and the London School of Coffee team have managed to adapt and offer a great online equivalent to their in-person SCA courses. Nothing was missed. The School itself provides enough equipment and space to do the in person exam in a safe manner. I also want to thank Gayle for her excellent communication (and all the snacks).

Absolutely great! I'll be back soon!

Just took Sensory Intermediate with John Thompson, the man, the legend. Facilities are amazing and the instruction was faultless. Very challenging but super interesting.
