I attended the Texas Coffee School in January of 2024. I waited a few months before posting the review to see how well the classroom transferred to my real-world adventure. Tom and his partners are great, but being a former journalist I’m a trust, but verify kinda guy. I challenged everything from equipment choices to roasters before making my choices. And I came back to almost everything the school recommended. If you think the cost of the school is high, plus travel expenses, I get it. That said, it will end up being a small budget line with a large ROI as you follow your passion. The hints and direction they offer will cover the cost of the class. Fact. I’m almost more appreciative of the TIME they have saved me. You have a million decisions to make. Do you want to spend it researching the best cleaning supplies for your machine or guessing how many heavy-walled shot glasses you need? They’ve done it for you. More importantly they teach you the how and why behind a mean shot. That said, my latte art still sucks. Enjoy the journey, count cars and watch your costs.

I took the 3 day coffee business master class. At first I was skeptical because it was a big investment. I knew right away I made the correct decision within the first hour. This class is loaded with tons of information. I learned a lot of business related things and I feel it will translate over to not just coffee shops, but any other business ventures I may pursue. I can tell they truly care and want you to succeed. I would highly recommend this class to anyone! Thank you Texas Coffee School for a top notch experience.

This is just what I needed to kickstart my coffee shop! Megan, Dana, and Tom were all awesome and very knowledgeable about not only the history of coffee but the considerations to run a successful coffee shop. If you’re undecided about moving forward with your coffee business, please consider attending the Texas Coffee School. The money you spend will be totally worth it.

I stumbled on this gem while looking online for some information in reference to opening a coffee bar. I must say that this school was extremely informative and I couldn’t be more happy with my decision to take this course. The entire staff was extremely hands on and super knowledgeable.

Texas Coffee School is a must for anyone considering opening a coffee business. If you want to save time, energy and money in the long run, this is a front end expense that is non negotiable!

Phenomenal experience! Worth every penny if you are looking for precise coffee brewing skills and metrics in a sea of coffee myths. You can tell that the information you are being provided has been curated over years and I believe it justifies the price tag completely!Megan, our instructor, was a wealth of information and provided equipment recommendations for our specific environment. We didn't stay for the business administration course but I can only imagine that that course would also be crammed full of years of hands-on experience, trial & error tutelage, & step-by-step processes for success in the crowded world of coffee shops.We flew from the east coast to go to this school specifically. If you want to brew perfect cups or ensure the success of your dream shop: check out the Texas Coffee School!!
