Welcome to the North Coast Barista School and Coffee College. We are part of the Troubadour Coffee family and the only barista training and coffee school program in northeast Ohio. We collectively bring nearly 10 years of specialty coffee experience to you. We have been coffee shop owners, operators and managers. We have been baristas, roasters, retailers, bakers and coffee shop makers. All we are missing is you!
If you are in northeast Ohio or nearby and looking to learn about starting a coffee business and/or barista training, we should be talking!
Our
courses are designed to bring a lot of information together in a reasonable
amount of time, but delivered with relevance in a realistic manner from people
that have actually been coffee shop owners, operators AND baristas. That is the difference
between us and other schools. We have made the mistakes that we'll tell you
about so you won't have to waste your precious time and money making them
yourself. Attending barista school and training has never been easier!
The biggest reason good folks fail in this business is
undercapitalization. Second reason is a bad location. Third is lack of training
and consistency. Reality is, if you are going
to be spending anywhere from $30,000 to $300,000 or more for starting a coffee shop,
wouldn't it be in your best interest to get some good advice and barista training from
someone that has done this before? Even if your plans are to become a
professional barista, you will still benefit greatly from our barista school.
If you are planning on starting a coffee business or want to just learn valuable
barista training see our class descriptions and
choose a course of learning. We can help you to get on track! Home
espresso enthusiast? We can help you become the ultimate barista on your
home machine in our home barista training session.
We also offer a wide variety of coffee shop consulting services.
Contact us here to begin discussing your future. We can come to you, you can come to us (see
class schedule), or most of our consultations can be done via phone
or Skype and email (except barista training). Please see our
consulting site for starting a coffee
business for more information
on our other services. Ciao!
