Ted Nash
"So this course has been transformational, really, for my knowledge. Jamie has been a superb coach. I definitely would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and everyone that's interested either in learning more and more about coffee or, I would say, this is an absolute prerequisite to starting a coffee shop. You must come and learn from the Canadian Barista Institute."
Sergio Pulido
" I learned a lot about both the business side of opening a cafe and the hands-on barista skills. It was a very productive experience, and I truly enjoyed the entire process. Thank you, everybody!"
Charlotte and Raine from Earth’s Own
"it was really fun that we get lots of hands-on experience with making espresso, making latte art, how to do latte art, how to make the little heart shape in the coffee. That was really fun. And Les is a very great instructor. we asked lots of questions and it was very open to answering all of our questions... Super hands-on, super approachable. I would recommend it to anybody."
