Seattle Barista Academy

Even though my husband wasn't part of the class, Bob Burgess, the owner, and Stephen, the trainer, were more than willing to speak with us about espresso equipment maintenance and address any business-related questions we had before the class began. Stephen’s extensive experience in the coffee industry, combined with his patience as a teacher, was invaluable. He provided support for the specific challenges I faced during the class and encouraged me to improve with every shot I pulled. We spent plenty of time practicing pulling shots and steaming milk—there’s so much more to it than I realized! The workshop also covered a wide array of topics, including coffee art, which is my favorite aspec...

I have to confess that I stumbled into this place by chance, but as the wise Bob Ross said, there are no mistakes—only happy little accidents. I walked in just as they were holding their grand opening ceremony and politely inquired if they served coffee. Alex at the front was notably friendly and knowledgeable—perhaps the best I've ever met in the coffee scene. Although I didn’t join any of the classes that day, I learned they offer various educational opportunities, including a unique course on how to start your own coffee shop. This spot would be ideal for a date night or anyone curious about the many ways to prepare coffee. I could have easily spent the whole day chatting with Alex. All i...

I had an amazing experience with Bob and his team during the five-day hands-on barista and coffee course. The school is equipped with top-of-the-line machines and tools. The program offers a thorough exploration of various topics, including barista training and making smart business decisions. You'll learn how to consistently extract perfect espresso shots, create beautifully textured milk, experiment with different brewing methods, and even make a delicious cold brew. They cover everything you need. The coffee tour of Seattle's best shops is a standout feature, perfectly complementing the theoretical materials provided. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a caree...

If you, like me, have little to no knowledge or experience in coffee or being a barista, then the Seattle Barista Academy is the ideal place for you! Attending this academy was the best decision I've ever made to dive into the amazing world of coffee. Even though I live in New York City, I traveled across the country to be a part of this fantastic experience, and it completely exceeded all my expectations! Paulo, Bob, Hanna, and the rest of the SBA team are like a supportive family who truly want their students to understand the essence of coffee. I've gained so much from this experience, and I'm returning home with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to open my own café. Thank you,... Réservez une table maintenant

I recently participated in a five-day professional barista training at SBA, and it was an outstanding experience! The atmosphere at SBA is warm and welcoming, making it accessible for beginners like me. By the end of the first day, I was already certain that I had made the right choice by being there. The learning environment is excellent, and each day was filled with enjoyable and valuable insights. I genuinely loved every moment! A huge thank you to SBA for everything you taught me and for igniting a deeper passion for coffee within me. I also had the chance to make some wonderful friends who share the same interests! I can't recommend this experience highly enough.

I had an incredible experience! I enrolled in a three-day course at the Seattle Barista Academy because I wanted to expand my knowledge about coffee and learn how to make tasty espresso and latte drinks using my home machine. This hands-on class was exactly what I was seeking. Two talented baristas led us, patiently guiding us through each step to consistently create exceptional coffee drinks. I had my own fully-equipped workstation, and after three days of practice, I'm excited about the delicious coffee I can now make. On top of that, the class was so much fun—definitely worth the journey from Wisconsin!

We took part in a five-day course as we are in the process of launching a chain of coffee and beverage shops. I genuinely believe that embarking on this venture would have been unfeasible without this class. I can confidently say that our experience at the Seattle Barista Academy will be remembered as the best investment we've made in the coffee industry! Our instructors were outstanding, and the course material was current and relevant. Every minute of the five days was valuable. If you’re entering the coffee business, definitely partner with these folks!

My fiancée took part in the one-week program offered here, and she was thoroughly impressed by the quality, depth, and extensive knowledge she gained. She learned every aspect of running and working in a coffee shop, received several spiral-bound books to keep as references, and enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the coffee industry around Seattle. She spoke very highly of the instructor as well. Réservez une table maintenant

I attended a 3-hour latte art training class and had an amazing experience! I learned a lot and really enjoyed myself. You can drink the lattes you create, so be prepared for a caffeine boost if you’d like. I highly recommend it!
