Canadian Barista & Coffee Academy - Vancouver Campus

I always loved coffee in my life.
Canadian Barista & Coffee Academy was my first step to approach the coffee industry. I really enjoyed the classes and my teacher was very helpful. If you like coffee, don't be shy. Come and make your new coffee buddies.

I have ordered coffee literature from the Canadian Barista & Coffee Academy a few times now. I initially came across them because I was searching for some of the modern-day "classics" on roasting, as a home roaster seeking to learn more, but was having a lot of difficulty finding them. Then, lo and behold, I found all the books I was looking for in one spot!

I am very pleased to have done business with them. The service has been great. Everyone I spoke with very was been friendly. The books I received were delivered quickly, and extra care was taken with the packaging so the books would arrive in pristine condition and there was even personalized note, both of which are little touches I greatly appreciate.

The split-payment option, too, is a great additional feature. It allowed me to buy a few things at once I was interested in, but without incurring the upfront cost, which really made it a no-brainer to buy and dive in. I would highly recommend them if you want any of the literature they have on offer!

Jamie and Les went above and beyond during the online instruction! In addition to a thoroughly in-depth, personalized experience, they both spent hours offline preparing to give me specific, honest and relevant advice on how to improve to my soon-to-open business. I highly recommend this course for anyone thinking about starting a coffee business.

I learned so much during the two-days intensive course I had with the Academy! As a beginner, it was very interesting to learn how to use all the machinery properly and efficiently. Mario was very helpful and friendly, and I really enjoyed the hands-on experience.

Thanks guys for the amazing experience and making me more interested to learn more and improve on my skills at home!

I loved the courses I took! To be honest, I wish there were more stars :) I have taken all of the courses offered and cannot speak highly enough of the instructors and the content. It is direct, clear, concise and no BS. I really wanted to learn about opening a coffee based business, coffee culture/community and was amazed with how many mistakes I would have made…if I had not taken this class. They demystify everything about coffee, opening a business and learning how to taste. If you want to seriously train to be a barista, open a business, or just make better coffee at home you should check these guys out. Plus the added bonus…as an alumni you get ongoing support with any questions. Truly fantastic!!!!
