Recent reviews of Entry Level-Barista Training Workshop

  • 5/5 from Rebecca Baglow, attended Aug 2026: We had an amazing time! It was a small class so we got a really personalised teaching experience and improved so much in as little as 3 hours. Great as barista experience but would also recommend as a great day-out with friends. Thank you Oak leaf for a wonderful experience
  • 5/5 from Mary Damousis, attended Jul 2026: Jeremy was very relaxed and put me at ease. The class size was small so it was a great opportunity to get a lot of practice making barista coffee and easy to take in all the information. I liked it so much I enrolled for a second class learning about and practising latte art. Jiajia
