Give the Gift of a Texas Coffee School Education

Finally, if you have an aspiring coffee shop owner in your life who’s ready to pursue their dream, you can help them take the first step with a gift certificate to Texas Coffee School. We offer a number of coffee classes catered to Coffeepreneurs® along every step of the journey. Simply choose the gift certificate you’d like to give, and watch the recipient’s eyes light up. Of all the coffee holiday gift ideas, this one takes the (coffee) cake.

We can’t wait to see them—or you—in the classroom next year!
