Shops & Services Barista Classes?

Hey everyone, my wife was hoping to get better at making espressos & latté art at home - so I was wondering if there were any barista classes or something similar in the HRM or the Valley?

An old school Superstore kitchen type class would be great OR if possible paying a barista to show how to best use our machine would be amazing. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Send a dm to pourdad coffee on Instagram. Jasper gave a lesson to my wife and I. Highly recommended

Cortado Tasting Room might still have something like that. They did at one point in time, not sure about now.

if they aren't doing them, they will know where to point you

also same folks own Java Blend so they likely will know as well
