About Watford Coffee School
Professional coffee training, practical experience and a pathway into the world of coffee.
Why Watford Coffee School Was Created
Our Story
Coffee is one of the world's most consumed beverages, and in Britain, it has become an important part of everyday life.
With hundreds of coffee shops, cafés and restaurants across the UK, skilled baristas are increasingly valued within the coffee industry. Yet, before Watford Coffee School was created, there was no dedicated place in Watford offering accessible barista training.
The school was created to change that — giving people in Watford and the surrounding areas the opportunity to develop practical coffee making skills without travelling long distances.
“Learn the theory.
Practice the craft.
Experience the real coffee environment.”

Café at Market Street
More Than a Classroom
Learn in a Real Coffee Environment.
Watford Coffee School is part of Café at Market Street, located in Watford town centre.
This gives students something that goes beyond traditional classroom learning.
Students don't just learn the theory behind coffee making. They also have the opportunity to gain real hands-on exposure within an established artisan coffee environment.
That means learning in a setting where coffee is actually prepared, served and enjoyed by customers.
