Workshops @ Amsterdam Coffee Lab

in picturesque Weesp

At Amsterdam Coffee Lab, we host workshops that are both inclusive and conducted in a welcoming environment. We appreciate that everyone is unique and has different ways of learning.  

We believe in a hands-on approach to learning, where mistakes are stepping stones to growth, and the only question that is truly foolish is the one that isn’t asked.
