Procreate Coffee was founded in 2014 by Jessa Winn as an independent coffee education resource. Jessa recognized the need for simple, low cost classes for the many individuals that wanted to start their own coffee businesses but didn't know where to start. Classes were immediately successful and continue to be valued above competitors because our classes are not a sales pitch for our own coffee or products. Our only goal is to help you reach your goals! In 2017, Procreate Coffee was contracted by the NYC Department of Corrections to start a coffee school for inmates at Rikers Island. The barista program at Rikers teaches inmates useful skills and helps improve morale within the facilities among inmates and corrections officers alike. It was immediately popular and continues to make people happy 3 days a week in two separate facilities. We opened our current barista training studio in November of 2018. The studio is located just a few blocks north of Industry City in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. At Procreate Coffee, we offer a variety of practical and fun classes no matter your purpose for attending. It's not unusual to have a student opening a shop, another learning for home, one that aspires to work as barista and at least one that loves coffee and wants to learn something new for fun! And because our classes are small, we're able dedicate extra attention to students of all levels and interests, so you'll never have to worry if the class is too simple or advanced for your needs!
