About School

Coffee for curious people.

Our approach

School Specialty Coffee is a Burlington café built around one simple idea: exceptional coffee should feel welcoming, curious and fun. We bring together standout Canadian roasters so every visit can introduce you to a new origin, producer or flavour.

Our team prepares every cup with care—from a dialled-in espresso to the signature drinks that make recess a little more playful. Come ready to explore, or simply order what you love.

A multi-roaster coffee shop

Instead of serving coffee from only one roaster, we curate a rotating selection from excellent Canadian roasters. We choose coffees for quality, transparency and a distinct sense of place, then help you find the one that fits your taste.

OUR PROMISE

Serious about quality.
Never too serious to have fun.
