I recently visited a place in Lagos that I didn’t even know existed before. It’s called the Coffee and Gelato University by Cosmos Trade Nigeria, and it’s focused on teaching people how to actually make coffee and gelato professionally.
What stood out to me is that it’s not just theory. The training is very hands-on.
While I was there, I saw people learning how to use real café equipment, the same kind you’d find in coffee shops and dessert stores. They were practicing how to prepare coffee properly, understanding the different techniques, and also learning how gelato is made from scratch.
From what I gathered, the program is useful for different kinds of people. If you’re planning to open a café, start a dessert business, become a barista, or even add gelato to your bakery menu, the training covers practical skills you’ll actually use.
Another interesting thing is that Cosmos Trade Nigeria also supplies coffee machines, ingredients, and other professional equipment, which can be helpful if you plan to set up your own café after learning.
I also heard they provide after-sales support, which means people who buy equipment from them can still get guidance later on.
If you’re curious about learning the craft, the next Coffee and Gelato Training runs from April 20th to April 24th, 2026.
For anyone in Lagos looking to learn a new food or beverage skill, this is one of those places you might want to check out.
Would you try learning coffee or gelato making?
