A latte art class in Los Angeles runs about $150 to $185 per person where prices are published. Klatch Coffee lists its two hour class at $150, and The Boy & The Bear charges $185 for a 90 minute session in Culver City. Several other LA shops, including Counter Culture, Regent Coffee, and The Latte Lab in Venice, sell tickets through Eventbrite and only show the price at checkout, so treat the range above as the going rate rather than a ceiling.
Why book through the shop, not a middleman
LA has a pile of listicle pages recommending latte art classes that no longer exist or never did. Every provider below was checked against its own website or its live Eventbrite listing, so the class is real, the address is current, and the curriculum is what the shop itself says it teaches. Book directly through the links so the shop gets the full ticket price and you get their actual cancellation terms.

Which one fits you
If you own an espresso machine and want the most structured session, Klatch is the obvious pick: it runs an SCA certified training campus and pairs this class with a separate home espresso course. The Boy & The Bear caps its class at 4 people, so you get the most time on the steam wand per dollar. Counter Culture's Silver Lake session is the one to take if you pour oat milk drinks, since alternative milk is on the curriculum. Regent in Highland Park goes furthest into espresso itself, covering dialing in before the pours, and it is the only one that lets you bring your own machine so you learn on the gear you will actually use. The Latte Lab in Venice is the most casual of the five and works fine as a first taste.
What you actually learn in one session
Be realistic about the output of a 90 minute to 2 hour class. You will learn how to stretch and texture milk so it pours as microfoam instead of bubble bath, how to position the pitcher, and how a heart comes together. Most people land a recognizable heart by the end. Tulips are hit or miss on day one, and a clean rosetta almost never happens in the first session, which is why every shop above frames the class as fundamentals plus practice technique rather than a certification. The real value is having someone correct your steaming in real time, because bad milk is what ruins most home latte art, not the pour.
Keep practicing after class
One session gets you the mechanics; reps get you the rosetta. You can practice pouring cheaply at home with water and a drop of dish soap in the pitcher before you burn through gallons of milk. Our guide to learning latte art covers the practice progression, and if you are taking a class as a step toward cafe work, see how to become a barista and what baristas actually make before you invest in more training.
