Overview
Bringing Quality Coffee Bistros to the Las Vegas Area
We founded The Coffee Class in 2019 on a mission to pair amazing coffee with equally incredible food in one sensational service-oriented concept. Three years later, we have experienced explosive growth on our journey to transform our customers’ daily grind with quality fresh baked pastries, amazing organic coffee and tea, and delicious all-day food options. As we expand to new locations, we continue to build our loyal community by serving freshly prepared food and beverages.
The Problem & Our solution
Exceptional Service and Outstanding Coffee
Too many coffee shops in Las Vegas deliver the same old generic menu items, often pre-prepared and made without high quality ingredients. We partner with nationally renowned roastery Onyx Coffee to source the highest-quality coffee from around the world and, craft delicious, creative drink recipes.
We understand that when earning repeat customers, quality food and drink are equally as important as warm, welcoming customer service. We train all our employees with values of authenticity and individuality to be knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our menu.
the market & Our Traction
Expanding Our Reach in a Massive Market
The retail value of the U.S. coffee market is estimated to be $48 billion with specialty coffee comprising approximately 55% value share. 35% of adults aged 18-24 drink specialty coffee daily (Source). We target the 18-65 year old professional demographic, engaging higher income customers, including parents with their kids, single working adults, and college students. Through our aesthetic, we also attract a lot of "coffee dates" and serve as an attraction for weekend brunch crowds. Our Instagram engagement metrics have indicated that our guests and follower base are predominantly women.
Our company has consistently grown since our launch, doubling our sales from 2020 to 2021 and growing at a year-over-year (YoY) rate of 20-25% in 2022. We recently opened our second location, and have completed permitting and final approvals to begin construction on our third location at the Uncommons, an upscale development in the heart of the popular, up-and-coming Southwest Las Vegas.
We have secured a trademark for The Coffee Class.
Why Invest
A Beloved Coffee House Ready to Scale
We are at a time of exciting growth, with new locations opening soon and a robust community of coffee lovers. As we master our expansion process, we envision opening new locations beyond Las Vegas, starting in Phoenix, Denver and Dallas. With significant growth and the highest quality service out there, we are ready to share our delicious coffee, tea, and food with as many people as possible.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
The Coffee Class will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Common Stock at $2 / share, you will receive 10 additional shares of Common Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $200. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investors eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus and the Existing platform users bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.
*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.
Irregular Use of Proceeds
We will not incur any irregular use of proceeds.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS
Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
