The Coffee Class

Kyle Cunningham grew up in Las Vegas and is a proud alum of UNLV. He was one of the youngest GMs in the history of Yum Brands, achieving that role at the age of 20. After 7 years working in various restaurant concepts for Yum Brands (such A&W, KFC, Long John Silvers, and Pizzahut), he left the company to finish college. After declining a full ride scholarship to law school, he instead pursued a real estate career and built experience in both residential and commercial real estate as well as property management. In 2019, after 12 years in real estate, he decided his passion was back in restaurants. After years of solo travel around the world in between real estate deals, Kyle realized that Las Vegas was sorely lacking in quality coffee concepts. He dreamed of a coffee concept that would evoke the warmth and heart of a Parisian cafe, the upscale sophisticatin of an Los Angeles restaurant, and an environment specifically geared towards adults; specifically professionals. He developed The Coffee Class. A concept designed to marry a love for the quality and concept of coffee with the warm and sophisticated energy that has come to define it.

Chef Beth came to The Coffee Class with decades of experience and professional knowledge from working on kitchens on the strip and beyond. She is an expert baker and a top notch savory chef, too. She specializes in American comfort food as well as French baking concepts. She's been integral to getting our kitchens operating at a high level, in concert with seasoned baking team members, our Sous Chef at our Eastern location and many dedicated support staff that work our kitchens every day.

Maggie fills in a myriad of roles at The Coffee Class. Along with our executive chef, Maggie is the longest tenured team member at The Coffee Class. She started as a barista in 2019 and worked her way into a leadership role and eventually into a development role. She coordinates with customers on special events, catering orders, and charitable outreach. She handles our marketing and public relations initiatives, coordinates with content creators for our vibrant social media channels, and also coordinates development for new specialty lattes (such as our top selling S'mores Latte and our Maple Blueberry Latte). She also occassionaly fills in when needed anywhere else. So yes she wears many hats. Her intimate knowledge of the operations, the customers, the brand, and the vision of the CEO make her presence invaluable.

Noah joined The Coffee Class in 2020, immediately after the onset of the pandemic. He joined as a barista but quickly proved himself through exceptional innate leadership, incredible work ethic and an embodiment of everything it means to be a leader at The Coffee Class: committment to mentorship; commitment to community engagement and commitment to bringing high energy and positive leadership every day. He made it impossible not to promote him time and time again. His latest achievement was the incredibly tough role of opening our 2nd location. He pulled long hours without complaint and put the kind of passion and energy into the job that is a marvel to see. He's as critical a piece of our leadership team as anyone and someone we're proud to have on the team.

Savannah joined our team earlier in 2022. She quickly proved herself an amazing communicator, natural leader and passionate representative for our brand. She embodies the kind of incredible work ethic that seems to be contagious at The Coffee Class leadership table! A mom to two young sons and a former leader in the Cannabis industry as well as at local concept Greens & Proteins, she's an invaluable addition to this team and an all around great human.
