Attended: New York Bagels

It was very enjoyable and relaxed! The bagels came out great! The instructor was very knowledgable and professional. There was a little bit more down/wait time than your typical cooking/baking class but overall it was worth it.

I had the flu and wasn’t able to reschedule the class and it appears that they prefer you show up to a baking class with a 101F fever vs. rescheduling you for another class that isn’t yet booked. Extremely disappointed, as the last thing I want is someone sick cooking with me. Being in HR, I don’t want people with this type of fever or cold in the office.

Attended: Couple Date Class: Traditional French Croissant Class

This was an excellent class. It was fun, engaging, hands-on with delicious croissants to eat at the end! It was worth the money. It was not a romantic date class, as much as it was just a cooking class. I would have enjoyed it if each couple could make their own croissants instead of sharing with another couple.

Attended: Chocolate Evening Class

We had very little opportunity to “make our own” chocolates. There was only one station set up where the instructor led the class asking for “volunteers” to stir or add an ingredients at times. Most of the class was spent in silence watching not because the instructor was talking but literally it was silent. We would like a refund!
