Check Out What People Are Saying About Us…

This place is a hidden gem. On fist glance, I thought it was just a cooking school but then I discovered their cafe! The food is awesome here. Not a huge menu but everything we tried was AMAZING. I recommend the split pea soup and the BLT.

Attended a gourmet couples cooking class. The chef was personable and made it really fun. Although you only make one item, it was a nice evening. The food was delicious and the store had some unique items.
