Not only is Albert very…read morepersonable and professional, but the wealth of knowledge that he has and his passion for what he does is evident from start to finish. Albert is very talented and accommodating to learners of varying abilities. He also makes the class so much fun that I was surprised how quickly the time went. I highly recommend!! As for the chocolate, I have never tasted anything like it! The quality, the taste, the texture is such an incredible experience. It is easy to see why he is in such high demand.

Happened to stumble across Chef Albert and his sweets collection when I went to the Partake…read moreCollective. Chef Albert is sooo friendly and personable, which I love! He let me sample the vegan chocolate honeycomb and it was quite crisp and delicate. The texture literally felt like chewing on honeycombs wrapped in chocolate. Yum! I decided to bring home the cocoa butter crisps, which the chef states is made out of Ritz crackers and chocolate. Made me quite intrigued cause when you think of Ritz crackers, you don't automatically think of chocolate. But oh my gosh, I really like them! Perfect balance of chocolate and cracker with a great amount of richness coming from the Belgian chocolate. Loved the caramel flakes on top, as well. Ambiance inside the Partake Collective provides a modern vibe with a quick grab and go experience. I like how Chef Albert's sweets are set up neatly as soon as you turn the corner up the stairs. Sweets and chocolates are always an eye catcher for me, so I am glad I saw this and got to meet Chef Albert personally. I would definitely recommend trying the variety of chocolates and sweets-- hope to come back soon when I'm in the area!

What a cool place and yummy popcorn…read more Ever since this spot opened in Bixby Knolls, I have been wanting to make a stop because I LOVE popcorn. First off, shout out to the owners dad who talked about his son's business and how he moved back to SoCal to help him out. To help support their business, I decided to but a few bags since I loved their story. Plus, the shop was cool, service was great, and you are immersed by the popcorn scent once you walk in. Most importantly, there are so many flavors and if you are undecided like I was, they allow you to try 3 flavors. After deliberation and going back and forth which felt like hours, actually 2 minutes, I ended up taking home Doritos Cool Ranch, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Dill Pickle. Doritos Cool Ranch: Tastes just like the chips, and as a matter of fact, there are chip crumbs throughout the bag which is a plus because it is one of my favorites. It's mind boggling how they can master the taste and trick your mind, thinking you are eating a bag of chips. Not too salty, popcorn was fresh, and the taste was perfection. By the time we realized, the bag was done and had us wanting more. Strawberry Cheesecake: Sweet but delicious. Definitely tasted like I was eating cheesecake. Cool tip-eat one of the pink and white kernels to get the true taste and be sure to savor it. Dill Pickle: I am not a fan of pickles but I would make an exception because it had a great taste. My boyfriend enjoyed this a lot, too. As soon as I tried one, it was as if I was eating a pickle but it wasn't overpowering. Overall, such a great experience and we will definitely be back to try out some other flavors. Plus, they take recommendations so be sure to submit what you want to see in the store.

The chocolates seem a little old, as if they were sitting out for a while, you know how milk chocolate usually gets that white coating when it's super old. The chocolates were way too expensive personally I think it's a little tourist trap being on the boardwalk in downtown Long beach. The woman behind the counter didn't seem enthusiastic about being there which sort of added to the negative experience. I give them two stars just because it was not a good experience and overpriced for what we got.
