This location is like the others that I have been to. Clean, airy, bright (plenty of windows letting sunlight in). I have shopped at this location several times, staff is friendly, nice selection of cookware, dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, mixes, spices, etc. I have taken 2 cooking classes there. Including a class for Steak, Salad, Mousse. It was fun, and informative. Class was a little over 2 hours. We were taught by a renowned chef who walked us through every step in the process. See attached pictures, but in the end, we had a delicious meal prepared by all 4 of us at our station. We also got a discount to use that day on any items we purchased. In addition we were emailed the recipe and ingredient list, and a coupon on a future class. I recommend a class if you have time.

I've had a wonderful experience with Sur La Table's Cooking Classes and wanted to write this…read morepositive review. I'm glad I found out about the cooking classes when I just happened to be in the store. There was a schedule for that month posted on the back wall near the restrooms. I immediately wanted to take a baking class then ended up taking several classes like Knife Skills, Intro to Sushi, Delicious Dim Sum, Tamale Making just to name a few. When I was inside the store, the staff were always very friendly and helpful. The chefs were consistently amazing to learn from. They were great with walking the class through the steps and answering our questions at the same time. I loved their team approach...having us work in a group or in a pair depending on the capacity in the kitchen. An added bonus was taking the recipes home. I remember a few years back it was nice to sit down as a class, eat together and socialize; but nowadays, I noticed we've been taking our dishes home. I wonder if it recently went back to how it was originally. Anyway, I always had a fun time cooking, learning something new and meeting people. Thank you Sur La Table for contributing to my cooking journey :-)

Enjoyed the "sidewalk" shop vibe. Baked goods looked yummy. We had a chocolate croissant which was a solid four-stars. Might have been tastier warm. What we didn't like: When we travel, we try a new, independent coffee shop daily in search of the best mochas. Other Yelpers had positive experiences with the espresso drinks here. We were underwhelmed. Our mocha was a two-star. Lacking in both a rich coffee or chocolate taste. Not sweet at all, though we prefer the darker chocolate, lightly sweet taste. The drink was weak and watery; lacked that rich, velvety taste of a mocha. The homemade granola looked good and we bought a bag to add to morning yogurt. If you choose to visit, come for the pastries and food, not the coffee.

I hesitated on booking a cooking class for a long time. You know how it is. You stare at the price,…read moreyou do the math, you think "I could just go eat sushi." And that's where most people screw up, because eating out you can blow a pile of money and walk away with nothing but a receipt and a vague feeling you got hustled. Then I pulled the trigger on Chef Krong for my birthday. Best decision I made all year. Here's the thing nobody tells you about cooking classes: a good one isn't about the food, it's about what your kids walk away knowing. And let me tell you, my kids LEARNED. Real, actual hard skills. Not "we waved some seaweed around" skills. A week later they made a mountain of sushi entirely on their own. Unprompted. Voluntarily. If you've got kids, you know that's basically witchcraft. Chef Krong made the whole thing a hit. She's patient, she's a real teacher, and she turns your kitchen into the best restaurant in town for an evening. You bring her into your house and suddenly everybody's happy, everybody's involved, and you're eating better than any place that's gonna stick a $14 cocktail on your tab. Money well spent doesn't even cover it. This is one of those rare deals where you pay for something and it actually keeps paying you back. We are absolutely doing another session. Huge recommendation. Stop staring at the price. Book it.
