What a great, fun experience. My grandson has bern really interested in cooking so I decided to try the 2 hour cavatelli class here at Hipcooks. Sarah was entertaining, warm, welcoming, encouraging and a great instructor. Made the class so much fun and my grandson couldn't not stop talking about how much he learned in a 2 hour class. The school itself is small but neat, clean and vibrant. Everyone participated in making the meal and sitting down together to enjoy it. I generally do not enjoy classes that are structured like this, but in this case, everyone was able to participate in all aspects and all portions of each dish if they wanted. My previous experience has been that each team makes one part of the meal and it gets assembled at the end prior to eating. I always felt I was not getting a full experience that way. This was structured differently and it absolutely made the experience so much more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to take another class there. Thank you again Sarah for making this such a great experience. read more

Just took a cooking class with Sarah with my dad and it ended up being way more fun than I expected. I thought it would be cool, but it turned into one of those random memories you're actually glad you made. Sarah is super informative and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. She's also genuinely funny, which made the whole class feel relaxed instead of awkward or stiff. The energy was great the whole time. She kept everyone involved, made it easy to ask questions, and somehow kept things fun even when we were getting hungry and lowkey impatient for the food. My dad and I were laughing most of the time, and it didn't feel forced or corny at all. The food turned out amazing, which I honestly didn't expect because... well... it was us cooking. But Sarah gives little tips and tricks that actually work, so everything came out way better than expected. We left full, happy, and feeling like we actually learned something instead of just following instructions blindly. Super fun experience to do with my dad, and I'd 100% recommend Sarah's class if you want to learn, laugh, and eat really good food at the same time. read more

I found this place through instagram and decided to reserve a spot for the Eye of the Thai-ger cooking class. There was a total of 14 people including myself. Each student got a chance to participate in cooking parts of all the dishes. I really like that when we ate the dishes it was on a communal table, which made it feel a lot more personal. The instructor provided many cooking tips and educational information about the dishes during the class. I would definitely come back again. The food we cooked was delicious! read more

We had a team-building dinner for work at Hipcooks OC and had a great time. Sara and her team presented the "fan favorites" menu for us, and walked us through each of the dishes (string beans + potato salad, polenta, chicken thighs over sweated tomatoes and onions, and a Devil's food cake). We each had the opportunity to participate, but also had plenty of time to hang out and spend time with each other. We had several participants with food allergies and the team made sure to accommodate their needs. Sara taught us about the techniques she was using and also provided the recipes so we can try on our own. We all had a great time in a relaxed, welcoming and warm atmosphere, and sharing a meal family-style. Thank you! read more

My mom got me this class for my birthday, and we did it together which was so fun and easy! The class was the "don't cry for me Argentina" which of course was Argentinean food. We made chimichuri for the steaks that we cooked, ricotta stuffed zucchini bites, empanadas, and for dessert dulce de leche mousse. For drinks we made a white sangria and a glass of red wine was served with dinner! Everything was so delicious and easy to make! Smaller classes about 15 ppl and they walk us through everything! Definitely need to be a little assertive if you want to do something within the class as there are a few ppl per cutting board. I was soooo full by the end as we tried things as we went along cooking it! 100% recommend and would LOVE to come back! read more

Kyrsten was an incredible instructor for the risotto class!! I got this class as an early christmas gift for my dad. We came all the way from San Diego and had a great time. We learned a lot of skills- even things my dad had no idea about! We made incredible food, the other people with us in the class were very kind and friendly. There were 8 of us total, but Kyrsten did a great job dividing her time and making sure to answer all of our questions. Personally, I'm a very picky eater but I decided to be open minded and try everything, and I was surprised at how many things I liked! I would definitely take another Hipcooks class again:) read more

Had a really nice night out here making healthy food with zing. We were able to make tuna with a mango salsa, roasted pepper soup with pesto and sorbet. I am a dummy when it comes to knife skills and the instructor was so helpful. She kept trying and I kept messing up. A normal person would give up and she was so determined to improve my bad habits. I love to cook and appreciate making a healthy meal especially at the start of year. Everything was delicious! The instructor gave us so many good tips and i learned a lot. It was nice to get to cook with a group and get to know other people in class. Check this place out they have so many types of classes not just healthy ones.

The experience was…read moreintimate, warm, and beautifully executed from start to finish...every dish told a story and every detail felt intentional. We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course. I'll absolutely be attending her future chef's table events, a beautiful evening of intentional cooking, soulful flavors, and gracious hospitality.

I have attended several classes at your establishment and have always had a welcoming, positive experience. Unfortunately, tonight's experience was the opposite of what I have come to expect. Our chef appeared ill-prepared for the class, which led to a disorganized environment. Furthermore, the chef was unnecessarily aggressive and yelled at participants when they were ahead of his instructions or, in my case, when I misunderstood a direction. This created a stressful, uncomfortable atmosphere rather than a fun, educational experience, which is not what we paid for. Additionally, due to the poor flow of the class, our food was cold by the time it was served to eat. I also observed that the support staff working with him appeared miserable, likely due to the stressful environment created by the chef. I believe this is important feedback for your team to address to maintain your usual high standards of service. I hope you will take steps to better prepare your instructors regarding both their preparation and their customer service skills. Given the nature of the experience, I would appreciate a response regarding how you plan to handle this situation. Sincerely, Theresa Smith

Instead, we were suddenly rushed to wrap everything up, and our birthday cake was not even finished. A staff member came over and told us, "You have to leave RIGHT NOW, the party has arrived," and we were essentially forced out to make room for the next group. This was especially upsetting because the cake was for a birthday and the experience meant a lot to us. What should have been a fun celebration ended in unnecessary stress and disappointment.

Even after just a few days, our little one has adjusted so much better than we imagined. The owner and staff have been patient, caring, and supportive during the transition. We were honestly amazed that he was able to nap in a sleeping bag alongside the other children, especially since he normally has a very specific routine at home. It almost felt like magic! We know it's still early, but we're so grateful for the care, attention, and reassurance we've received. It's such a relief to see our child feeling comfortable, safe, and excited to go to daycare.

Elle and Azie made the transition to daycare so seamless and provided an abundance of updates about our son's progression to make us completely comfortable. We love the daily updates of the activities that they work on - the crafts are the cutest and really show intention in what the class is learning everyday. The activities are all rooted in some type of development and we love seeing all of the creativity that goes into making each day different and fun. Our son loves outdoor play and the playground set up is really great. Plenty of space and age appropriate toys outside to release his wiggles during their outdoor time. We are truly so fortunate to have found someplace as special as Little Angels! The entire staff takes health and safety seriously and we appreciate all of the coordination and attention to detail. We are so thankful and look forward to bringing our daughter to Little Angels to join our son in the future!

The director Ms.Cathy is the sweetest person as well.. If I have any issues with anything, she always makes sure things are taken care of. They have great hours with 6pm closing time vs most schools/daycare close at 5pm. They work with whatever schedule u need as well whether it's full time, part time, half days, and even 1 day a week if u really need to... The location is great because they're right off the 22fwy as well. They have "pizza Friday" and my daughter enjoys that too. My daughter loves it and made lots of friends. They also help with potty training as well so that's a plus! I could go on with how good this place is but you'd have to go experience it yourself..

It has been almost a year now and my girls look forward to their swim lesson every week (and getting their sticker at the end of their lessons). Their instructors are patient and kind and make my girls feel comfortable and safe in the water.

After a really negative experience at…read moreanother swim program (Aquatots), my daughter was left scared and resistant to getting in the water. A friend recommended Blue Buoy, and I am SO glad we gave it a try. From the very first trial class with Coach Turner, my daughter felt comfortable and safe. She usually hates putting her head in the water, but with his gentle guidance and encouragement, she did it without hesitation--something I never thought I'd see so soon! We've now been coming for 2 months, and the progress she has made is incredible. Not only has her confidence grown, but her skills in the water have improved so much. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids. The environment feels warm and supportive, which makes all the difference. Coach turner really knows how to work with the kiddos ! If you're looking for a swim school that builds trust, confidence, and real results, Blue Buoy is the place to go. I'm so thankful we found them!

Everyone is kind, caring, and you can tell they love what they do. The facility is extremely clean, and the viewing area is the best I've seen. The huge glass window makes you feel like you're right there with your child. What means the most to me is how they work with my son, who is level 3 autistic and loves the water. Their lead instructor, Norma, is incredible. She specializes in working with kids on the spectrum and handles my son with so much patience, calmness, and positivity, even when his behavior can be challenging. It gives me real peace of mind. She is a 10 out of 10. At the same time, my other 4 year old has moved up four levels in just six months and is now swim safe. Big thank you to the managers, Shaan and Raj, who are always accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a swim school that truly understands and supports children on the autism spectrum, I highly recommend Goldfish.

Goldfish is great! One of my favorite things about them is their customer service, which has been…read moreexceptional. Every time I call, text, or speak to someone in person, they are kind, friendly, positive, upbeat, and understanding. My son loves the pool and seeing Bubbles the Goldfish everywhere (and the turtle). The whole facility is very cute and clean. They have plenty of dressing rooms and bathroom stalls, a vanity with hairdryers, cotton swabs, and hair ties, showers on the pool deck with body wash, a fish tank, and a kids table with magnatiles, crayons, and blocks. The class sizes are small (6 students in Mini classes) and well-paced. The water is very warm and the instructors are encouraging and understanding. My son mostly just wants to play with the balls and barbell floatie so we like that toys are incorporated. They have a lot of membership options (month to month, seasonal packages, etc) and were very easy to reschedule with when needed. Parking can be limited in the evenings because of the surrounding businesses so plan accordingly. Happy swimming!

She was very kind and graceful as I navigated the app and many schedules of the household over the phone. She thoroughly explained the current promo they have going on right now and ultimately got us all signed up for what we needed. We had our free trial class with Chris last week and I was so pleased with how friendly, soft-spoken, and patient he was with my son. My son didn't even want to go into the water for the first 10 min of the 30 min class, and Chris just continued to ask if he was ready, all the while still holding lesson and staying attentive to the other child who was in the same class. Eventually, my kiddo felt confident enough to join in and by the end of the session he was having an absolute blast. We are looking forward to continuing our swim journey here with this crew!

Super special shout out to Christian, who is her main instructor. He's been so patience and aware of all of his students. Also, Perry and other substitute instructors are just as great, which ensures consistency. The facility is well maintained and very clean.
