Dear Yelp Community,…read more I stopped in today (been here before) and was coffee open house (just my luck)! A friendly staff member made me a flat white on a Jura machine (from Switzerland); the kind with images of the different coffee drinks on the screen to select from. As an aside, good clearance section in the back of the store. Enjoy, and well wishes. Sincerely, Anna Gabriele +1 760.237.0205

We purchased the Sur La Table Rectangular Stoneware Casserole with Lid, 4 qt. in July 2024 from the…read moreNewport Beach, CA store. After cooking a casserole in the oven, the bottom of the pan cracked in a large circle visible on the inside and outside of the pan. I took the pan to the Newport Beach store where I was informed by the collective of 3 Sur la Table employees at the register that Sur La Table only has a 30 day return policy. I'm not returning this item because I'm unsatisfied with it, (it's a great pan). This falls into the Sur la Table Lifetime Warranty classification whereas this product is defective and should last YEARS...not 18 months. I have cheap Pyrex dishes that are 20 years old and have never cracked. Of all products sold at Sur La Table, I would think they would stand behind their warranty for a white labeled product, especially if defective. Since their store clerks cannot distinguish between the 30-day return policy and a lifetime warranty issue, I raised this issue one last time with their customer service department to see if they would make the effort to accommodate a loyal customer. Needless to say...the response was the same from their online customer service team. I'm DONE with Sur la table! If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Worst experience EVER and will now purchase kitchen and household items from Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn only!

We were lucky enough to take part in a Zoom Virtual Cooking Class with Alexis and it was fabulous!…read moreNot only was it SO much fun but a portion of the cost was donated to some very worthy causes. Alexis is a chef with impeccable taste and a heart of gold! We prepared a Goat Cheese Crostini as an appetizer, Vegetarian Crispy Rice Bowls for our main and a decadent Berry Compote for dessert. We were able to use our own pots and pans and Alexis kept it simple enough where we never felt over our heads. I'd recommend this to families looking for a bonding activity, companies looking for ways to connect their employees or friends who are looking to get boozy while cooking up a delicious meal! (that was us! ;) THANK YOU, ALEXIS!!!

The instructions were clear and easy and Alexis gave great feedback when problems came up. Now I make it every single week and it is my favorite dish! Amazing! Would definitely recommend!

I was nervous about signing up for the home cook course, felt vulnerable in a new environment in…read morewhich I had no skills or training in. I can't recommend this beginner course enough. Even after the 1st day my meals at home were suddenly consistent and significantly better. 12 weeks later and I am confidently relaxed in my kitchen. I enjoy the ease that I feel now; from preparing dinner, menu planning, temp control, and little tips you just can't learn on google. Learning in person from Chef Jason and Chef Ben with a group of funny, eager, and caring adults has really shaped how I can give back to my family. This was the common denominator for all the students in our course. We wanted to learn a new skill to share with the ones we care about most, our families. "I haven't made a sh**** meal since day one of this course" - quote from my fiancé Take the leap and invest in yourself and your family plus laughing about it along the way is always a plus.

I am a home cook that wanted to deeper dive into cooking and to learn some new skills. I had a…read moregreat experience in the beginner cooking class at Culinary lab. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The class covered all the bases of what you could learn in a beginners cooking class. From potion, to fish, to veggies, to knifes skills it is a good balance. The pace was not too fast but not too slow. We would learn about a subject, watch the chef cook it and then do it ourselves. I really liked my chef instructor explained things thoroughly but not overly controlling. One of the best parts is you got to take your a recipe sheet home with everything you learned that day and the food that you made, my husband and my kids always loved that. Over all it was a great experience and I will be back for more classes!

If you're intimidated about making a sourdough starter or sourdough bread, then you need to take…read morethis class. Taleen simplifies the entire process so it feels totally doable. We actually made our own starter and mixed up a loaf to take home and bake the next day. She demonstrates each step clearly and then has everyone follow along, so you never feel lost. She also provides all the tools and ingredients, which makes it easy to just show up and learn. The class is relaxed, informative, and perfect for beginners. I highly recommend for anyone who's been wanting to try sourdough but might feel overwhelmed by "feeding" your starter; Taleen has a simple process for this to allow us time to get used to the art of making sourdough. I'm so glad I took this class, I left with the confidence and knowledge to take care of my starter and continue to make my own sourdough at home.

I attended a sourdough bread making workshop and was very impressed with Thaleen's knowledge,…read morepatience and friendly demeanor. She took time to explain each step of making sourdough from beginning to end and had no problem any and all questions, even when certain individuals interrupted her instruction, she was patient and gently went back to teaching. I had fun as well. I am looking forward to a workshop for advanced bakers.

I tell my friends about this place all the time. I loved how passionate the owners were. They would close the place down for like a few months just to go to Europe to learn more. You must try this place if you live in the area or driving by. Check it out. If I was living back there I would go for the cooking classes.

Duck Confit and cassoulet....was my favorite meal at Rick and Diana's restaurant, Black Sheep…read moreBistro. I cried when they closed. Now Rick has created an AMAZING cooking class for up to twelve people. It is really a "hands on" experience that tastes just as good as the restaurant served. I asked a friend who has a bigger kitchen than mine to "host" the event. Each person paid $40 to cover the cost of the class and the cheese and crackers served before the lesson started. Rick is extremely organized and had done all the prep work, i.e. soaking the beans. He got everyone involved, including a man who had never cut up a duck before. We were served duck four different ways, including an appetizer, a salad and the DELICIOUS main course. Each couple got to take home leftovers which were even better the next day. Even more incredible was that Rick and Diana washed all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before they left !!!!! This event has been the talk of our group!!!! We plan on having them prepare dinner for us again soon !!!

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.
