What a fun virtual French crepe cooking class with Danielle and Lily from Michel et Augustin…read moreon...Instagram. If you would have told me that I would be doing a cooking class this summer on Instagram, I would not have believed you. Now, I would recommend bookmarking the summer series, Baking With Our Buds. If you miss an "episode", you could still follow the recipes that are posted on their Instagram. Crepes have always seemed exacting to me. Danielle and Lily were the perfect team to learn how to cook a family recipe that we all successfully muddled through together. Loved how the chefs on the "call" gave helpful baking tips along the way. Helpful Hints- Whisk the eggs, milk and water, then add the melted butter Whisk the flour, sugar and a pinch of sea salt Slowly add the dry ingredients by 1/3 increments to the wet ingredients and continue to whisk Add the beer, watch it bubble and the wait an hour for the magic to happen The batter will be thin Butter your pan Use a ladle to pour the batter onto a hot skillet Have fun with sweet or savory fillings. We did a combination of both. Mushrooms, broccoli, arugula and havarti or arugula, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and a fried egg were the favorite savory options. Nutella and banana or grilled peaches, blueberries and ricotta with powdered sugar were the dessert top choices in our home kitchen. Would be great with Brie and apples or a smoked salmon combination as well. The combinations are endless. Merci to Danielle and Lily at Michel et Augustin for a delicious, healthy summer meal. Can't wait to bake with you again and good luck with the nationwide launch of your cookies into the Whole Foods Markets. Bon Appetit!

She's exactly the type of person you want to work with! Somehow Chef Naomi made our menu (which consisted of dips, seasonal veggies, grilled cheese, fish tacos, tomato soup shooters and more) seem extremely elevated on par with a five star restaurant! She was patient with us when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and always treated us with grace, respect and a lot of love! Her food is made with great heart and cooking expertise! Only pro-tip: we had a lot of leftovers (which we absolutely loved!) but were under prepared with tupperwear containers and space in our fridge - make sure to make room, you'll want to feast on the nourishment of her food for months after!

Not only were they accommodating under a tight turnaround, but the quality did not suffer one bit--every cupcake was fresh, beautifully decorated, and delicious. Akim was responsive, professional, and clearly committed to getting every detail right, even with the pressure of a large, time sensitive order. It's not easy to execute something of that scale on short notice, and they exceeded expectations across the board. Highly recommend them for both large events and everyday treats. We'll definitely be ordering again.

overall pretty decent, the food is like others said a bit bland but overall not bad…read more teriyaki chicken bowl tasted a bit off to me, feels like they didn't use enough teriyaki or it was a watery sauce but it didn't have much flavor and the rice was disappointing. kind of those big, overly fluffy yet kinda dry grains, not really sushi grade or anything close which i usually prefer in dishes like this. same was true for the fried rice ball, which wasn't crispy or sticky. the fries were also pretty bland, but crispiness and cut were so good! just needs a bit more salt, bit more flavor. mint yuzu lemonade was DELICIOUS it's just sweet enough and just concentrated enough. very fresh and yummy 10/10 yuzu cheesecake was also pretty good, though the texture's more whipped than usual cheesecake and a bit grainy, which i assume comes from the yuzu. which it had more crust but still great! so yes overall not bad but i probably wouldn't get anything rice-reliant and adding salt helps a lot

A very bright, airy space with a few tables. I liked that you can get a little treat such as a small cookie or something more substantial (sweet or savoury).

It is a charming bakery in Carroll Gardens serving artisan French pastries and desserts, curated by Chef Ariana Barkin. Everything here is beautifully crafted. It's a quiet, relaxing café for getting work done on a weekday. I've already been to Atelier Ariana twice in a month. The staff couldn't have been sweeter. Big shoutout to Caroline for walking me through the menu and giving me great recs every time I visit. ＊Croissant $5 I could totally taste how fresh it was. Even at room temperature, it was still very flaky. The center was different from typical croissants, it was softer and fluffier, and wasn't overwhelmingly buttery either. It's a croissant I'd love to eat every day. ＊Strawberry Cake $6 I went with their spring special. The cake was filled with fresh strawberries and layered with jam, while the butter cake was incredibly moist and rich. So obsessed. ＊Gruyere and Rosemary Torsade $6 So aromatic and crunchy! I enjoyed the rosemary flavor. A solid savory pastry choice for breakfast. ＊Gateau Marbre $4 Highly recommended by Ariana and Caroline, I gave it a try and WOW, I got the hype! Imagine a fudgy and gooey brownie but better -- they blended hot fudge while making it. ＊Orange Almond Cake $3 Citrusy cake with a dense and moist texture, and it was gluten free! ＊Apricot Cookie, Strawberry Cookie $1.5/pc Seasonal cookies garnished with fruit jam. Fruity, bright, and buttery mini bites for summer. ＊Latte w. Oat Milk $5.9 The latte art really made my day. You don't usually get a solid latte at a bakery. The milk was well steamed, and the espresso-to-milk ratio was just right. The price even included alternative milk, which was a nice bonus.

This place is clean and has plenty of work station for a class. I was in a class of 8 but they can fit much much more. The kitchen offers classes almost every night and I heard they get booked packed most of time. Check their website for more information on what classes available and great date idea. So far I learned to make cookie, pita bread and hummus. I ate plenty of them but never know how to make it. They are pretty time consuming. Overall a great experience and had ton of fun.
