L'Academie Baking & Cooking School

My wife and I went here for a date night and we both loved it! What a fun experience. The staff treats you like family and you learn some new skills for the kitchen. Give this place a try. We will totally be going back.

What a fun experience! I came here for the cinnamon roll class and it was phenomenal. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. This was a great recipe to learn if you are short on time or don't have yeast handy. The owner was very energetic and made this class interesting and exciting!

Not only do I love L'Academie but my daughter does as well!Chef Dan and his team are incredibly patient and kind when it comes to both adults and children in the kitchen. My daughter has attended several cooking camps and workshops over the summer and breaks from school. She always has a great time despite the fact that she is painfully shy.I have hosted birthday parties here and have attended numerous classes. If you were looking for a fun date night or adult birthday party I highly recommend L'Academie

What a terrific experience! A friend and I went to "Two Braided Breads", where we made chocolate babka and rum raisin bread. Chef Dan was fabulously organized. Class size was intimate (appears to be around a dozen people maximum, with two per prep table) and the kitchen classroom functioned like a well-oiled machine. We worked on both breads simultaneously -- first, making the rum raisin bread dough and then setting it aside to proof for 30 minutes, then Chef Dan brought out the babka dough (which needed to rise overnight). Because we weren't able to prep the babka dough ourselves, Chef Dan made an example batch of to show us so we could ask any questions about it. There's a TV screen set up above Chef Dan that has a video camera on the countertop he works on, so that everyone in the kitchen classroom can clearly see what he is doing. The timing of the class was excellent -- we worked on the babka while the rum raisin bread proofed, and then finished the rum raisin bread while the babka baked, then decorated the babka while the rum raisin bread baked... The kitchen classroom was extremely clean, organized, and a staff member periodically came by to clean up any discarded utensils. Finally, Chef Dan sliced up the example babka and rum raisin bread he made and served us all slices of them, so that we would be able to try the breads without cutting our own breads that we were going to take home. We were given take-home instructions if we wanted to recreate either bread. My one recommendation would be for folks to remember to bring take-home boxes -- they are clear to recommend you bring them when you reserve tickets online, but my friend and I forgot. They have take-home boxes available for $1 at the kitchen classroom as well. We were extremely satisfied and will absolutely return!

Excellent date night class, fun and friendly instructor, easygoing evening definitely worth repeating!

TERRIBLE place chef Paul has no idea what he's doing do not go here!!!! He used no seasoning insulted us the whole time and didn't even prepare the whole menu for us that we paid for. Hated every bite of that and everyone was asking for salt.

phenomenal evening with Chef Paul! a whole new adventure with cooking, great food, humor and good times. A can't miss opportunity. once you go, you'll want to get to a date night with good friends!Andy & Mitch

Great experience! Had fun and Learned how to bake some wonderful bread. Great place for a date night.

Food wasn't that great and didn't actually cook much. I can't say I actually learned anything except for taking home a recipe that I could find online somewhere.

Gifted my boyfriend this class for Christmas and it was so fun! It was a very easy going class and the instructors were so great. I would come back 100%! We did the sushi date night :)
