I placed a custom cookie order with Chubby Heart Cookies in 2024 for a milestone birthday. A down…read morepayment of half the order was provided, pursuant to Laurie English's terms, and I was excited to work with her -- her cookies are beautiful. However, when I did not respond to an email within 48 hours on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND, there was no turning back for Laurie regardless of how apologetic I was. She behaved like she was paranoid, and she refused to complete the order. Our exchange was off-putting and bizarre. She is not the only talented cookie designer in the area, but she's the only small business I've worked with who: 1. Canceled an order on me (two weeks out from when my order was due); 2 Made strange claims that "her software" proved I saw her emails. She claimed I purposely ignored her. I'm shocked she has any business at all. Ordering cookies should not be this stressful or intense. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Disclaimer: This review is purely based off of my interactions when trying to book for a birthday…read moreparty. I am also leaving this review so that others do not have my experience and are not mislead. I was looking around at different options for my daughter's joint 8th and 9th birthday party. Last year we had their party at mocatinas and it was so impressive. I was trying to find something that would be equally as good. I found the Conche chocolate and cake studio and was interested in their party package. I contacted them and even on their Yelp page they advertise pictures of the parties in a private studio. We thought that was really awesome and wanted to do their cake pop making party. At no point during my discussion with their employee did they disclose that this party would not be at their private studio. There were so many chances they had to let me know during our conversations. I finally was given a contract by them and quoted over $800 for the party. We were happy to pay that but during that conversation I realized that it was casually mentioned it would be held in a restaurant. I paused right there and carefully re read everything. I made sure to ask questions and confirmed that not only would the party not be held in their private studio that the owner advertised on this very Yelp page, it would be held at a completely different restaurant. Not even the conche restaurant and no private at all. I think it's incredibly sneaky to charge someone $800 and not give a full disclaimer that this would not be held at the advertised location. Also in my personal opinion it's greedy. I told their employee I cannot justify paying that amount for a children's birthday party held in the corner of a restaurant open to the public. When initially it was advertised as private and even showed pictures. I called them out and said you do know that you have a private studio advertised right? They tried to come up with an alternative solution to put the kids in a "cramped room". While still charging $800 lol. No thank you. We have booked somewhere else. This sort of situation turns me off from even eating at their other restaurant. It's a complete lack of general care. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else and I really hope people read this review so they are aware that children's birthday parties are held at a random corner of a rest and not the advertised private space on this page.

After going through the first section, we entered the second and were about to continue into the final part when an employee unexpectedly stopped us. I was told I needed to leave because I had "touched the talent." This accusation surprised me -- it simply didn't happen. The area was pitch black, and I held onto my friend's arm to stay together, not reaching for or guiding anyone else. Regardless, we didn't want to cause a scene and decided to leave quietly. I wanted to share this because the situation was confusing and disappointing. We were really looking forward to the full experience and left feeling unfairly treated. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Taking a recreational class at Pizza University was hands-down one of the most enjoyable (and…read moretastiest) things we have experienced in a while. Our instructor, David D., was knowledgeable, super friendly, and clearly passionate about all things pizza ~ from pizza history to dough science to other fun pizza tips and secrets. The class was the perfect mix of hands-on learning and laid-back fun. We got to stretch dough like pros (well, semi-pros), experiment with toppings, and then, of course, enjoy the fruits of our labor .... which, not to brag, were delicious. Whether you're a total beginner or just a home cook looking to level up your pizza game, this class is a great time. You'll leave full of pizza, a little flour-covered, and very proud of your pie-making skills. Highly recommend for foodies, friend groups, or anyone who just really, really loves pizza!

After arriving and getting seated, I quickly picked up on the passion our teacher, David, had for pizza and the feeling was contagious. He gave us a brief overview of the origin and philosophy behind great pizza, and before we knew it, we were tossing pies in the oven. And boy... were they ever delicious! I will never forget that white pizza I made. Neither will my Dad, after my leftovers "disappeared." Look, I'm far from a good cook. But after the class, I left feeling confident that I could make a pizza from scratch at home. That says a lot! Our instructor answered every question with grace while being a warm source of encouragement throughout; which certainly helped. Life is about experiences, and this is one? Definitely one to remember. You owe it to yourself to check out Pizza University!
