*I am updating my review as Classpop finally got in touch with me and refunded.* I booked a class Paint with Sip through Classpop but the class got canceled due to some reason. I have been trying to reach out to Classpop for the refund but they are just not responding to my emails or calls. This is unacceptable. I expect a response and refund because it was not my fault that the class got canceled. read more

I prepaid for a class of 17 for a "Chocolate Truffle Making Class" in Atlanta, GA 6-8 weeks prior to the date of the class. I sent out invitations to some of my best customers. The night before the class was to take place, I received notification that there was a "time" change...to the next week. That is not a time change, that is a DATE change - which is something else entirely. Oh, and I don't live in Atlanta...I flew in for this event. Needless to say, the class was cancelled as they had nothing else to offer me as a substitute. Not using CLASSPOP ever again. read more

We attended Chef Harold's Sushi 101 course. This was a small group session that was held at Long Live Beerworks 152 Hampden Street Boston, MA 02119. Chef Harold was extremely informative and a great instructor. We really appreciated his time and attention to all of our questions. The only downside was initially. The music was pretty loud in the venue and it was hard to hear what the chef was saying. Eventually it was turned down and everything was so fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The venue was also very good with service at the counter. Their selection of brews was quite delightful! read more

I purchased an experience in Milwaukee as a Christmas present. I purchased and paid for the experience. 1 month later I receive a text that says my experience was canceled and to check my email for details. No email. Call classpop to find out they have not sent an email and once I called will process my refund, unsure how long it will take to get my $150 back. Poor service, poor choice of company to set the experience up as I originally booked through Viator. Which additionally, Classpop doesn't use the same booking or confirmation numbers as. Frustrating and now back to the drawing board for a unique and fun gift! read more

Great venue! She was so prepared and very thorough in her presentation and used quality items. She had alot of information that I had not been able to find on my own. She was terrific and I would be proud interested on any future classroom she had ! read more

We were given a Classpop! Signature Cooking Class Groupon for $198. My husband and I participated in the Green Curry Thai class that was $50 per person, leaving a balance of $98. Classpop!'s response is: "Groupon vouchers may only be redeemed once. The value of the Groupon voucher is not a dollar amount but rather an exchange for the number of seats for signature classes." The person who gave this to us was extremely embarrassed. This debacle reminded me why I stopped using Groupon several years ago. A rip off if not false advertising. read more

False advertising this is not a "hands on experience" you just sit on a table and watch someone cook , It's slow it's boring , download a YouTube video best. don't waste your money .. it's not what they offer .. or advertise read more

I bought my husband a pasta making class for Christmas and we both absolutely loved it. Chef Stefano was amazing and the process of attending the class through Classpop was extremely easy. The value is so great too, without even having to leave your home. We are going to try to pick a class once a month. Such a fun date night in! read more

This was such a fun time and 1000% would return with friends, Chef Val was superb and made the night one to remember!

Lovely meal with Chef Nyjal. So much food and every dish was delicious. Chef Nyjal was personable and pleasant. Really enjoyed the class. read more

Awful experience from the start (Classpop NY/ NJ). In December 2024 I bought $250 in gift cards for a specific at home private chef sushi making class. As a promotion I got a $25 gift card bonus which is why I bought the certificates. I specifically chose that amount as the class was going to be $275 so I could use all the gift cards and $25 of it was free. I booked the class, and three days later the chef said no it was too far away. This was the only class I wanted to do, specifically sushi making. I told the chef she was putting me in an awkward spot because I had already bought the gift cards, and now couldnt use them. She basically said oh well, take it up with Classpop. I contacted Classpop and asked if I could get my money back as it wasnt my fault the chef cancelled on me. And they said gift cards are not refundable tough luck. So....I booked a second choice Thai private chef class in my own home which was $225. All the in person classes they had were in the city which is like 1.5 hours from me and I didnt want to go there. She accepted the booking back in December 2024 having seen my address as I had to send my address for her to deny or accept the booking (this is when the first chef denied so I thought I was all set and in the clear at this point.) She, chef Mary, communicated with me a couple times between December and the date of the class February 27th 2025. She confirmed booking and participants, another asking food allergies etc and a final confirmation of see you tomorrow type thing. THEN 10:00 am the MORNING OF THE CLASS, Chef Mary sends me a message requesting another $30 fee for transportation. No other message, no sorry I just realized Im an hour away etc. Just send $30 for transportation fee. I was livid, she had 2 months she could have sent this and she waits until the day of the class!!!??? (Which by the way was my boyfriends birthday so not like I can just cancel at this point.) By now the promotional $25 gift card I had had expired last week on 2/15/25 so I couldnt even use that. I called Classpop, and they were like well she should have asked sooner, but yeh tough luck. I said had she asked sooner I could have used the additional certificate, because god knows Im NEVER booking with these people again, but now it expired. Angelica said shes ask her manager and get back to me. After 2 hours, she hadnt so I called again and I said look.... Im not against the additional fee, Im against the fact she asked for it today, 2 months after I booked it, and the day of the class, basically making it impossible for me to make a different choice. And now this certificate is expired. Take the $25 expired certificate amount, Ill give you an additional $5 from the original gift card balance and I never want to deal with your company ever again! I had also messaged chef Mary back explaining I was upset she was asking for additional money the day of the class, versus anytime during the last 2 months and that I wasnt getting any help from customer service. Her reply was, "well none of my other clients ever had a problem with me requesting an additional transportation fee." I told her, it wasnt the fee perse it was the fact she asked the day of the class!!! Ridiculous process from start to finish. So now Im out another $30. I still have $20 of the original certificate left which I WILL NEVER USE!!!! read more

They offer sushi making classes on Groupon, but they aren't good for the sushi making class because they aren't good for the premier classes, only basic (signature). They even responded to someone else's complain confirming that, but continue with the false offer. Then when I called *and emailed with a courteous message because I'd already purchased it, they never responded read more

Great class with Chef Antonio! Will definitely be back for more classes. My kids enjoy the hands on, we had a great time. read more

Paid for a course that they are not currently offering. They should communicate better with Groupon if they're going to cancel/suspend classes. read more

This was such a fun class. The chef was so personable. He took his time and made sure we were doing everything well. The food came out tasting amazing. I can't wait to make this dish again. I would definitely take another one of these classes. It was a great couple's activity. The key is to do all the recommended prep work (they email this to you). It makes it easy to keep up. read more

we signed up for the Wagyu Spread class with traveling Chef Harold. He arrived at our home with everything needed to prepare a variety of dishes, all featuring the Japanese Wagyu beef. Chef Harold directed us in how to prepare Egg Drop Soup, hand-rolled sushi, delicious sandwiches, and a soba noodle stir fry. He even made a surprise surf and turf sushi roll and had a mini chocolate prepared for dessert. Chef Harold was punctual, efficient and fun to work with. We highly recommend his class! read more

He was the best, You can just tell hE loves what he does! Thank you Chef Landi! read more

Called 800-385-0675 and keep getting "Sorry. No one is available to take your call." I have a "Golden Apron" Gift Card bought just before the pandemic. Apparently, "Golden Apron" became "Classpop!" but I can't confirm that and I can't get anyone from Classpop! to answer the phone. Also, sent an email through the Classpop! website. I hope they will get in touch with me. How do I get my money back? read more

I purchased the Savory Nepalese Menu as a gift to my children. They were both a bit skeptic but had a truly lovely time. The instructor, Chef Shallini is incredibly warm and deeply knowledgeable and it quickly feels like cooking with your beautiful worldly aunt. The food was incredibly tasty and it was great to see the process and learn about the dishes and the culinary tradition of Nepal. Wonderful class would recommend if you love Nepali food and also as a great introduction to the cuisine. Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

Not happy in Phoenix. I decided a cooking class 3 months in advance would be a nice gift for my girlfriend whose idea of spending time together is more important than any physical gift. Well I get an email saying our class is cancelled please respond to this email with your choice of another class. Fine except when I emailed back I've gotten no response 24 hours later. Oh BTW my girl had to request in advance the day off another reason I chose a class so far out. I've asked for my $98.00 back let's see how long this takes. I'm willing to be more understanding if I could get some customer service in a timely manner. I did receive help on the same day I wrote this review and am satisfied with the care shown and hope to be able to attend a class in the future. read more

Chef Harold arrived and begin with a short story of how he became a Sushi Chef!! My son and I loved hearing about his journey and when he started with the lesson it showed his love of he does. We began with a miso soup (best I ever had, honestly) followed with a lesson on a simple shrimp tempura roll - things taste so much better when they are fresh and made to order (get it). Chef Harold followed up with very clear directions and an example to make a California Roll and a Spicy Tuna Roll - oh wait I almost forgot about the Sushi Taco with spicy mango salsa. While it was simple - the flavor bursting through was not. I would HIGHLY recommend you booking Chef Harold if you want to learn to make Sushi and as he said - eat everything you make!! I look forward to expanding my Sushi making skills after this lesson and attempting to make the Sushi Taco. My son and I had a great time and look forward to another opportunity to learn from Chef Harold!!!! read more

We did a pasta cooking class with a group of friends and it was a blast. We were able to hang out with our friends while learning to cook fresh pasta. The chef was friendly and fun, and the food we made was amazing. Will definitely do it again in the future read more

My husband and I took a sushi making class in Dallas. I guess I just didn't understand the classes are held wherever, whenever, regardless of what else may be happening in the space or if there is access to clean running water without having to go into a bar bathroom. Let me be clear, I think Chef Chris did fine for the situation, but the class was WEIRD. We made sushi. In a bar. On high top tables. While other events were going on. It felt unsanitary and awkward to be there. No one had to wash their hands, things were just being passed around and left on tables, and nothing looked prepared. I watched chef Chris take the fish out of packing, so at least I know that was fresh and safe, but I was expecting a much more polished experience. When I say other events were going on, I mean there was an engagement party going on in the bar and it was so loud I could not hear what Chris had to say unless he was speaking directly to me and my husband. That led to a lot of disjointed conversation. He began the class by saying he was tired and that he worked a lot. He did not ask us to introduce ourselves or encourage any "group class" experience, though to be fair that would have been difficult because of the noise level. Every couple was at their own table doing their own thing. Over all, I took a cooking class to have a fun date night where I felt like I learned something in an interactive way, but sadly I did not experience that. Go to Sur La Table if you want a professional feeling class. read more

We took the sushi class with Chef Harold and it was awesome! We're so excited to practice making sushi at home! The best part is that you eat what you make, so we had a great dinner made with fresh ingredients. I would highly recommend this class read more

Chef Ridic was awesome! He was kind, easy to talk to, and open to feedback. He taught us the basics of how to prepare each course and then let us do the rest ourselves with some help from him. It was great having a cooking class come to us. I'd definitely use Class Pop and Chef Ridic again. read more

I was really excited for this, but it was a very disappointing experience. I did a pasta class with Chef Antonio in Cambridge last night. He was a really nice and charismatic guy, but the structure of the class was a disaster. There were easily 25 people there with one 2x5' table so we had to stand around waiting for an hour until we could make a couple pieces of pasta, with no instruction. We didn't get to cook or eat them because it was so crowded. We ended up leaving early because we did more watching of the Celtics game than cooking of ravioli - I mean, we were lucky the Celtics game was on otherwise we would've been staring at the floor. Maybe this is worth $10, but $50?!? Seriously?!?! That didn't even include a drink. This was a sham. Do not recommend!! read more

Our very sweet friends invited me and my husband to try Golden Apron. We learned how to make gnocchi from scratch, the end product was absolutely delicious and so were the tomato and basil sauces! I'd love to try another class. read more

I participated in a ClassPop! event for team trivia and it was so much fun! Throughout the last couple of years I have done a lot of virtual trivia and I thought this setup was the best one I've experienced.
