My husband and I took the Southern Brunch class at Baltimore Chef Shop Sunday and had such a great…read moretime. We made breakfast sausage, buttermilk biscuits, chicken fried steak, country cream gravy, crispy hash browns, sunny side up eggs, fruit salad, and Texas sheet cake and somehow it all came together into an incredibly delicious meal. Chef Ted was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the class. At one point I was deep in ADHD overwhelm trying to keep up with the Texas sheet cake while everyone else seemed miles ahead, but Chef Ted and Madison (KA) stepped in, got me across the finish line and the cake turned out great!!!! The class was instructional and a little fast-paced in the best way. The two hours flew by!! It felt busy but never stressful, and sitting down to eat what we made together was the perfect payoff. Two thumbs (or forks?) way way up. Definitely recommend and would absolutely do another class!! We're already talking with friends about booking a private group night.

My crepe class with David was packed with fun! The structure of the crepe class was making a…read morevariety of crepe fillings, sweet and savory batters, cooking the crepes, and then eating everything you made as a group. Within the class there were about a dozen things to make. You are divided into 2 tables, with each table making everything. Personally, you make one or 2 things. I was assigned the savory crepe batter and the spinach filling. Then everyone took turns cooking a crepe or 2. In all the class was a blast! There were some minimal drawbacks. To start, I previously posted about them not honoring gift cards. I quickly removed that post and they corrected the problem. I am very satisfied with how that was handled after the fact, but the old gift card was not easy to use without working with the owner. I also had a few times in the class where I could not find items like spoons or ingredients easily. The class had a lead instructor and then a kitchen assistant. It took some getting used to and understanding how the place worked. I almost feel more prepared if I were to sign up for a class again. First hour was not the most intuitive. I recommend these cooking classes. It was fun and a good date morning with my husband.

Chef Jesse is a talented instructor (and cook, obvi) who made the process easy and fun. I loved assembling the dumplings and trying to crimp the top properly. Several friends were with me and it made the event even better! And a great value at $55! Until my next class!

I came here for what I thought would be a great date night to learn how to make pasta. It turns out…read morethe class is very social and not actually all that great for a date night. I thought we would at least have our own stations and be making our own meals--instead we worked as a collective, creating a sort of assembly line for rolling, stuffing, and making sauce, and we could jump around as we pleased. I forgot the instructors name, but he was very energetic, knowledgeable in his instruction,and friendly---making a very delicious focaccia bread for us to nibble on---which was a highlight. The space is also very cute! At the same time, for a pasta making class, I was not prepared to have everyone's hands rolling and cutting the food I would be eating at the end of the night. I tried not to look at what others were doing, as to not ruin my experience, but I do not feel enough emphasis was put on cleanliness to make this something I would want to do again. For example, we were rolling pasta with our bare hands, but some people were drinking their BYOB beverages, eating , and taking pictures. I don't think any hand washing took place in between. Lastly, we made 3 different pasta dishes and only 1 of them was really good in the end. The others were edible, but just not that great and needed more flavor. If I did return, it would be with a private group of people I know to make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. OTHER GLOWS: -Free parking validation for 3 hours right outside! -10% off at lighthouse for byob drinks before hand (we didnt know this!)

I have now hosted 2 birthday parties at Schola, this last one in March for my husband's 60th. Their…read morenew place has a view of the water and took what was a very good party venue to a GREAT party venue. Schola, what do I love about you? 1. Amy and all the staff have been so helpful and accomodating. 2. THE FOOD - it's all delicious! I didn't think that would be possible, especially when you're having your friends cook it, but the food is really really good. 3. BYOB - makes it much more affordable (we hosted 54 people). Schola provides glasses, buckets. I bring coolers, ice, cocktails, wine, beer and seltzer (they have water in pitchers). 4. Cooking together - nothing breaks the ice for folks more than working together. For folks willing to do the work, they have fun together. If you're looking for a place to throw a party, choose Schola!

I'm a new fan! I…read morerecently had the pleasure of visiting for a few friends birthday. We indulged in Brunch. We arrived at 10am, which seems to be the golden hour. By 11am it was jammed packed. Everything was amazing from the service to the food. While here I dined on the Brisket Skillet (tender, savory and mouth watering) and Pancakes (there was a special zing to them. :) ) I also tried the Salmon and Grits. Sooo good. The salmon and grits melted like butter in your mouth. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and flavor filled. Did I mention this establishment was BYOB? So you can bring your own unlimited mimosa's! I'd like to visit again and try lunch or dinner if available. :) Kudos to the chef and her staff!

I hate that I have to even write this review, but I was so disappointed in this place. Prior to…read moregoing, I did check out the reviews, but I decided to give them a chance to draw my own opinion. Find the bakery is pretty easy and I didn't have issues locating street parking. When I went inside, the staff was very friendly and talkative. I decided to get the dulce de leche and passion fruit cakes in a jar, plus I got the cookies n creme and red velvet cupcakes. Appearance wise the cupcakes look great. The whipped icing on the cookies and cream had a weird thick and slimy consistency. The red velvet was not bad, but the cupcake was dry and underwhelming. The passion fruit was absolutely terrible and I couldn't get past the icing! Gross. The dulce de leche had a good flavor, but the cake was dry and old. When I got home, I noticed they have dates on the bottom of the cake jars and the dates on my jars were 10 days ago! I cannot get past a bakery selling stale and dry products. It is clearly their thing because there are too many reviews complaining about the quality of the products. Overall, I will never visit here in the future and I would encourage others to consider all of the reviews that have similar complaints. I am not sure if this has become an after thought to the owner, but if they are still active in the business, they should really fix this issue because the reviews are very consistent and telling of the downhill spiral this place appears to have taken.
