    A place to eat too.
    J P.

    Homemade in Powhatan!!!! I like to support small businesses especially women. This is the place for a really nice homemade full meal. It comes with a fresh side salad and a side of fresh mixed fruit. I got the quiche and it was the best I had in years. The pretzels are also a specialty here. They have tables and they serve your lunch on real plates and real silverware!!! Check them out I highly recommend them.

    Chicken Salad on Pretzel Roll
    Tyree F.

    Stopped by today for lunch was it was a great experience. The ladies inside were super nice and helpful. When you walk in it smelled like a bakery or your grandmother's house (or at least my grandmothers). The have a nice menu of different items and every day is a little different. We came on cinnamon roll day and went home with three of them. They were baking blueberry scones, cinnamon rolls and quiche as the place smelled fantastic. I tried a slice of the bacon & cheddar quiche, and it was delicious. It was moist and the crust was flakey. We both had a sandwich - my wife the chicken salad (not heavy with mayo) on pretzel bread. She ate all the chicken salad & most of the pretzel bread - I ate the rest (we picked up 6 pretzels to go). I got the Grilled Ham/Cheese on artisan bread (fruit as a side dish (it was fresh fruit) - one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. We will be back and look forward to our next visit. They have other items of interest for sale, jellies, jams, clothing, etc. They also have a refrigerated section with different breads, pretzels, soups, etc. I just ate half of the cinnamon roll and it was I'd have to say the best I've had in a very long time.

    Adorable jam set!

    My son's did a workshop here and they could not have loved it more! My boys are 5 and very active,…read moreso I was concerned about how they would be able to sit through a session, but the chef held their attention the entire time. This was over a week ago and they are still raving about it. Also the food that they made was delicious and it inspired them to eat vegetables! We will definitely be back.

    We took the kids there on Friday. Sometimes they have free classes for kids where they teach them a…read morefew cooking skills and give them free samples of food. Such a great idea. Get them involved in cooking young so they can help in the kitchen later. Anyhow they made cinnamon and sugar dog shaped bones (for ppl not made for dogs). They gathered flour in a cup. Idk u gwt a huge cupful thats overflowing and to tap it three times to get air pockets out and then go across it with a knife or something similar to get rid of extra flour and get a nice evening cup of flour. They loved that and my 4 year old ended up with flour all over her pants. SHE REALLY GOT INTO IT. LOL. Then to complete the dog biscuits they rolled dough, pressed the dog shaped biscuit cookie cutter into the dough and added a few swipes of butter to coat it and added a pinch of cinnamon and sugar and since its just a,short class, they let them try samples of them they had already baked. Next station was strawberries with mascapone icing. They used a straw to push out the stem and then cut it in half and added icing. Oh man think that was the favorite station for all three of my kiddos. My 4 year old was like, "mmmm." Hehe. The other two kids inhaled it without much talking which means it was agreeable to their sometimes fussy pallets. You know how kids are if ur a parent or nanny. FUSSY. LOL. NEXT and final station was biscuit/croissant making. It was equivalent to making Pillsbury dough biscuits but way cooler. They told them ingredients used to make dough, played with flour and made a cup of flour again as before, rolled out dough again, rolled into a small crossaint, buttered it and added spices to it. If there has been time to make it they would have done something for 8 mins I think. Idk what temperature tho. They tried yet another sample. Seriously I can't rave about this place enough. Staff was amazing. The bakers/employees hired are professional to be on TV, super helpful and FUN. They have cooking classes for like $30/kid or $99 for monthly classes I think she said. Not sure of exactly details but that's what I gathered. Take your kids there, you won't regret it and your kids will love it!!!!

    There aren't many reviews on Yelp and Google but they were certainly helpful in setting my…read moreexpectations for the in-person class. These are group cooking classes so be prepared to be social and know that you won't be involved in every dish. The recipes for all the dishes were shared via email. I have never taken a cooking class and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You split into partners/groups and make an assigned dish. At the end, the dishes are served at the dining table where you eat with your fellow classmates. All the ingredients are ready at every station and the recipe is printed. Everyone in my class was open to people floating around different stations, which was nicer than only sticking to the assigned dish. It was pretty chaotic with one chef running around trying to ensure 13 people weren't ruining any dishes for everyone but I think that's just a typical kitchen.

    Calling this a cooking "class" would be disingenuous…read more I received a coupon for a free class from Mise En Place and purchased another ticket for my wife. We were very excited for a cooking class to learn new recipes that we could cook together. I am a very inexperienced cook and was looking forward to learning on how to cook the meals on the advertisement and leaving feeling confident that I learned something new and could prepare at least one of the dishes. Instead, we showed up and weren't greeted at all. We had to ask another class member how to sign in because the instructor was no where to be found. There was no guidance and the "instructor" (using this term incredibly loosely) told the large group to pick a station and get started. Everyone seemed confused by this but walked around and found a recipe. Every station was lacking ingredients and utensils so we could not complete our tasks without walking around aimlessly looking for the right ingredient or measuring cup, etc. (Again, no guidance from the instructor). About 30 minutes into cooking, the "instructor" told the group of 10+ people to switch to a new station. This wasn't structured at all and people in the class just meandered around and said "I guess I'll do this now. No idea where the last person left off though." My wife and I took over a task preparing Asian Fried Chicken. After following the recipe provided by the "iNsTrUcToR", she came over and said it was still raw and walked away with no further instructions. We immediately used a meat thermometer showing that the internal temp was above 165 degrees and not in fact raw, making me seriously doubt the qualifications of our "iNsTrUcToR". After completing this part of the recipe, we noticed a number of other participants just standing around. My wife asked the instructor "Do you have a task I can complete, something I can help with?" and the instructor simply walked away. After completing the recipes - the food was fine. No complaints about the quality of the food - but this isn't the point of a "cooking CLASS". I spoke with 5/6 of the attendees in this class and they were clearly annoyed with the false advertising and lack of instruction and audibly complained throughout the "class" about having no instruction, no guidance, and learning nothing. (Rightfully so). There were a number of other beginners in the class and they seemed checked out because they had no idea what to do, didn't receive feedback, and there was no structure. The common theme after speaking with the attendees was that they thought this would be an instructional event where you can leave learning something (a new skill, a new recipe, literally anything). The only thing I left with was a few jokes about how terrible this experience was. if this was advertised as 15 people getting together to cook prepared recipes with no guidance, that would be accurate. If you want to cook something new - google it and try it yourself. You'll save $85 and get the same experience.
