We came to the workshop for the Izakaya cooking night. Izakaya is my favorite Japanese style bar food and we were not disappointed. We were greeted with warm welcome when first arrived. Loved the open concept and clean kitchen style set up. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. All cooking materials were provided, and you can byob of your own favorite drinks, wine, whisky, sparkling... they do have water here, also can provide ice bucket to chill your drinks. The cooking process was gradual, step by step and fun. Very interactive and the end results were delicious. They have a large variety of classes for customers of all ages and needs. Price is reasonable. Convenient location with no issues to find parking. We loved this educational yet entertaining experience very much. Highly recommend for any occasions.

Culinary Craft Workshop is amazing! I learned so many new tricks -- and also discovered that a lot of what my Grandma taught me in the kitchen is, well... a little outdated (thanks, Chef Nate -- she's totally going to haunt you for that one ). Chef Pat was equally fantastic, sharing super helpful tips and fun ways to switch up meals. And Courtney, who runs the shop, is one of the sweetest, most engaging people you'll ever meet. Honestly, I almost hate writing this review because I know more people will sign up and take the spots... but they absolutely deserve the praise. I'll definitely be a regular from now on. Time to start unlearning Grandma's tricks (love you, Grandma ). read more

Extremely inflexible accommodating camp change requests even with 4 months notice (tried to change in March for a mid-July camp). My son who would be attending with his two siblings (9 and 11 yo) is 7 years old and 10 months and was turned away at the door because he is 2 months shy of 8 years old with no other camp options despite us offering to chaperone him during the camp and being open to having him leave in the case he was unable to handle the tasks or disruptive. Instead, we are out $455, and the lack of flexibility to cancel despite an existing waitlist and lack of age buffer for who is deemed 'big enough' (maybe there should be height and weight requirements instead) throughout indicates their jr camps are a money grab and the workshop is inexperienced when it comes to kids camps. The person I dealt with, Joanie, is rude and lacks service industry disposition. The camp itself is on par with other junior cooking camps - nothing special and certainly not worth the hassle of management. The chef dealing with 2 of my kids lacked patience and snapped at my daughter (9 yo) when she asked if the paella being cooked would have seafood like previous ones she has encountered. I recommend you take your business elsewhere. read more

This was my birthday present and so much fun. Great set up and educational. We did a parent/kid pizza making class. They took you step by step and encouraged the kids to do a lot of it. Great knife safety info. We each got to make our own pizza from flour and yeast all the way to toppings. Chef Pat also make a deep dish and salad for us to taste. Absolutely going back for other classes and it's BYOB. The classes are small and plenty of time to ask questions. This should be an Elite Yelper experience. read more

I thought it would be a great experience to enroll my daughter in their summer camp, but it really was a letdown. The instructors were perpetually grumpy and constantly snapped at the kids. read more

Came with my brother last week for a fun evening of making pizza! Looking forward to trying out their other classes in the future! Everything about CCW was great: easy signup, clean workspace, aprons provided (unless you want to bring your own), friendly staff, and classes that end with a tasty meal! One thing that I particularly loved was that there is staff there whose sole job is to keep everything clear. So as we moved from dough making to topping prep, they were clearing away our bowls, measuring cups, etc. (Can they come to my house when I cook, please?!) It took away some of the stress of cooking and allowed it to be just a purely enjoyable experience. At the end of the night, we'd enjoyed some camaraderie with other participants, enjoyed a delightful meal that we made, and even had some leftovers. If you're looking for a fun night out to expand your culinary creativity, then check out some of the classes at Culinary Craft Workshop! P.S. BYOB! read more

We had a company event here at the workshop. I wasn't sure what to expect; it was definitely a unique experience. First thing to note, this place is tough to find. The GPS will bring you to the area, but not the building. Hang in there and look for the the building number. When you arrive, you will notice that there is plenty of parking. When we entered the workshop, we were greeted by the staff. They showed us where to place our coats and then required everyone to wash their hands. We then went to various pristine workstations (see pictures). There were several meals that we would be cooking. The ingredients and recipes for each were available at the workstations along with individual aprons. There were two primary chefs that introduced the experience, provided demonstrations and cooking oversight. I genuinely appreciated that we could participate to the degree of our choice. The food came out really well. I learned several new techniques for dicing and sautéing. If you are looking for a unique group experience, I highly recommend the Culinary Craft Workshop. read more

We attended Culinary Craft Workshop for Wine & Food Pairing. It's hard to give the CCW experience more than 1 star. Food was average, wine pairing was suspect, and the attitude of the lead chef (Pat) was disgraceful. We found Chef Pat to be condescending and in need of some anger management classes. It's one thing to be an a$$ while you're working in the back of the house with your line cooks and sous chef, it's something totally different when you're interacting with people that pay you so they can enjoy a cooking experience. Chef Pat may have tons of real world cooking knowledge and expertise, but he lacks the empathy and self awareness to understand when he has pushed too far. If Chef Pat is to continue to interact with the paying customers at CCW, he should invest his time in some introspection to find out why he lacks patience with people with a limited foodservice skill set. Acting like an a$$ and calling out people's mistakes might work out great for Gordon Ramsey with culinary professionals on tv, but it doesn't work out so well when you use the same communication skills with folks that have the majority of their cooking and "foodservice" experience from their own kitchen at home. He also needs to understand that his actions directly impact the experience of the people that pay for his service. We will not be attending another event here, and will actively discourage others from doing so. read more

My second class was just as enjoyable as the first. Prices are fair considering how many people are involved and how much individual attention participants receive. (My last class had a chef, an assistant chef who was also an instructor there, a dishwasher, and one of the owners.) Every class includes some additional instruction, such as knife skills or info on tools and equipment. Instruction includes some lectures, but is mostly hands-on. Equipment is high quality. Knives are SHARP. Both classes included a lot of food; we all went home with left overs. A camera above the stove/work area and two large screens ensure that participants can always see what the chef is doing. Note that you'll be standing on a concrete floor for most of the three hours that class is in session. Wear comfortable shoes. For safety reasons, participants must stand while working. read more

Had a fabulous time on Saturday cooking Middle-eastern foods of falafel, flat bread, saffron rice, and a tomato-cucumber salad. Learned safe knife skills, what oils to use at high temperatures, how to knead bread and the benefits of using kosher salt. The workspace was set up well, all ready for us when we arrived. Our group was seated together. The class moved right along with interesting tips, clear instructions and sharp knives. And no clean-up - yay! At the end of the class, we enjoyed a fabulous meal together. Chef Nate was great - happy to answer questions, approachable, and funny. I'm looking forward to another class! Oh, water is supplied to drink, but you're welcome to bring any other beverage. Have fun! read more

I wanted a private event at the culinary craft workshop on my birthday, and I spoke to Jonie and she was able to talk to her staff to provide me the day that I asked. However, when due to some confusion, she became rude and was not able to work with me on my requested date. She didn't even try. Not very good customer experience read more

I have attended two classes: Fish and Gumbo and am scheduled to attend a private event at CCW next week. The Chefs are a wealth of knowledge and make the class fun while always focusing on safety. The combo of hands on experience with getting to watch a trained chef do their magic makes the experience even more enjoyable! Both times I attended I learned so much more than the recipes on the menu. The owner has been a pleasure to work with and is super accommodating. read more

Love the experience here. We've already done 3 classes with a few more coming up. Chefs Pat and Nate are knowledgeable and fun to work with. The fresh pasta class is a MUST. :) Also, the flavors created in the Middle Eastern class can't be beat. Don't forget, BYOB! Lovely cooking and dinner experience all around. read more

If I could put zero stars, I would. Friends and I went to their open house on Dec 17th and purchased a gift card. We stood there chatting trying to pick a date and the owner yelled at us to move since we were blocking other customers. There were no other customers. Not a good way to treat customers. read more

I booked a class for my daughter and I to take together, using gift cards I had received. The week of the class, my daughter contracted COVID; so we had to cancel. I called several times, and no return call. I sent emails. Same thing, no response. (I wasn't even looking for a refund; just a credit so we could reschedule.) So they basically kept the $160 and ran. The classes might be great, but their operations and customer service need work. read more

We have taken two classes at CCW since it opened and have loved both of our experiences! We have taken the donut class and the Caribbean cooking class...both were WONDERFUL! The staff take excellent precautions due to COVID. We loved learning about all the various techniques for making both donuts and Caribbean food! Definitely check out a cooking class for lots of fun! read more

Great space! Awesome chefs that are so knowledgeable, talented and patient! I've been to the Pasta and Donut classes. It's hard to say which was better! This is a great spot to safely do something with your friends or your someone special! BYOB makes this the perfect date night dinner and activity. Highly recommend- I'll be back soon! read more

There is a wide range of classes offered. Good value for the money spent and delicious food!
