We were able to get a water bottle engraved and I've been using it daily ever since. I explored the space more and saw that they had several 3D printers, large photo/poster printers, vinyl cutters, sewing machines, laser cutter, metal and wood workshop, and probably more that I missed. Membership is free to MCCCD students, faculty and staff and they charge at cost for materials, which is a great deal. It's open to the public as well and they have membership options. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to chat with. I would love to come back and explore more of their offerings!

I quickly learned that I had been charged $99 for my first month and he had been given his first month Free. I tried to cancel prior to that first month ending and this is what I received from the owner, it's almost comical. ""This is fascinating to me. I'll tell you what, ask 3 entrepreneurs if they think the way you are going about this is right, and if they agree with you (and I'll take your word for it), you're done. No additional payments needed. If they disagree with you, still no additional payments needed as the $500 difference in this case will make no difference in my life - but do take the lesson to heart that when you make an obligation, as a business-owner, the expectation is that you follow-through with your obligations. When you are trying to go back on an obligation you've made, you should try not to blame the other party. Best wishes, Hamid Shojaee Founder"" I tried to cancel via an email that did nothing but praise them and blame my business location compared to where I live now. You charged one brother $99 and the other $0. Was he better looking? Low on gas that day? What was the reason on that one?

I love that there are so many different options and everyone can choose their own project. It was hard to choose just one. The set up is very organized and it is easy to find the supplies you need. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. Nicole is very patient and helpful, but at the same time doesn't intervene unless you ask. She said she wanted us to feel like it was our project. We all left feeling so proud and accomplished. I have my final product proudly on display at home. I can't wait to come back to do more projects. I can't recommend this place enough!

I signed up to take a coaster making class, which will take place soon, but also purchased an additional kit to make. The shipping was fast and I received the kits 3 days before the class. The night I received the kit, I completed the extra craft I purchased, which was the wooden cactus in a pot. Nicole, the owner, didn't cut corners. She was extremely thorough in everything included in completing your kit. There was even a nail to help you pick up the stencil, if needed. The packaging of all the items was great as well. Everything was labeled and matched with the instructions. Every minute detail was accounted for. You could tell the thought put into this, and that was superb. The instructions were so in depth and she made it so you could not screw it up. They were concise and easy to follow, which made completing the project a delight. There were also tips throughout the instructions, which helped. I live in Buffalo, NY and we have DIY studios around town, but it was so refreshing to be able to purchase different and unique crafts that you can't get around here. I highly recommend this studio for crafting, and hope someday I can attend a class in person.

Jessica's class was a fun way to spend an evening revisiting a craft I'd done years ago and really enjoyed. Both classes included all the instruction and tools you could want! Highly recommend you check out any classes they offer.

When my family came to visit from NYC for the weekend, I was on a mission. I wanted to show them…read morethat Phoenix has more to offer than cacti, 115-degree weather, and Instagram worthy rooftops. I was looking for a spot with fresh, flavorful food, a relaxed vibe, and maybe a little something extra to keep my teenage nieces and nephew entertained. MATCH Market & Bar checked just about every box. Before we even ordered, the kids were already wandering through the little market area, which turned out to be half the fun. They found a locally designed jigsaw puzzle, grabbed a few unique snacks for later, and suddenly I had bought myself a few uninterrupted minutes to look over the menu. Parents, aunts, uncles... you know those moments are priceless. Now let's talk about the food. We went all in. Salmon, steak, fresh salads, wings, tacos, appetizers, a sandwich (don't ask me which one because everybody was reaching across the table stealing bites), fries, and every plate was a winner. Everything tasted fresh and had just enough creativity without trying too hard to be "chef-y." It felt like the kind of menu where almost anyone can find something they'll enjoy. My one... and only..,. complaint? The ordering system. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm still a fan of sitting down, having someone take my order, and easing into the dining experience. Ordering at the register, grabbing a table number, and waiting for food delivery always feels a little like upscale cafeteria dining to me. It certainly didn't ruin the experience, but if MATCH ever switched to full table service, I'd probably become a regular. The atmosphere was easygoing and welcoming. We visited early in the afternoon, so it wasn't buzzing just yet. We enjoyed our meal, caught up on family gossip, laughed way too loudly a few times, and then headed out. I noticed they host live music and other events in the evenings, though, and I have a feeling the whole place takes on a completely different personality after dark. If you're looking for a casual lunch with fresh food, good ingredients, and a downtown location that somehow manages to avoid feeling chaotic, MATCH is absolutely worth checking out. The pricing was fair and appropriate for this area, so that was a plus. It's the kind of place that's equally good for a quick bite, meeting friends, or bringing out-of-town guests who want something a little different. Will I be back? I think so. But next time I'm coming in the evening. I want to see this place with a cocktail in hand, music playing, and a little more of the energy that I suspect makes MATCH shine.
