I recently checked out the café at the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio. I ordered a…read morematcha, but unfortunately it was way too sweet for my taste. That said, the pastry was excellent( super fresh and definitely the highlight of my visit.) My total came out to about $14, which is a bit on the pricey side, but I don't mind paying it knowing it supports the students and their training. Parking is something to plan for: you only get 30 minutes free at the Kohler Garage, and the Pearl District no longer offers two-hour free parking. There is paid public parking available nearby, though. I would absolutely come back for their dinner-course meal. I've done it multiple times and love it every time. However, I'd probably skip the café drinks in the future and just stick to the pastries.

Each girl had very few tasks to complete and then was expected to stand quietly in their spot. The main instructor was fine, but the other staff spent entirely too much time yelling at the children to be quiet. Voiced my concerns to the owner (?) who was extremely condescending and rude and unapologetic. Cannot believe the interaction. Please do not give them your business.

It was more of a demonstration than actually letting the kids get to make the cupcakes themselves. If the kids didn't do it exactly the way they were told they were very rude. From what I have been told it was very different a few years ago. I definitely would not recommend having a kids party here. We made the best of it but it could have been better.

It always fills up & always has a waitlist. You must apply only twice a year between Jan- Feb for spring session & Aug- sept for fall. The cost is roughly $220 & includes materials.At the end of the semester & after completed volunteer hours, you will attain certification as a master gardener. I have been going three weeks so far & out of the 3 speakers, 2 have been very beneficial. Mostly taught by professors or past aggies working in the fields. Very knowledgeable people. You are given a manual with chapters that coordinate w/ syllabus. You are required to perform 50hrs of volunteer work to be completed within a year of graduation to fulfill certification requirements. Most of those hours are done in the dirt :) Refer to the picture I added, for an idea of the topics, hours & syllabus. The community of master gardeners has been very welcoming, even if I am the youngest by maybe 15 years. They also pair interns with a mentor. I think this is an incredible value at $220 & a great service to the community. Happy & excited to be intern.

These guys are total gardening nerds! They get completely geeky with their gardening- and I love…read moreit! These folks show up at all kinds of gardening shows, the Folklife Fest, farmers markets, Fiesta events, and other hip places around town to be. They show off their skills with their plants- they sometimes sell plants that they've expertly grown. They're really at these events to answer questions about your plants, and help you grow. They've been at SAWS events advocating how to grow butterfly friendly shrubs, or teaching people how xeriscaping can reduce water consumption. In all, they're really not there to sell you on things, they're there to help you grow your garden! I've approached them with pictures of bugs on my phone that have been causing problems, and they came up with the bug species, and how to get rid of them easily (A lil' soapy water! Who'd of thunk it?!) I've never tried to get educated to the level of these guys. They're horticultural black belts, as far as I'm concerned. Kudos to Bexar County Master Gardeners!

The instructors guide you step-by-step through the process to personalize and create a custom work of art. The space is so well organized and clean.

The website is so easy to navigate once you pick your project and your class time you can register and everything is ready to go when you show up. This is such a fun activity to do with a group of people or on your own and I'm so excited to branch out into holiday themed projects next.

She even gave me all the notes from our discussion. Very fruitful. I strongly recommend people to come here if they need a little help with what to do to go to school. 5 stars for how our meeting went

Sylvan Learning on Bandera Road with its current owner is a money hungry franchise owner who does…read morenot care about the student. He allows students to attend without wearing a mask and for this reason my student did not return after they reopened during the pandemic. The corporate office does not have standards about how a franchise is run. I was told the VP, Susan Valverde will call me back and never did. When I visited the owner about the number of sessions we had left, he had it recorded as we had been there during the pandemic and when he was called out on this, he said he would have to get back with me - he never did. I strongly do not recommend using Sylvan. Corporate does not care how a center is being run as long as they pay their franchise fees. The owner could care less about the safety of your child or their lack of learning.

Now finally a place to get coffee nearby!! Been missing a coffee place here since Mad Hatters left my square in like the 90's. Even cooler they offer classes here. Seems like a neat concept and It's refreshing to see a coffee academy/great place to get a cup of coffee on the square.Also they have a patio that seats 4. Next time your in the area check them out.
