There's no seating and no public restrooms--just a straightforward counter for takeout or picking up pre-orders. On weekends, the line definitely snakes around the building if you don't arrive early, but they keep spirits high with a flavored water dispenser and the occasional sample to tease your tastebuds. From baked goods to breads to even some savory treats, you want to check this gem out! The baked goods are a total evolution of the craft. Their filled croissants are legendary, with the Dulce de Leche and Pistachio being absolute fan favorites that live up to the hype. If you're looking for their mini croissants, just keep in mind those are made to order. However, the true star of the show is the Pavlova. It is a next-level masterpiece, but it requires a few days' notice, so make sure to plan your visit accordingly. It's a hidden Miami treasure that proves you don't need a fancy dining room when the food is this good.

Upon arriving everything was already set up including a charcuterie board with quick bites, wines, Prosecco, and sparkling water. What I loved about this cooking class was that the chef was great at explaining things in simple and easy to understand steps. The food we needed to chop was already prepped and organized into individual bowls. We each had our own cutting board and knife. Everything was well planned, organized, and executed. We ended up making spinach empanadas, shrimp ceviche, and lomo saltado. Everything we made was delicious. The staff took care of all of the cleanup and the chef walked around filling our cups with more wine or champagne if we so desired. All in all we had an amazing night and would definitely return.

Ayesha's energy is so contagious, we are all excited to get to cooking! This cooking class is not your usual cooking class. Instead of partnering with someone to cook each meal, everyone kind of just broke up in to groups and focused on different dishes. It was a bit chaotic but so much fun! Who knew cooking along a group of strangers in a strangers home could be so effortless? Ayesha made everything very easy. I attended the This Is It - Lamb course. We cooked a delicious salad, okra, lamb kebabs and lamb Rogan Josh. Every bite of each dish was out of this world. The food was lighter than Indian cuisine I've had in the past, I noticed she didn't use nearly as much cream as some recipes I've seen. Ayesha also taught us plenty about Indian spices and their multifunctionality. It's too bad that Ayesha lives all the way in Kendall. If she lived closer, I'd be over all of the time!

I thought we were cooking, but it turns out that we got to sit and learn how to cook! The chef does these classes in two locations; one in Fort Lauderdale, and one in Delray Beach. Today we attended the class at Bagel Twins restaurant in Delray Beach. Tonight's menu included Lobster! We started off with a delicious Lobster ravioli with a lemon wine sauce and wilted arugula. From there we had the most divine lobster bisque I've ever tasted. Chef Cooks all of this in front of you and asks for participation from the audience. He had many Sous chefs tonight! After the bisque, he made the most incredible Lobster bruschetta with a balsamic glaze on top. And to finish off the evening he served the most delicious lobster mac and cheese I have ever had in my entire life! When you take his classes, he will email you the recipes of everything he cooked that night. My friends and I had so much fun and we would definitely go back for another demonstration and meal! Such a fun and interactive evening!

Chef Baba is funny, a little sarcastic, and really encourages everyone to cook with their heart rather than stressing over perfection. One of the coolest parts is that he makes his own wine from scratch and gives everyone a glass to try. You can also BYOB, which makes the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. The class is group-based, so volunteers help cook while everyone participates and learns together before sharing the food. It creates a really fun atmosphere and makes for a great date night or group outing. The food was incredibly tasty and felt very authentic. My family and I definitely learned a recipe that could easily become part of our Sunday dinner rotation. I'm excited to try it again once Chef Baba sends the recipe! Overall, it was a great experience. Plus, if you come back as a repeat customer, there are some really nice deals offered. Highly recommend!

You will definitely learn and you will have a delicious professionally prepared meal at the end. We stated with a basic pasta dough that we kneaded by hand. While the dough rested we enjoyed a delicious fresh salad of greens, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes just drizzled with aromatic olive oil. Brought back memories of vacations in Italy where we made salad from the veggies growing from our garden. We continued in our pasta making journey by rolling out the dough and passing it through the pasta roller. Chef also demonstrated how to make different shapes of pasta and the history behind them. We the watched him prepare our pasta dinner! This was the most challenging part...mouths were surely watering! We were served pappardelle with mushroom ragout, and ravioles stuffed with truffled ricotta. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. I loved all the simple ingredients and the light natural flavors. Dessert was chocolate mousse with strawberries and fresh whipped cream! Heaven!! We all left with our very own pasta dough ...and I'm seriously considering practicing what I learned! This was such an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to trying something like this again.

Cozymeal is "AWESOME"…read more What a great experience it was for me and maybe for the group that attended with me as well. The length of the class was about 2.5 hours of incredible Pasta making and Pasta filling and shaping. Chef for the class was Chef Nunzio from Naples, Italy. Chef Nunzio was simply amazing. He has great charisma and is extremely talented. He took the time to explain the process, to make contact with each one of us at the class and to guide you as needed. Who knew that making pasta would be so much fun. We made Papardelle from scratch with a mushroom ragu and also ravioli stuffed with truffle oil flavoured ricotta-parmesan mix. (This was heaven in a spoon) Also created a small salad appetizer to let the pasta dough rest after the knitting process, with a simple yet delicious citrus vinaigrette. Ohhhh.... it is a BYOB kind of a deal that I didn't know about... So feel free to bring a nice bottle of wine to drink and share as others kindly did since I didn't bring any. I highly recommend Cozymeal to anyone wanting to learn. The "how to" process is incredible. Can't wait to see what other classes are available to sign in. Thumbs up for the Cozymeal team and thanks for this great opportunity. PS: the location was beautiful and nicely decorated.

I had never taken a pottery class and was so excited to learn the ropes. There are 10 wheels here, so our group of 10 was able to arrive a little early, drink wine and eat some snacks we brought before learning the ropes of ceramics. Victor was our instructor and he was amazing! He first did a demonstration on how to work with the clay and start to make your piece. Then he helped us to create our own pieces. We got to make 3 different things. One item is included in your class price and you can purchase the other 2 for just $8 each. It's a hands on experience but so awesome to learn a new skill and get to be able to take your creation home. I will definitely look into more classes as I truly enjoyed my experience with the class.

First of…read moreall, you work with real clay and a pottery wheel--unlike many classes where you only hand-sculpt with air-drying clay. Second, they offer two time slots every day of the week, so booking is easy and doesn't require long-term planning. Third, while many classes only let you make your piece and require a separate booking for glazing, here they glaze it for you. And last but not least, the price is super fair compared to other classes that charge $100+. I booked a pottery class as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend. I was a little worried it would be too difficult, but we ended up loving it. The instructions were clear and detailed, and you could ask for the instructor's help at any stage. You get three pieces of clay to work with, and at the end, you choose one to keep (or pay just $8 for an extra piece). After two weeks, we picked up our fired and glazed dishes, and they turned out so adorable--I actually use them in the kitchen! Absolutely recommend this for a date, a girls' get-together, or even a solo, meditative experience.
