Recent reviews of Bagel and Cream Cheese Making Class

  • 5/5 from Katelyn Billay, attended Aug 2026: Excellent course! Rosemary is super knowledgeable and passionate about baking. Highly recommend if you’re in New York and would like to learn more about baking this classic delicacy.
  • 5/5 from Jenna Riduan Arriola, attended Aug 2026: Rosemary is an amazing teacher! Her instructions were clear and she always had an insight as to why one has to do it this way. Explains thoroughly! It was such a joyful class! LOVEEEDDDD the bagels and cream cheese! Her studio was cosy and very welcoming and professional! it’s a joy to be there and would absolutely return for more classes! CANT WAIT!!!
  • 5/5 from Saumil Shah, attended Mar 2026: We booked a bagel-making class through ClassBento in NYC as a surprise birthday gift for my wife, and it was such a fun experience. The studio itself is a real working kitchen, which made the class feel immersive and hands-on from the start. Rosemary was fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. She mentioned she teaches all kinds of courses, has run her own teaching studio for 15–20 years, and even teaches around the world. It was especially interesting to hear that she used to be a cosmetology scientist. We made everything completely from scratch, and Rosemary never rushed us. She took pictures throughout the class and shared lots of extra cooking tips, even about other foods we make at home. I also loved learning little facts along the way, like cream cheese being another form of paneer. Because two people in our group got sick and couldn’t make it, we unexpectedly ended up with a nearly private class, which made the experience feel even more special. She also offered soft drinks and water, which was a nice touch. My only small downside is that for the price, I wish we had taken home a few more bagels—but honestly, I still can’t complain because the experience itself was so enjoyable and personal. One tip: bring a snack if you think you’ll want one, and be aware that parking can be tight if you’re coming from far away.
  • 5/5 from Antonia Sousa, attended Jan 2026: I had the best time at this class! Rosemary was so sweet and answered all my questions along the way. I love how they turned out and I'm excited to book another class in the future.
  • 5/5 from Subrenia Sergeant, attended Sep 2025: Very fun and informative class! I learned so much about making bagels and cream cheese, and the instructor made it easy and enjoyable. Everything tasted amazing. I highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Arlene Maidman, attended Mar 2025: I liked the bagels and they are great!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Teiman, attended Mar 2025: Fun, informative, and delicious!
  • 5/5 from Wonmu Sin, attended Feb 2025: Great results(bread & cream cheese) thanks to the great teacher Rosemary. The sudio is really nice, warm, colorful and fancy. It was a great class so I would like to have again with my families!!
  • 5/5 from Emily Cesarini, attended Feb 2025: Rosemary was an excellent teacher! She gave us lots of tips and tricks that would help us when remaking the bagels again at home. We had so much fun taking this class and learned a lot. Not only do you learn new skills but you also go home with lots of bagels and a tub of cream cheese each. We made everything bagels, salt and garlic bagels and both plain and pesto cream cheese. I can honestly say it was the best bagel I have ever had and highly recommend this experience!
  • 5/5 from Marvin Ellis Carolina, attended Jan 2025: Our class was absolutely amazing, I brought my wife to New York for her birthday. We saw two Musical and ate as several great restaurants and this bagel cooking class was by far her favorite activity. We are already planning our next visit and bringing family and friends to Rosemary’s class. I only gave her 5 stats because 10 stars was not option. Thanks for everything Rosemary!!!
