Recent reviews of French Croissant Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Sonja Williams, attended Nov 2026: Perfect! Great instructions, good use of time, easy to follow, and fun! The chef is qualified and entertaining, and we loved every minute. She provides written instructions to take home and allows you to take photos. Class was small and intimate.
  • 5/5 from Lauren, attended Oct 2026: Delicious croissants, great instructor. I have a newfound appreciation for croissants!
  • 5/5 from Amanda Neilan, attended Oct 2026: The croissant making class was excellent! We did every step of the process. The teacher, Emily, was super nice and is a great teacher. The best part of the process is that you leave with 4 freshly baked croissants to take home! I highly recommend this class for a girls night, date night, or as a fun solo activity.
  • 5/5 from Nat, attended Oct 2026: The class was great! We each made four delicious croissants and were sent home with the recipes to DIY. The teacher was engaging and her instructions were easy to follow. We had a great time.
  • 5/5 from Barbara Heaney, attended Sep 2026: I loved this class! Our teacher Genevieve helped us in personalized ways, and also shared a lot of wisdom to sustain our future baking adventures!
  • 2/5 from Swathi Nayak, attended Sep 2026: Had a confirmed booking, chef Jen who was teaching was very rude and refused to look at confirmation. But later accommodated. Poor experience in terms of how we were treated. I don’t pay 99$ each for such treatment.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Aveiga, attended Aug 2026: Great teacher, spent time explaining everything in detail! Loved every second! Recommend to others and would love to do this again!
  • 5/5 from Jason Chan, attended Aug 2026: The class gives you a good idea of the process of creating a croissant. You start with the last part of creating a croissant which is the folding of premade dough into the shape of a croissant. Then the teacher helps cook the croissants while you understand how to create croissants from scratch. You take home 4 croissants per person (if I recall correctly). One standard croissant, one croissant with ham and cheese (if you decided to add ham and cheese to a croissant) and two chocolate croissants Teacher was thorough in her instructions and good with answering questions. The croissants tasted good
  • 5/5 from Seth Ryan Kim, attended Jul 2026: Genevieve was a wonderful and charismatic teacher who made a daunting experience for a person who has never touched dough feel effortless. Great experience overall as an activity for a date, families, or just to learn solo or with friends. Plus you get to enjoy the heavenly smells of baked goods and eat the best croissants you've had that've been made by your hands!
  • 5/5 from Hosneara Begum, attended Jun 2026: This was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed the instructor guiding us through the entire process and also learned a few things for when I were to bake in the future. Great birthday gift to a friend too!
  • 5/5 from Ruth Hijar, attended Jun 2026: Good class number. Emily, our chef, was well prepared and explained everything clearly. Registration was also very easy and they responded immediately when we contacted them.
  • 5/5 from Kirby Polanco, attended Jun 2026: Chef Jen was a great teacher! She explained things very well while allowing space to try things on your own. Not only walked us through steps but explained in very good detail. 10/10 would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Alli Berman, attended Jun 2026: I learned how to make croissants last night! – the class was great - plenty of room to work at on my station. Emily was thorough and came around constantly to make sure we were doing the steps in the right order – I really liked that. She explained why we had to do things and why we should avoid doing other things and what the consequences could be so it really helped me think about the process better. I was the only one in the class who brought my own plastic thin gloves – I would recommend others might want to consider bringing them. Also, I have a chocolate and nut allergy and I think a suggestion I have is to ask people what food allergies they have so the class might be prepared slightly differently. For example, I couldn’t have the chocolate last night, but there was plenty of cheese and etc. So my croissants came out wonderfully well and I brought back three of them and had them for breakfast and lunch today! Thanks for the experience!
  • 5/5 from Sinai Cruz, attended Jun 2026: This was such a lovely experience! My friend and I don't bake much (read: at all), but this was very easy to follow along with because they really do take you step by step. The teacher was super helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. The ham and cheese croissant we made didn't even make it out the door because it was so delicious that I just had to eat it at that moment. Such a fun class and would highly reccomend it to anyone, even baking beginners like us!
  • 5/5 from Princess Diawuo, attended Jun 2026: I loved the class! I would recommend it to others. I would suggest that the chef teaches how to make croissants alongside everyone. At some moments it was too many directions all at once.
  • 5/5 from Ramiro Deo-Campo Vuong, attended Jun 2026: My girlfriend and took a class taught by Emily Macchia. We had an amazing time learning how to make croissants which turned out excellent. Emily was very helpful and gave a lot of tips and tricks. If you want to learn to make croissants, I think this class would be great to learn the basics along with how to correct common mistakes. Even if you don’t plan on making croissants at home afterwards, the class is great for date night. Both my girlfriend and I had a ton of fun during the class and really enjoyed the croissants we got to take home.
  • 5/5 from Newman Suzanne, attended May 2026: Had a very pleasant and interesting evening. My teacher was audible and clear in her directions. She worked hard the entire time watching and preparing. Everything was laid out for us to use, and we even got to sample our efforts. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Mymy Mashihi Mutondo, attended May 2026: She was Amazing!, I’m coming back Next time
  • 5/5 from Rachel Heather, attended May 2026: Emily was a lovely instructor! I went by myself, and was paired up with 2 other folks. The class definitely moves quickly with each lesson, so it can be a bit hard to remember everything. But Emily walks around throughout the entire class and is there to help you as you need it:) You get to take home a couple kinds of croissants and taste them fresh out of the oven!
  • 5/5 from Bailey Santaguida, attended May 2026: The teacher was so nice!!! I am inspired to be a pastry chef.
  • 5/5 from Bianca Collins, attended Apr 2026: What a wonderful way to spend my birthday! This class was so enjoyable from start to finish. The chef provided effective instruction and guidance while keeping the mood light and entertaining. I would highly recommend this class and I will certainly be returning the learn more.
  • 5/5 from Kelly Johnston, attended Apr 2026: This class is great fun for anyone who likes to learn by doing and then go home with very freshly baked croissants! Chef Jen was FABULOUS and my husband and brother-in-law both loved this surprise excursion--and they both now know how to prepare home made croissants. Yum!
  • 5/5 from Raya Young, attended Apr 2026: This class was extremely fun. It was set up wonderfully so that most of the hard or time consuming parts were already done for us, we learned how to roll the dough, how to fold the dough, put in the toppings, bake it. It was very fun for our group of 20 and the instructor was great.
  • 4/5 from Lindsay Ewing, attended Apr 2026: Class was a lot of fun - I liked the way it was done and it demystified croissant making - I can and will definitely try it at home! My one issue was the space - 4 people to a very small table felt cramped and we kept on banging into each other. But we made it work. Chef Emily was great and her instructions were very clear.
  • 5/5 from Johanna Yee, attended Mar 2026: The class was amazing! Our teacher was so funny, knowledgeable, gave great instructions, and provided extra guidance when needed. It was well paced with a break in the middle, and the croissants were delicious.
  • 5/5 from Courtney Thompson, attended Mar 2026: This was so much fun!! Genevieve was extremely thorough and demonstrated everything with clear, rememberable instructions. She helped you at every stage. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Steven Berghoef, attended Mar 2026: Genevieve was a great pastry chef and teacher!
  • 5/5 from Mia McDuffie, attended Mar 2026: Awesome class! Met so many cool people and baked very tasty croissants. Went solo and had a really great time.
  • 5/5 from Louis Cuomo, attended Mar 2026: Vicky was amazing! Will definitelkt recommend to everyone!
  • 5/5 from Krystel Berwin, attended Mar 2026: My friend with her daughter and I went to the Croissant Baking class and we had so much fun. The teacher was very knowledgeable and made the whole process exciting. She was very direct with the instructions with a little humor mixed in which we all loved because it made the atmosphere very relaxed and fun. Three hours just flew right by and we even had a little break in between. We would definitely come back for some other classes. The whole experience was very enjoyable.
  • 3/5 from Suheila Gragui, attended Mar 2026: Teacher was great and the class was amazing. I would totally do it again. I do wish the website was not too misleading because it states each person would make each type of croissant but since I was there with my partner we were only able to make 2 kinds since there wasn’t enough dough. We each had to share one dough but I feel like since I’m paying for 2 people each should’ve made all 3 types of croissants. So just note that if you are there with 2 people you’re only going to be able to make 2 types of croissants.
  • 5/5 from Cristina Javens, attended Feb 2026: Chef Genevieve led a fantastic class! She was really funny and explained everything clearly. The class itself was timed perfectly—we were either doing or learning in an engaged way. And the end result was delicious!
  • 5/5 from Bonnie Chien, attended Feb 2026: for my niece and her friend: made crossaints with good instructions for teenagers-they were able to deliver a reasonably high quality product and had a lot of fun in the process.
  • 5/5 from Kelly Gardiner, attended Feb 2026: The class with Chef Genevieve was amazing. Clear instructions and delicious results!
  • 5/5 from Fiona Mowbray, attended Jan 2026: Wonderful, informative class! Chef Genevieve was knowledgeable and fun. Smart set-up of using previously made dough and beginning with shaping and proofing before making new dough and baking. A great way to condense a longer process into a shorter class. Croissants were delicious!
  • 5/5 from Daniel Metzger, attended Jan 2026: Great class! Genevieve was an excellent instructor—very knowledgeable and fun. The class was well organized to make sure that everyone had the chance to participate in every step of making croissants, from preparing and kneading dough, through the process of integrating all that luscious butter, right through to enjoying the scrumptious final product. I highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Catherine Licitra, attended Jan 2026: The croissant baking class was super fun and I really enjoyed the experience. The setting is small and intimate so you can observe and learn, all materials were provided and the instructor was excellent! My daughter and I had a fun morning making 3 kinds of croissants…
  • 5/5 from Silvana Serafimovska, attended Jan 2026: Amazing instructor (Emily) and an amazing class!
  • 5/5 from Jimi Bang, attended Jan 2026: Pastry Jennifer was amazing. Her humor during instruction and her reminders to enjoy the process made the class both fun and engaging. She truly set the tone with joy and created a wonderful learning experience. I highly recommend her class.
  • 5/5 from Yvette Davis, attended Jan 2026: Chef Jen was fantastic!
  • 5/5 from Sheryl Newberger, attended Jan 2026: The class was excellent, amazing, fun, hands-on, and eating the most delicious croissants was the best!

The whole class was run very efficiently and we learned alot and are ready to make croissants at home! Jennifer took time to talk to us during the break and after class, loved her!!
  • 5/5 from Ken Schwartz, attended Jan 2026: Chef was very instructive. Good time was had by all and good eatin’.
  • 5/5 from Risa Matthews, attended Dec 2025: Class was so fun! Chef Emily was wonderful. So fun to do friends, family or couples. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Chima Lucky Okwuoha, attended Dec 2025: Croissants are great but hard to learn on your own
  • 5/5 from Deniz Celikoyar, attended Dec 2025: Instructors was an excellent host. She was extremely helpful. Looking forward to take more classes from her. Location is also very convenient. Enjoyed it very much Deniz
  • 4/5 from Georgiana Dragu, attended Dec 2025: Pros : The teacher was great, very knowledgeable and great at explaining. You get to take 4 croissants home, we also made a bigger, bread like one we left there. Cons : if you’re looking for a social experience, that’s not the case. I got the ticket for my birthday as a gift and got seated by myself at one table. Everyone who came with family/friend was seated only with that person. If I knew, I would’ve booked with a friend.
  • 5/5 from Nathalia Soto, attended Nov 2025: The croissant making class with Chef Genevieve was amazing! So much fun - great by yourself, with a group of friends, or with your partner.

  • 5/5 from Claudine Nikolopoulos, attended Nov 2025: Genevieve was a great teacher & so fun to take her class. I learnt so many useful info. I totally recommend taking her class with your besties. My croissants were amazing & I definitely recommend this fun activity.
