  • 5/5 from Nina Geneson, attended Mar 2026: we had a wonderful 10 year old girls birthday party here- making madeleines. the girls loved it and they taste amazing too wha a great time and thanks so much!!
  • 5/5 from Clara Hyun, attended Mar 2026: I joined Jesse’s madeleine baking class and had such a great time! She explained every step very clearly and shared lots of helpful tips that made the process much easier to understand. The class was very hands-on, and it was amazing to see our madeleines come out of the oven with the perfect little hump. The space was cozy and welcoming, and Jesse created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from Camille Gabito, attended Feb 2026: I've been doing an alphabet solo date and the date that I wanna do for "B" is baking. I don't have any experience with baking so I'm kinda nervous but Jesse guided us. She provided us some tips and you can tell that she's very knowledgeable with what she's doing and loves her craft. The place is also aesthetically pleasing and I love the vibe. Thank you so much for making my Valentine's day memorable!
  • 5/5 from Lacy Holomon, attended Feb 2026: I purchased this class for my mom and she came back with rave reviews. She showed up a little late due to getting lost along the way and the teacher was kind and patient in accommodating. She mentioned how kind the teacher was, how delicious the baked goods tasted and how welcoming the environment was. Thank you for being so kind to my mom during this experience and helping to make her valentines day so special.
  • 5/5 from Monica Perry, attended Feb 2026: The weekend after my birthday, I managed to get a few friends to come out with me to have a cute little madeline baking party, and Jesse was so sweet and accommodating. Setting up the date, she was very flexible with me regarding the number of people attending — because of course, some people don't commit until the day before — and worked with me regarding my dietary needs. In person, she was very energetic and positive, I felt like she warmed the room even more than the sunshine pouring in through the ceiling to floor windows! It's a beautiful space, she brings the best energy and prepares for us all the parts that'd be easy to mess up, and the recipes are delicious; not too sweet, but never bland! I would love to come to one of her public classes when I have the time. The best start to a great day!
  • 3/5 from Thea Lau, attended Feb 2026: We took the Madeleine Baking Class and it was cute and yummy but we felt that the way the class was organized was unfair. All the participants collaborated to make different flavors for the character madeleines. We baked the character madeleines in two batches. When the first batch was done, the teacher dumped them all onto the table for us to divide. There was less of the matcha flavor and two of the participants (who were also the teacher’s friends) took 90% of the matcha flavored madeleines. From here I will call these two participants “TF” (Teacher’s Friends). Some participants didn’t get any matcha madeleines at all. Then when the second batch was done baking, the teacher handed them out instead of dumping it on the table. But TF ate one and didn’t say anything and the teacher gave them another one so I was left with one less than everyone else. Thankfully, another kind participant gave me her madeleine. After making the character madeleines, we had some leftover batter that we could make into heart-shaped madeleines for eating while we decorated the character madeleines. TF did not want to help make these so the rest of us made the heart-shaped madeleines but when the heart madeleines were done baking, the teacher gave 4 heart madeleines to the TF and the rest of us only got 2. We felt that since we all paid for the class, everyone should have been treated fairly. The class was cute and has potential to be great but the experience left us feeling a little unhappy.

  • 5/5 from Charlene Cayanan, attended Jul 2025: I had such a fun time going to the madeleine baking class! This is my 2nd time going to one of these baking classes and I was pleased with how it went. I also loved how easy Jesse made it for us! It’s a very relaxing and welcoming environment. I recommend going alone to meet new people or with a duo! It’s nice to have someone with you so if she partners you off, you’re with someone you know, but if you go alone, Jesse makes you feel very welcomed. I like how versatile the decorations are and how she doesn’t pressure you to do just one type of style. She lets you do any design you like!
