  • 5/5 from Mary Pat Denci, attended Mar 2025: We took our 8 year old grandson to this bagel making class. We all enjoyed it! Informative and fun! Yummy too, as we got to eat what we made and take home bagels. We learned bagel making tips and the secret to the perfect schmear! Looking forward to Bagel Fest Nov 16, 2025!!!
  • 5/5 from Hana Kalaie, attended Mar 2025: It was amazing! We did a tour, our own bread! And so many tips and tricks! Highly recommended
  • 5/5 from Neena Kushner, attended Jan 2025: We had a terrific time and learned a lot! These were absolutely the best bagels we have ever eaten. We haven’t stopped eating them since we left the class. Riva was an amazing teacher and extremely knowledgeable about cooking and baking in general. Terrific personality to boot!!!!
  • 5/5 from Christina Szabados, attended Jan 2025: Super fun activity for a Sunday afternoon
  • 5/5 from Alex Williams, attended Jan 2025: This is not a cheap class, but you’ll not regret the cost, because the instruction is top class. You’ll learn history and technique from two very knowledgeable and skillful aficionados of bagels, as well as have access to the facilities and equipment of one of NYC’s bagel bakeries. A very informative and useful session, whether you’re a beginner or just want to up your bagel game.
  • 5/5 from Alex Gong, attended Nov 2023: My team of 10 from Google was psyched to participate in a bagel-making class led by the bagel duo of Sam and Reba. Sam's passion for bagels was infectious, as he shared stories about the bagel's rich history and significance. His knowledge was impressive and engaging, and he smoothly combined historical anecdotes with the hands-on cooking experience. Reba, the bagel master, expertly guided us through the art of bagel-making. Her clear instructions and encouraging attitude made even the most inexperienced baker feel confident in their abilities. She patiently answered all our questions and offered helpful tips along the way. The class was a fun blend of learning and cooking. We learned about the origins of bagels, the secrets behind perfect bagel dough, and the techniques for shaping and baking them to perfection. Sam's historical insights added a unique dimension to the experience, turning a simple cooking class into a journey through time and tradition. Sam and Reba's bagel-making class is a must-do for anyone who loves bagels, history, or simply enjoys a fun and hands-on learning experience. Their passion, expertise, and contagious enthusiasm make them the perfect guides for this class. I highly recommend this class to anyone seeking an epic bagel-making experience.
  • 5/5 from Kait Lagalante, attended Oct 2023: Sam and Reba were great! We had so much fun, thanks so much for a fantastic class. We did this workshop as part of a team building event and it was perfect!
  • 3/5 from Roli Bhardwaj, attended Aug 2023: It was an OK workshop. It would have been more bang for the buck of they could show/make us make the actual bagel dough itself which is the hardest part (dough was just handed to us and we made bagel rings out of them).
