  • 5/5 from Allison Butz, attended Dec 2025: We had such a wonderful experience in the chocolate-making class! Chef Thomas was an absolutely amazing instructor—fun, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the class feel approachable for all skill levels and kept the energy high from start to finish. His guidance was clear and super helpful, and he was always ready to jump in with tips, encouragement, and lots of enthusiasm. Not only did we learn so much, but the entire session was genuinely enjoyable. We laughed, experimented, and ended up with a ton of delicious chocolate creations. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on experience led by a truly outstanding chef. Thank you, Chef Thomas, for making it such a memorable and delightful time!
