Best Bakery Courses In Washington Near Me

Valerie Damond: Last night twelve members of my family experienced a truly remarkable Spanish dinner. Chef Greg presented us with a very relaxing and utterly delicious meal. Every course was beautifully displayed and clearly constructed with the best ingredients. He and his helper served us and left the kitchen immaculate. If you would like to experience an expertly crafted Spanish cuisine, I highly recommend Chef Greg.

Ryan McGorty: Culinaerie is one of, if not, the most well-known recreational cooking school in the area. They offer a lot of different cooking instruction to aspiring cooking enthusiasts of all different skill levels. They have an online calendar that shows which classes are available and when. The classes book fast, so be ready to book if you see one you like. You can take individual classes on a class-by-class interest basis, or participate in a series of classes designed to improve your skills through a structured course. If you want to take a knife skills class, learn how to make Thai food, or even make tapas, they have a wide offering of options. The actual location consists of two instruction kitchens, with one being significantly larger than the other. The instructor leads the class through the cooking demonstration and there are overhead TVs and assistants in the room to help in case you need it. The instructor usually walks around while you are cooking/preparing food to give you tips. I went here for a date night cooking class and we had a very good experience. We learned a new recipe which we’ve cooked on our own at home. It is pretty expensive, but it made for a great experience.

Julya Fridman: I invited Tiny Chefs to conduct a cooking class at my home in CT for my daughter’s birthday party. She and all 11 of her 4-10 year old guests greatly enjoyed the party! In fact, after the class was over, my daughter requested to do it again next year. For 2 hours, two Tiny Chefs staff members were working with the kids, allowing adults (parents) some time to catch up and the best part was that the kids got to enjoy their own creations at the end. I would highly recommend Tiny Chefs!

Larry “Big Schlim” Mcleod: **Disclosure** I DROPPED THE CUPCAKE BOX...AGAIN!! So please pardon the pictures...I snapped what I could!! Ok I’ve slid pass this place many a day, not knowing what they sold. I’m LATE...I know!! So I slowed my role, I stopped in, and was awestruck by alluring baked goods scent, and the visually stunning set up of cupcakes & macaroons they have!! Better late than never is what they say right? Riiigghhttt!! Well I’m glad I stopped @thesweetlobby located at 404 8th St., S.E. Washington DC!! Ok this spots cupcakes are baked daily, are void of shortening, and come in too many flavors to name here!! Here’s some of the cupcakes I copped (pictured at $3.25 ea.); The Red velvet, The Boston Cream pie, The infinity chocolate, Lemon, salted caramel, The Carrot Cake, The Strawberry, The S’mores, and The Chocolate crunch cupcake!! So I smashed the Infinity cupcake before leaving the area...moist, rich, flavorful...simply decadent!! Truly what a cupcake is supposed to be!! I tried ONE macaroon whilst in store via the delightful mangers suggestion. They got me!! I wasn’t even in there for the macaroons...but again, I’m glad I snatched them up. I got a six pack at $2.10 each. Flavors included Chocolate, Birthday Cake, Lemon, Strawberry, their liquor infused Green Apple, and their uniquely flavored spicy rose macaroons. Y’all...the price for the cookies are WORTH IT!! They are that much of a delicacy. They are REALLY flavored well...if you get a Lemon macaroon...it taste like straight up lemon!! Get these...TRUST!! The my also have liquor infused cookies, and cupcakes!! Customer service was of the utmost quality (it’s a intimate space so you get a really good experience while there). Parking is rough, metered, and on a busy 8th street!! Overall this spot has got my loyalty...you can’t deny how delicious their products are!! It’s hard to chose just one flavor. I’ll be back!! That’s it!! #macarons #cupcakes #deliciousness #thesweetlobbydc #goodness #blackownedbusiness #bigschlimsreviews #flavors #deliciouseats #dcfoodie #smores #chocolate #strawberry #carrotcake #greenapple #rich #palatepleaser #musthaves #thatsit

Megan Barnes: The cake of my dreams was created by Tiffany at Buttercream. When we did our tasting I was blown away at how I would be able to choose as every flavor was better than the last. She did an incredible job pulling our English garden vibe together for a beautiful cake on our wedding day.

Shalette Brown: I’d like to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I have ppl trying to hook me up or get me to use their products and services but I typically refuse, cause I love All American Bakery and what they have to offer, from the point system, to the birthday special / complimentary offering, to the friendly and welcoming staff I’ve had the pleasure to meet and interact with. The environment is very down to earth and honestly I can go on and on. I just wish there was a location closer to where I live, but bets believe I make it work and still travel approximately an hour to visit their north capital street location.

Molly Cooper: I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We both got an americano (one hot, one iced) with oat milk. It was only around $8 which for DC I was expecting way more. The people working were so nice! I also grabbed sugar to put in it but it didn’t need it at all! This is the best coffee I’ve had in ages! It made me so happy :) thanks guys!!

Jules Polonetsky: Lovely baked items created by very special people. Spend your money and support independence and training for the employees. Gluten free options available.

Fonsetta Badger Brown: The cooking class was loads of fun. Pressure cooked short ribs, mushr!ooms risotto and cheesecake with caramel sauce.. The instructor was awesome!

Suradee Thongkiattikul: Great place to stop by after the zoo to grab a quick bite. The bagel sandwiches are around $6 and baked goods are around $4 each. Overall a decent place with vegan and gluten-free options. Nut-free and kosher if that’s also a concern for you. They had cute zoo-themed cake pops here and if you want a cute panda pop then this is the place for you. I tried their southwestern sandwich on an everything bagel and it was tasty and big enough that you’re full but not overly stuffed. I also tried their cookie bar and it was okay, though I wish I would’ve gone with their raspberry bar instead (maybe next time).

We've Got A Lot: Best Authentic Italian Bakery in DC. Very personal family run business, they bake for restaurants or sell by the loaf. My family has been going here for 60+ years. Come out and support them.

Dumdi B.: I’m always on the hunt for good treats that are both gluten and dairy free. I was so happy to find Rise Bakery! My favorite was the vegan double chocolate cupcake and the vegan cookies and cream cupcake. Both went really well with unsweetened almond milk. Such a nice treat for date night. Thank you for the existence of this place!

Camille Kirsch: Great bagels and great smoothies! The cupcakes are pretty good, too. There’s a $5 credit card minimum.

Vikram Seshadri: Came across this nice little bakery on the way to Dumbarton Oaks. They have amazing cakes, croissants and pies. The fruit cheesecake was the best one ever.

Rick Garcia: They came through last minute with an amazing cake! A company canceled on me Thursday night for a Sunday event. I emailed Imagine Studio and they came through. They are very friendly and great customer service. Their cakes were super moist and beautifully done! Love this place. They also support the military!

Philippe Jacques Kradolfer: The Praline Bakery seems large for the few products they had when we visited them. Entering it, as it looked like an European store from the outside, we were surprise at the very simple and kind of lack of personality of the store inside. Both main displays were basically empty but had great macaroons (specially the apricot and caramel ones!). Although the price per piece was rather high for the size of the macaroons, (smaller than regular macaroons) the taste made it worth the price. The day we were there they had Italian soft nougat bars in several different flavors. Although the price was also high the quality and taste was great!!! We bought several of these bars and we enjoyed them very much!!! The girls at the counter were less than friendly!!

Da-Wang Wu: First time buying from this bakery. The cheese scone and croissant were pretty good, but we didn’t enjoy the bird bread that much. I guess people who like nutty texture might enjoy it more. I ordered mocha, and the staff told me that I couldn’t adjust the level of sweetness because they used chocolate milk to make the mocha, which was a bit weird for me. Would look forward to trying some other breads in the future since they actually look pretty good!

Susan Null: Thank you for the wonderful macaron class. The chef was amazing with stories to tell from all the best restaurants in the nation. The directions were clear and our group worked together well. The macarons were delicious and I have confidence that we can do it at home. Thanks!!

Carolyn Bradshaw (PolythPam): Love Firehook! Amazing cookies, great coffees, and lovely staff at this location. They seemed to know most of the patrons, and their orders! Located at the top of the metro station it’s super easy to get to and a good stop for visiting the Smithsonian museums.
