Sin May Loke




Such a fun time! Our facilitator was hilarious and provided clear instructions. I wish we were taught a bit more about the candle process after it is mixed. Otherwise, a fun class, dope space. I’m grateful for the 5$ gift card too! I got a smudge stick with mine

Alzerina jewelry making class is an absolute gem! As an instructor, she's patient, knowledgeable, and overflows with infectious enthusiasm. From the moment my friends and I stepped into her studio, her warm, welcoming energy put us all at ease. Alzerina has a true gift for breaking down complex techniques in a way that makes jewelry making accessible and fun. Her bubbly personality, funny jokes, and  + more

Went as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday! It was great. We had a lot of fun and our dumplings were delicious. Our teacher was very informative, nice, and funny. He continually came around to offer individualized help and did a great demo! All around it was romantic and fun :)

Asian Dumplings Cooking Class review by Alexis Molinari - New York City


Justine Raymond




This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling. To be able to leave with a handmade knife was amazing!  + more

This was a gift for my son and his girlfriend. They had such a great time, and you even got my son to try things he never ate Thank you! Thank you! Regards, Marie


Michael Shea




Great value. You get drinks, an awesome teaching session, and the tools to make drinks at home. Host makes sure all people are having a fun time and the bar has a great vibe. Overall an amazing gift or experience!

Mary Ghiliotty




Had the best experience at this flower arrangement class! It was a holiday gift for my husband, and it turned out to be such a special and memorable time. Laura was the best instrutor — knowledgeable, encouraging, and a great artist. She made the class fun and so informative, guiding us through techniques and sparking our creativity. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a unique experience or just a creative escape!


Amrit Deol •




This was a great gift for my wife as something to do together in the new year


Nina Cheng




Great class with helpful instructors. I took a friend for a birthday gift and it was fun! Everyone was new to pottery and had the chance to make something they could later take home.


Anna Guaglione




Was such a fun experience and our instructor was very lovely. I gave it as a gift for my friends birthday and we had a fantastic time. The scents were so nice, and the candle turned out exactly how we were hoping. The vibes were great all around, and of course the wine was a fun addition to the experience. Would 100% do it again and would recommend for friends or couples.


Anonymized ClassBento student




I booked a class for my birthday with a few friends. Everyone loved the class! The teachers made it so fun with candle trivia, helping pour drinks, and just creating an overall incredible vibe. They even gave us all gift cards to use in the shop. I really recommend the class for any event or if you want to just find a fun activity to do with friends.


Paul Oh




A wonderful and educational class! EunYoung is very knowledgeable and patient as a teacher, she was so helpful teaching us all about matcha and how to make a proper cup. She went through the history, origins, types, and instruction on how to prepare matcha. I bought this course as a gift for my wife’s birthday and she enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend anyone who enjoys matcha to try this class. The shop she teaches in is cute too.


Doan Buu




My wife and I took the pet bowl class for an upcoming holiday gift exchange, and we were really happy with our decision! Natalie was very nice, helpful, and imformative and created a fun, relaxing environment. I'd never really worked in clay and by the end of the class I was quickly putting together my second bowl without much help or instruction! Two hours went by in a flash, I'd definitely recommend to anybody who wants to spend an afternoon crafting creatively.


Moongelina Hanson




Brittany and Cristian made the experience fun and comfortable, truly loved it. I think the cost for the class was really worth it, and the scents are to die for. I will be telling all my friends and anyone asking for recommendations for fun and relaxing to do in NYC. I also love the gift shop and how it felt like a little secret hang out when we went to where the class was taking place, it was a very  + more

Ann Marie Rocco




This was a gift to me from family as I always wanted to learn how to make mozzarella. I thought the class size was nice and enabled the teacher to be very engaged with the class. The teacher was great and very personable. She made it very enjoyable. I liked being able to jump right into making cheese, was fun.


Abigail Gepner




I got this as a gift for my partner's birthday – neither of us had done a cooking class before, but we cook a decent amount at home so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a full class, but Stefano and Dona did an excellent job of being attentive to everyone making sure we all got to participate in different parts of the process. Even as someone who is an experienced home cook, I came away learning a lot and the food was delicious! It was neat getting to try our hands at making the three different types of pasta from scratch. As a bonus, they  + more


Christopher Hutton




This was a xmas gift for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Teacher was great spending enough time with everyone to make sure we did not struggle. Venue had enough wheels, space and materials and we did learn the basics as set out. Yes I would recommend this class to any beginners.


Carson Elrod




This is a GREAT time. I was given this class as a Christmas present and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. The class size is small. My teacher was Gerard, and he was warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, encouraging, skilled, and patient. This is a no-nonsense class where you really learn by doing. There's a quick hello and then you're geared up and pounding on molten pieces of rebar like you're a Viking blacksmith forging a sword. After hammering, shaping, quenching, grinding, and weaving, four hours later you leave the workshop with a knife  + more


Clara Smith




The class was great! Instructors were super friendly and helpful! It was a gift for my mom, would recommend.


Matthew Talmage




Context: workshop gifted to me by my partner because she knows I like to swing by cologne counters and check out offerings. Andbest gift EVER! Workshop: Michelle lead our workshop with much info, ease and aplomb! She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection. We smelled a dizzying number of scents (I had to re-up on the mimosa 1/2 way through) as Michelle explained how each was derived/extracted; its characteristics  + more
