Came here looking for a Japanese knife, Connor helped us picking out a really good knife within our budget and needs. He also let us try out different knife to make sure we pick the right one that we satisfy with. Super happy with our purchase. Definitely come back for more!

I really enjoyed the Coffee Like a Pro class! Mark is a fantastic instructor—knowledgeable, engaging, and great at explaining everything in a way that’s easy to understand. I learned a lot and had a great time!
