    My mom and I loved this class. We do enjoy baking occasionally but never attempted to make croissants. This class was very particular and specific with instructions that make the whole process easy to follow, helping anyone to make great croissants. The teachers were very knowledgeable and made the class fun. The end results were delicious and we went home with 4 croissants and 4 pain au chocolat EACH. Would recommend this class!

    A Croissant named Charlotte!

    Cosette_C, Oct 2026
    Our chef, Leticia was amazing! Her welcoming smile, her love for baking, stories, and guidance made the class fun while educational. She made sure that we understood why we did certain steps in a particular order by explaining the outcome if we didn't follow the sequence. I will remember this class and the techniques I learned for a very long time!

    Response from Host, Nov 2026

    Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed Laeticia's teaching style and appreciated the explanations behind each step. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her. We hope you'll put your new baking skills to good use back home!

    Wonderful experience, definitely recommend!

    Kelly_C, Aug 2026
    My sister and I had an absolutely amazing experience with our lovely pastry chef Vivian! She explained everything so thoroughly to us and was very patient, polite, super engaged and friendly. We had such a wonderful class and was so impressed with how yummy and professional our crossiants and pain au chocolat pastries came out all thanks to Vivian. We’ve been wanting to learn how to make Crossiants for a long time and this class did not disappoint, especially as we were complete beginners! Whenever we visit Paris again we’d definitely love to come back for another class at Studio Pâtisserie especially with Vivian, 100% recommend, 10/10. Thank you for a wonderful morning Vivian!

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you so much for this fantastic review, Kelly! We’re delighted that you and your sister had such a wonderful first experience learning to make croissants and pain au chocolat with Vivienne. It’s lovely to hear that her thorough explanations, patience, and friendly encouragement helped you feel comfortable as complete beginners—and that you were so impressed with the delicious, professional-looking pastries you created. Vivienne will be thrilled to read your kind words. Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation. We would be delighted to welcome you both back to Studio Pâtisserie on your next visit to Paris! Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie

    Entertaining and amazingly delicious ❤️

    Paul_E, Aug 2026
    We were very lucky to have been taught by Leticia, a very talented and knowledgable Le Cordon Bleu graduate and former pastry chef for a Michelin star restaurant (as she usually teaches the advanced pastry classes. The croissants and pain au chocolat were amazing❤️🥐😋 We really enjoyed her stories about her grandmother who taught her to bake and a brief history of where French pastries and desserts originated….the class was well worth the price and we cannot wait to replicate the recipe at home❣️

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the croissant and pain au chocolat class with Laeticia, as well as the delicious pastries you created.

    What a great class!

    Jamie_L, Jul 2026
    Laetecia was a fabulous instructor! There were only 4 of us in class and we had a great time. Very hands on, informative and delicious! Laetecia made sure we were very comfortable with the process so we can make croissants at home. It was a learning workshop and not just an experience. It was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re delighted that you had such a great time in the croissant class and that Laetecia’s hands‑on, detailed teaching made you feel truly comfortable with every step of the process. It’s fantastic to hear that, with only four people in the group, the workshop felt both intimate and informative—and that you left not just with delicious croissants, but with the confidence to recreate them at home. That’s exactly our goal: a real learning workshop, not just a one‑off experience. We’re honoured that the class was one of the highlights of your trip to Paris. Thank you for recommending us so warmly, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie on a future visit. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie

    Great hands on experience- with Letiticia. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you will be standing most of the time.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Thank you so much for joining our croissant baking class and for sharing this kind review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the hands‑on experience with Laeticia and found the session engaging from start to finish. You’re absolutely right about the comfortable shoes—there’s a lot of rolling, folding, and shaping involved when mastering croissants, and most of the class is spent at the workbench. It’s wonderful to hear that this worked well for you and added to the overall experience. We hope your new croissant skills bring you many flaky, buttery breakfasts at home, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie on a future visit to Paris. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
