Our Cooking School has been teaching home cooks everything from pizza making to the creation of elegant holiday buffets for 40 years. We have a reputation for intimate, informal classes on a wide range of topics taught by local chefs and other esteemed experts. It’s easy to register online.

Our fall session, which will start in September, will be announced this summer!

First Friday in June
June 6, 5:00-7:00

We select a non-profit each month for First Friday on Monroe Street, and donate 20% of our sales to them. In honor of Pride Month, we'll be donating to GSAFE in June. GSAFE is a local organization dedicated to creating just schools for LGBTQ+ youth in Wisconsin.

We'll also be offering our popular Sip & Spin activity - every purchase of $10 or more entitles you to take a chance on winning a prize!
