Loaf at First Sight!

My wife and I took the sourdough bread-baking class at Sherwood Coffee ’n’ Bread this past Saturday and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the warm welcome to the last bite of fresh-baked loaf, everything was exceptional.

Igor, our instructor, was fantastic! He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the art (and science!) of sourdough. He explained each step clearly, answered every question, and shared practical tips we can use at home. We left feeling confident, inspired, and eager to keep baking.

The atmosphere at Sherwood is as inviting as their bread is delicious: cozy, beautifully rustic, and filled with the comforting aroma of warm loaves. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned baker, this class is a must-try.

Thank you to Igor for an unforgettable, hands-on experience. We can't wait tor return soon and experience another class in pizza making!

Hello Jason!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words. It was a true pleasure having you both in class, and I’m so glad you left feeling inspired. I look forward to welcoming you back soon for pizza making it’s always a fun and delicious time!

P.S. Love the pictures

A Fun and Great Way to Learn!

This was such a a fun class! Being hands on and being able to ask questions really helped me understand the sourdough process. Igor was funny, professional, and extremely knowledgeable on sourdough bread making! The next day I made my own sourdough loaf at home and it came out perfect!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Andi. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed the class and found the hands-on approach helpful in understanding the sourdough process. It’s especially rewarding to know that you were able to bake your own loaf the very next day with great results - that’s truly wonderful to hear.
