Let customers speak for us
from 55 reviewsI love everything about Baba's, the kombucha and the original flavors. The cooking classes are so much fun with Olga. I even had Olga come to my house for a family bagel making brunch class which was the best ever!
Olga is a power house business woman who walks the walk. There are no short cuts and she definitely puts her time in.
Olga makes cooking so easy and enjoyable. I will absolutely be using the skills that I have learned. I loved it so much that I immediately signed up for the bagel class when we were finished making focaccia!

We highly recommend this event and others like it! We had so much fun learning all the tips and tricks making homemade pirogies and toppings and then eating our masterpieces and taking home extras. These classes are great to do as couples, friends, family. A unique way to spend time together and Olga is gracious, fun and inspirational, she really knows how to bring people together and create fun events around cooking and hospitality. Her homemade kombucha is stellar, crisp and delicious.

The class was both fun and delicious. Olga is a great teacher. We were able to work together to make a delicious meal. She haves is recipes and several options for fillings. She was kind and patient. It was a good outing for me and my friend. I will be attending another class soon!
Lets start with how easy it was to book the class on line. Then, the communication from booking to after the class was so helpful and appreciated. Olga is a breath of fresh air. She is so funny and friendly, right from the door. She is extremely knowledgeable and a perfect person to teach a cooking class. Patient yet firm, she taught 12 people how to cook a meal and made it so much fun yet educational. Olga only uses the freshest, healthiest ingredients which makes the food taste that much better. The shop is absolutely beautiful, so fancy. Each person had their own cooking space and tools but everyone shared, helped, and worked together to create a phenomenal meal. A table was set so elegant and we all enjoyed our meal together making new friends, taking photos and even shared a toast. The kombucha flowed freely and was delicious. Several flavors on tap so you can try them all. Ive done many workshops over the years, glass, flowers, cooking, baking, and this was by far the best Ive attended. Book a class, you won't regret it.
My teenage daughter and I signed up for the Asian dumpling class and we enjoyed the experience immensely! It was a great group and Olga is a wonderful (and funny) instructor. It was much easier to make the dumplings than I had imagined. We enjoyed feasting on them after the class. I sampled all the kombucha which was another fun aspect of the class. I am looking forward to taking a pierogi class in the future.
Best cooking classes in the area. I love Olga's classes. This is the third one I have taken and I have learned so much, and I am someone who has been cooking from scratch my whole life. The latest class was Kraut and Kimchi and I will never buy sauerkraut again! A lot of fun and super informative. Highly recommended!
We had a blast learning how to cook with Olga on a Valentine’s Day! I highly recommend her cooking events for couples and friends. Olga greeted us upon arrival and was very detailed with each step of the cooking process, occasionally joking and emphasizing the key ingredient of cooking to be “love”. This was such a neat date idea. We will be back!
I am so glad I found out about A Culture Factory and Chef Olga!
I have learned so much with every class and workshop I attend. My husband and I recently were a part of her couple’s Valentine’s Day dinner, which highlighted french cuisine. It was so delicious, one of the best meals we have ever had. Olga’s commitment to high quality ingredients, approachable recipes for even beginner cooks, and knowledge and technique made a memorable night. I highly recommend any class from her, and I look forward to my next one!
Chef Olga is the best. I absolutely love all of her classes. This 6 week course opened up not only my mind but my palate. I learned so many great skills to help me be a better cook and met some great people along the way. Looking forward to more cooking classes.
I retired this past May and one of my goals was to take my cooking skills to the next level. Olga’s Culinary Bootcamp class did just that and so much more. My family is SO happy with my progress! Olga’s classes are informative, hands-on, and so much fun. I enrolled in her Turkish cuisine and crepe classes scheduled in March. I’m so fortunate to have these opportunities for self improvement.
Attending one of the cooking classes at the Culture factory with Olga Sorzano is a treat. Her depth of knowledge is deep and her ability to share stories and teach skills even better. This class on cooking fish was enjoyable I learned cooking and prep skills and was able to enjoy the finished product in a great setting with a nice group of other students. I would highly recommend taking a class.
We took the sauerkraut and kimchi cooking class. It was great. We enjoyed kombucha while learning. Olga taught the principles behind fermentation and how it affects our body and makes cabbage into a super food through fermentation. We had a blast, took home a jar of kraut and kimchi. She also offered a great deal for the store items for the attendees. We will definitely attend others classes.
I have taken 3 of Olga's cooking classes so far and have learned so much! Olga is a wonderful teacher and chef!! I can't wait to take another class!
If i could give her 10 stars, I would!
We had the best time and learned so much at this cooking class! Olga talked us expertly through the entire process, told us the importance of each step and fermented foods in general, and we enjoyed sipping on kombucha throughout the entire class!
