Chocolate and Boba Making Birthday Parties!
Looking for a fun, meaningful, and delicious way to celebrate? Whether you're planning a birthday party or a team-building event, our unique hands-on experiences bring people together in a way that’s both creative and restorative.
Artisanal Chocolate Birthday Party (ages 5 - 12)
Each class begins with a breathing lesson so our chocolatiers are centered and focused. Learn to make Artisanal chocolate from scratch using fresh organic cacao straight from the farms of Ecuador! We'll learn about chocolate making in this delicious hands on class.
Boba-Making Party! (ages 5 - 12)
In addition to our beloved chocolate-making events, we're now offering Boba Tea Parties! Guests will learn how to make their own artisanal bubble tea drinks—choosing from a variety of teas, flavors, and toppings—and walk away with new skills (and their own custom drink in hand!).
What’s Included: (2 hour long lesson for birthday child + birthday parents + 10 children)
A mindfulness lesson to help everyone slow down and savor the experience.
A hands-on chocolate-making or boba-making lesson led by a fun, experienced chef instructor.
Each participant makes their own box of handmade chocolates or custom bubble drinks to enjoy or share.
A community-building circle activity focused on appreciation and gratitude—full of warm and fuzzies and often ending in hugs!
All parties take place at 2095 Rose St. #202, Berkeley, CA,
just blocks from Cheeseboard Pizza and Live Oak Park.

The proverbial cherry on top is that in lieu of open gifts, the chef instructor conducts an appreciation circle for the birthday child where all guests, including parents get to express a personality trait that they appreciate about the child. The circle frequently ends in hugs!
