The Curious Fork – Solana Beach, Beautiful Location, Cafe and Cooking Classes
If you’re a regular reader of our BLOG you’ll remember that yesterday I posted about a meeting I attended of successful female San Diego business owners. After attending that meeting, I felt needed a post of its own was worthy of this location (a.k.a. treasure).
I had expected a simple coffee shop but was thrilled to arrive and see so much more. The general feel of this cafe is something that I would expect when traveling in Napa. An industrial look with a warm feel. As a San Diego Interior Designer, I’m always on the search for something that offers up a new and inspiring interior, this did let me down.
Imagine not only a place to enjoy your favorite beverage, but also a place where you can sample a gourmet dessert (baked on the premises daily), or order a decadent sandwich or salad for lunch but, they also have out of this world cooking classes! I’ve personally been looking for this last option for months as my husband and I both enjoy cooking together and what better date than a cooking class.
When I’m sampling a new place to dine I’m just as picky about my surroundings as I am about the food. Comes hand-in-hand with being an Interior Designer. I’m even pickier when it comes to staying at a hotel, so for me to find a new gem like The Curious Fork is a big ‘score’ .
Inside this cafe you’ll find a long bar height table that looks out of the front of the cafe and is completed with bar stool. Then there are two large tables that consist of two tables bunched together to make one. These are the areas used for their hands on cooking classes. If you look at the far left at the picture above, you will see a large chalk board, that is the kitchen demonstration area for their cooking classes.
Speaking of cooking classes, take a look at the sampling of the upcoming events. If you jump over to their web site you will see a complete list of their classes for the next two months. You can even sign-up on line. While their take a look at the class chefs and their bios, I M P R E S S I V E.
Beautifully displayed on a full wall of this new found treasure, you’ll find some very creative cook books, cooking tools and just simply put, some fantastic staging.
Blueberry Lemon Almond Cake, all I can say is . . . YES PLEASE! I actually was going to purchase a slice before I left and I forgot. I need to find a reason to go back this week.
