For every Cooking Class you take with Waverly, we will donate 10 meals to those in need. Help us fight hunger! Waverly helps various charity partners raise funds and awareness. We donate a percentage of our profits to a rotating monthly charity. Some of the Charities we support include “Books of Africa” where books are donated to classrooms in Africa and the “Joyful Heart Foundation” which makes it possible to change the way society thinks about, talks about and responds to sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. 

Don’t forget to inquire about special events! Whether you are having a bachelorette party, a corporate team building event or a kids birthday party you are sure to create many memorable moments with us! Waverly will customize cooking classes to tailor your special occasion. Waverly also specializes in hosting childrens’ birthday parties – with a twist! Host your child’s cooking & baking birthday party with Waverly.

Sandy Olivas, the Founder and Owner of Waverly, always dreamed of opening a delightful neighborhood gathering place where children and adults could both enjoy. Her background is in both cooking school operations and the hospitality industry. Sandy is motivated by her amazing children who mean the world to her. Her vision while creating Waverly was for the community to have a place where they could sit down, read a great book with a great cup of coffee and pastry, or take a fun interactive cooking class. Sandy believes that the most important things in life should be your compassion and commitment towards others. She has poured her heart and soul into creating a cozy and caring place for all to enjoy!

For every person who subscribes to Waverly’s emails, the store will donate a meal to Feeding America in a mission to fight worldwide hunger. Head to their website now to stay in the loop of future offerings while giving back.
