Saturday Morning Brunch

UPDATE [6/9/2021] Our Saturday brunch will remain closed for the time being. We will reopen Saturday brunch at the appropriate time. In the last year we’ve hosted three pop-up events (pre-order, take out only) on August 22nd and November 7th (in 2020) and most recently June 5th 2021. We hope to continue those until we are able to fully reopen again.

Like many, the pandemic has taken a substantial hit to our business. Our plan is to bring back brunch when the other parts of our business have returned to pre-pandemic level. If you’d like to have Chef Alyssa’s Saturday Brunch back, please consider supporting our other services like cooking classes, family table meals and office lunch catering that you can do any time!

—-

It’s not a class or in a box, it’s a good ol’ brunch service! Visit us between 9 am – 2 pm on Saturdays for the best breakfast in town. Just place your order at the counter and then pull up a chair at one of our family tables inside or on the patio. No reservations required, unless you would like to reserve our private room.

Our private room is available for rental and wonderful for bridal or baby shower celebrations.

Please note: busiest times in brunch are typically between 10:45 am and 12:45 pm. But not always. Unsure? Call ahead and ask! 704-817-7568

Additional note: We make our entire menu from scratch each week for brunch. While we are counter service, we are not a quick-service fast food style. Coffee, pastries and other bakery items are always available right away!

 

Beginning Saturday December 8th, 2018. Paused after March 14th, 2020. Brunch Pop-ups occur sporadically during the year,

Named as of the Top 12 brunches in Charlotte in 2019 by Charlotte Agenda.

Named one of the Top 2 brunches in South End, and top 20 in Charlotte by Thrillist.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO THE CLASSES WORK?

Each class is completely hands-on, interactive and a lot of fun. We bring all the kitchen supplies and ingredients you’ll need. You’ll be stationed at tables of four and will work with your table to produce the meal. If there are more than four people in your group, you may be split up. If you have in your group. E-mail us ahead of time!

WHAT ARE YOUR COVID-19 PROCEDURES?

These have changed in different ways from 2020 until present day. First and foremost, Chef Alyssa’s Kitchen is a company that has taken the pandemic with precaution and have always followed recommended guidance from county and health organizations.

Currently facemasks are optional for all guests and staff. We will continue to provide the safest environment for our guests and team members. Our team will urge and promote frequent handwashing and other sanitary practices. Please be mindful and respectful of those around you.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I COME WITH A FRIEND WHO IS NOT AS GOOD OF A COOK AS I AM?


Our recommendation would be to find a class level somewhere in between (we have five), but not too advanced. Since you’ll be working in a group, no one person will complete every part of the meal. The class environment designed to not be intimidating. Please be sure to stay within the cooking level that you are comfortable with.

Of course! And please bring with you a reusable container to our cooking class. We are a sustainable first company whenever possible.
