Chef Alyssa's Kitchen

Frequently Asked Questions

We are located at 4001 Yancey Rd. Charlotte, NC 28217. Building C, Suite 100. Enter our complex (Bowers) off Yancey Rd. We are in the back right area of the parking lot. We are in the same building (but located behind them) as Line-x. You’ll see signs for us as you get closer!

We have two dedicated parking lots that are also shared by our neighbors. Our main parking lot holds 200 spots and the overflow lot just across the street has 100. There is also street parking (all free), but can get crowded during popular times.

There are many offerings from Chef Alyssa’s Kitchen! If you’re here to learn you’ll want to find our culinary or baking classes. And for those 21 and under check our kids/teens pages.

Looking for meals? We have three kinds: Office Lunch Catering, Family Table To-Go Meals and Holiday Catering. Similar but all a little different and unique depending on the occasion!

They are fun, interactive and filled with great recipes and information. Our adult classes are ages 21+ only. This is a hard rule. We do have parent + child (ages 7-12) and parent + teen (ages 11-18) to take together. Along with a few teens foundations classes throughout the year.

You’ll work in a group of 4 to share and split the tasks and ultimately be able to make the full meal. There is a chef demo first with guests listening. Then music comes back on and each table works on their next steps before they are ready to sit down about after a little over 2 hours of cooking. 

While we have a lot to learn and takeaway, our events do not have a certificate or degree. But do check out our specialized workshops like our Beginner Series or focuses like Pie Making, Macarons, Sausage Making and more.

Sign up for our Beginner Class! We’ll go over the basics of the basics.

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.

Sure. We make that easy for you by providing nifty recipe books. You can even take notes as we go along.

Unfortunately, no BYOB is allowed. However, do we have a great selection of local beer, wine, cider, seltzer and non-alcoholic options. There is a self serve filtered water station.

We have 4 different styles for group sizes 12 to 70. Check out our Private Events here!

Lunch Catering in individual boxed or bulk style:

Family Table Meals: to-go meals built to last and travel to your home. Available as individual or larger size.

Advanced notice is always best! Emailed to [email protected] so we can best keep it accurate. For cooking classes, not all menus can be accommodate. If there is a gluten allergy and pasta is on the menu, you may want to choose a different menu. But most cooking class menus are fully or mostly gluten-free. Many have a vegetarian option. Let us know in advanced prior to signing up!

On Lunch Catering and Family Table Meals, we’ll do our best to remove an allergen item with notification. Dressings are always on the side. 

Oh, do we miss it! From 2018 to 2020 we turned our space into a casual, order at the counter brunch service. We loved it and it was continually named as the Top 10 in Charlotte from Axios Charlotte, Eater CLT and others. But when the pandemic hit, we were never able to find the right time to open it. We’ve since adjusted to more Saturday cooking classes to fill the gap. But if you catch us at the right time, you may be able to convince us for a one-time only Saturday brunch event. 

This is the best way for new class notifications to sign up before they are filled. Sign up here!
