Business Review
"Super clean space, enthusiastic instructors, kids loved it!... My child loved the experience. She couldn't stop smiling through the event. Highly recommend!" — Sarasota Camp Parent"
Amazing place for a party! I've had a few private party experiences as a guest... Yesterday I had the opportunity to host my daughter's 6th birthday with Dennis and the team and it's safe to say she had the best day ever! They made it SO easy as a mom! All the kids were fed and had a great time and the parents got to talk or take an hour to themselves. Super great way to host a stress free party with no clean up! Hope to try some classes next. Highly recommend Young Chef's Academy!" — Sarasota Mom
"My daughter has been taking cooking classes here for 3–4 months now, and she absolutely loves it! The owner is attentive and engaging and the staff seem to really enjoy teaching the classes with the kids. Would definitely recommend!" — Local Sarasota Parent
