About Classroom Cafe
Classroom Cafe, a woman-owned LLC established in 2022, was founded by Chef Mignon, who is driven by a passion to connect cooking with education—especially for youth. Her vision is to inspire young people to make healthier food choices and to empower them with the skills to cook for themselves, fostering independence and self-reliance.
After a successful career as an Executive Assistant, Chef Mignon pursued her dream by earning a degree in Culinary Arts from the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute in May 2022. Her commitment to cleanliness in the kitchen, adherence to food safety protocols, and dedication to teaching essential life skills guide Classroom Cafe’s mission. She believes that by providing children with a solid foundation in cooking, they gain a valuable skill they can carry throughout their lives.
​
Classroom Cafe is unique in that it aims to offer cooking classes, not just for kids in grades K-12, but for their family members too. Moms and dads, grandparents and even aunties and uncles can cook with their favorite little (or big) person at any time. We believe that it's a win-win situation when families bond over cooking meals together. Classes can be offered as a single activity, or to get the most out of the experience, a 4-week series is presented where participants will learn their way around the kitchen, learning simple measurements, techniques and menu planning that they will be able to use in their every day lives.
​
We realize that it's not always possible for family members to step away from work and other obligations to participate in a cooking class. Child-only classes are perfect for after-school programs, birthday parties and more? Please visit our Pricing page for more details.

Future plans for Classroom Cafe LLC is opening a brick and mortar that will house a cafe and additional space for cooking classes. In the meantime, the Cafe is mobile and on the go. If you have a working kitchen (3-bay sink or dishwasher, cooler or fridge, range oven and counter space) than Classroom Cafe would love to partner with you.
