Culinary Cafeteria

Affordable and generally an okay place to grab a meal on campus. My only criticism would be the eggs at breakfast; there is always a puddle of butter/​oil underneath, enough to soak 3 napkins. We are known for incorporating healthier and locally sourced options, and so I hope that the culinary dept continues to hold true to this!

I been coming here for a couples weeks now and the food is fresh and delicious. The pastries look amazing and dangerously delicious. Im totally for coming here versus whole foods or any other place. Good job students food is top notch. P. S THE FOOD IS PRETTY AFFORDABLE.

The students have no idea how good they have it. We went for breakfast and it was amazing — try one of the scrambles, homemade sausages and crazy delicious pastries. Kudos to the program instructors — your students have serious talent. Freshest, most delicious breakfast we’ve had in a long time.

The student cafeteria is delicious AND cheap! Everything is cooked fresh by students, with a daily hot menu that changes and always burritos, desserts and salads. Given the food wasteland that is CCSF, I can’t see why this wouldn’t be a weekly stop (daily if you can)!

I was skeptical at first. Given how disgusting the other food place is on CCSF campus.
Yet I took one bite of the Mediterranean wrap and I wet myself. I highly recommend it.
Fast service as well.

All the food here are made from scratch. Why? Because this restaurant is run my city college students. Here, they need to learn how to make everything from scratch in order to graduate and work in an actual restaurant or hotel and what not.
They have breakfast lunch and dinner times open from a certain time period so get here on time. Many of the foods here are good like the burrito :) Although the chicken wings are good, they are quite expensive and really really small. Lots of seats around but may be noisy. If you’re a city college student, come on down and check out the food culinary students made!

parking? across the street and you’ll have to pay for parking, unless you are disabled and have a placard, then lots of parking. if you are looking for free parking, you’ll have to be the Luckiest person of the day to park on the street.
I used to eat here, every morning for breakfast. it was the BEST! I don’t go to the school anymore and sometimes, i’ll stop by, because i’m the luckiest person on the earth that day, and park. I’ll run in, order some food and CHOW DOWN.
I honestly have NEVER had anything I didn’t enjoy here. I don’t even eat some foods… well, i don’t eat certain veggies. Here? I’ll eat them because its like eating at a restaurant… a high end restaurant… well the FOOD IS. Not the people or the service, or the atmosphere. I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE THOUGH! LOL.
This food is the ‘Best Hidden Secret’ for the Price and Taste. Thank You Students… it seems like, You’re Gonna Go Far!

Since I work on the CCSF campus, I eat lunch here almost every Monday, and I have to say this student run cafeteria is a unexpected treat. A entrée with two sides is only about $ 7. The food always is tasty and the veggies always fresh and flavorful.
Today I had Veal cutlet w/​roasted cauliflower and sautéed zucchini, and it was delicious.
Obviously this isn’t a place you go for presentation or refinement, but it’s a great for a solid affordable meal.

I got a fruit salad for brkf, and only the grapes were ripe. I couldnt even eat it. There goes $ 4. I also dont know why there are slim to non healthy options.

Still the same rating, the food is pretty good still. Although sometimes the chefs give us the wrong prices compared to what we’re actually paying for. I bought one slice of French toast here and the chef serving it to us said it was only $ 1.25 for a slice, but once we got to the cash register we were charged $ 2.25. Luckily we were able to settle things, but it’d be better for chefs to know the prices of their food before serving it.
One of the coolest additions to the cafeteria is Dot’s Diner. They serve diner style food and also give off a very diner feel to it. There isnt a large selection of food to choose from, but they always have a different dish of the day. Its a cute little place that you should definitely try out.

I love going to this café!
I swear the foods are as good as other restaurants
They also offer good deals
Like I think 1 entrée and 1 side would be $ 5 – 6 and the portion is a lott
I really love their cheesecake and I guess its only like $ 2.5
Oh yea and the staffs are friendly. 5 stars! :)

They’ve opened the Café Med this semester. Had the Lamb kebabs and they were awesome. Tender and tasty. This bodes well for the rest of the menu. Student prepared food. Good portions. Good price.

It’s extremely disappointing that there aren’t more food options on or near campus, but that said, the CCSF cafeteria is the campus’ saving grace (well, that and the Pierre Coste Dining Room). The food is absolutely delicious, the selection isn’t half bad, and everything’s very affordable. And they take credit cards! It’s something like $ 5.50 for an entrée, a side, and a piece of bread (and another 75 cents for a second side). Sign me up!

Culinary students working really hard making good food.
The girls should be wearing the hair up more, I see a lot of hats with long hair hanging out the back. Not sure if all that exposed hair is good in the kitchen.

The cafeteria food at school is OK. I don’t understand how can people give more stars for amateur cooking than what most restaurants get.
The portions they give you doesn’t add up to the amount they charge you. Student pricing? Nah. $ 5.75 for a piece of chicken and some potatoes? Serious? Or get this, $ 6.00 for a cheeseburger and some frozen fries. I can go to In-​N-​Out for a better meal + a drink. If you plan on getting full before class, don’t go here if you don’t want a small portion meal that is charged for profit.

It’s American style food and always something new each week.
The price ranges from only $ 3 – 6 dollars for a plate of food depending on what you get and in all honesty, it’s the same price for the amount of food you get here then over at the MickyD’s two blocks away.
The food here is made fresh everyday and having the convenience of not actually having to leave campus to grab more expensive food on my break is a plus! You can also checkout the No Name Noodle Bar on the other side of the cafeteria if your not diggin’ the whole American food.

The Noodle Bar has been really successful this year. I’ve gone there 3 times this week. You can order various asian dishes for around $ 5, and can upgrade to a meal for $ 2.50 more. The meal gets you a drink, and half order of delicious honey almond chicken wings. The sauce on the wings is so good, I usually pour the rest on whatever dish I get. Favorite dishes are the broccoli beef with noodles, and the chicken fried rice.
I hear next semester they’ll have Latin cuisine in that section. Looking forward to it, but will miss the noodle bar. =(
On the other side of the cafeteria, the carving station always has a good variety of meats. Next to the carving station they offer about 4 different sides, and sometimes chicken.
You can buy bulk salads in the cafeteria, and they let you mix and match. They usually have about 4 or 5 different choices. $ 2.65 for a small, 3 something for a large. These are cold salads. I like this one they make that has corn with ranch dressing =) I mix it with the tuna salad. Makes for a nice veggie lunch, if you’re veggie.
Down from the carving station they have a station where there’s always a pasta of the day. Usually around $ 5, and they normally have veggie options. I loove when they make the bacon penne with alfredo and mushrooms.
The sandwich station that comes next is almost always very good, but you have to catch them early. Many times they run out of their dish, and they shut down after that. Last time it was pulled pork sandwiches on a sweet Hawaiian roll served with coleslaw (the person in front of me got the last one). I’ve had nutella with strawberries and/​or bananas which is not nearly as substantial, but very tasty. They make panini’s here with different combinations daily for around $ 5.
They also have two choices of soup everyday, one usually veggie. The desserts are usually reeally good and inexpensive too. They normally have about 2 or 3 different delicious desserts for around $ 2.

Excellent amazing food, tons of variety, decently priced! Puts Laney College’s Culinary program to absolute shame!
They are opening an experimental restaurant this semester called the «No Name» Noodle Bar, even cheaper, food prepped by the 2^nd semester students and cooked up by the 3^rd sem students.
I eat here twice a day sometimes, the other food on campus (outside the cafeteria) is overpriced greasy trash.

Taste Buds. Also could be called Unhealthy Buds. Another alternative is This Is Why America Is Getting Fatter Buds.
The consistent response to my asking for egg whites, turkey burgers, veggies burgers or grilled chicken — no.
But I could have had my fill of cheeseburgers, sausage, creamy scallops and a few other not so healthy options.
I realize I’m less tolerant than most, but come on. Not a single healthy option? Ridiculous. It took one of the cooks going to the back to find some turkey to make me a panini and fortunately he got the theme of my questions and asked if I wanted butter on the bread. Absolutely not. And so much for a cheaper price to get it a la carte. Apparently french fries are the default whether you want them or not. Second star is for the lady at the register who OK’d a piece of fruit instead. My arteries thank you.
As you can tell from my previous Unilocal,City Room next door is a much, much better option.

DISCLAIMER: THIS REVIEW IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO CCSF STUDENTS
If you don’t go to the school, you aren’t going to round up the crew and head out to the CCSF cafeteria, though the food is sometimes good enough to warrant that. You may be asking, «WTF are you talking about, Garrett?» I can explain. The CCSF cafeteria is run by the culinary school (o rly?) YA RLY! This means that you get high quality food at a very low price.
EXAMPLES:
–Artichoke and Leek Bread Pudding on a Bed of Mixed Greens with Lime Vinaigrette — $ 5.65
–Sorrowful Rice: Tearful Rice with Marinated BBQ Pork, Chinese Broccoli Greens and a Sunny Side Egg — $ 5.25
–Garlic Sauteed Shrimp with Chile Avocado Sauce over Rice — $ 5.75
also, their deserts are awesome, they have a much greater selection than I have illustrated here and you get free bread with your meal. because the cooks are learning, I have been told that the food is better at the end of the year.
they keep weird hours too, lunch and dinner, but dinner is really early and there is a break in between meals where they are closed for a couple hours.
