SRJC Café Rose and Alex Ling Bakery

Great food, great prices

This cafe has very nice pastries and good coffee and the staff is very pleasant and amicable. Be aware though that they're not open everyday and that they often sell out of their most popular items quite early. Also, they could have more tables and chairs available outside but overall it's a really nice experience and you're supporting culinary students and the program, so despite their limited hours and seating it's a nice place to stop if you're in the area.

my recommendation is go after 11 because fresh sourdough ancient grain and other delicious breads are available. The students are constantly bringing out incredible food and I found it hard to stop buying. Also, the restaurant is something I can’t wait to try at lunch. Highly recommend booking a reservation for the lunch and supporting future chefs!
also, the organic coffee was excellent!

Amazing, I wish it was open everyday, all year long, with a kiosk on campus.

This student run bakery is such a great value to chefs in training and the community. I love that their menu is always changing, and the student workers are always so enthusiastic. Always look forward to coming here!

Only problem was we had 4 checks and they divided the wine cost 4 ways and only 2 people drank. It was a major deal to get it straightened out. It actually put a damper on what had been a lovely exp - rience The service was excellent, as was the food. Our favorite place and all of us love to eat! I forgot to mention that we were never offered the senior discount and all if us were 70 or older. In future we'll always ask for it, because they never remind you it's offered.

Unique dining experience. My brother and Mom (many years ago) went through this program and loved it. My brother was placed in a great job as a chef at a well-known winery where he has worked for years. Love the hands on learning, and support for college students getting jobs after graduating. My Mom, brother and I came here to eat recently and we loved all the food. There’s an array of cuisines from Mexican to Asian to Italian - we ate much of the items on the menu. Our server was super sweet. The bakery bread is so fresh - our fav was a cranberry/walnut one. Seniors over 60 get 15% off and reservations are needed in advance as hours/days are limited. Great place to see student chefs in action, eat good food and support this great local program.

Delicious and a good value.

What an amazing experience! Couldn't decide what to order because every menu item looked so delicious. Chef extrodinaiire, Shelly, educated us all about the culinary school,and offered up some of the most delicious courses which we shared all around. A lively and fun experience! My tastebuds are saying, "More, more, more"! Thank you Valeta and Shelly for such a lovely day!

Excellent service and food experience, plus it supports students learning skills and preparing for careers.
