SRJC Café Rose and Alex Ling Bakery — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Its a cute little bakery, I think the opportunity to try student prepared food is awesome and a great experience for both customer and students. Today I got a cheddar bacon scones and the apple cider donut cupcake. I think this was the fluffiest scones I've ever had, usually scones are hard crumbly and a mess to eat. This was extremely pleasant. Though, while eating it, each bite was a bit different; a couple bites were fine then towards the end it became a bite of either pure salt flavor or pure pepper flavor. While I dont mind either sensation together, individually as mouthfuls was a bit much for breakfast. I dont usually do donuts, but I liked the idea of a fusion bite. Very moist and bouncy with each bite. I like how much apple I could taste and it wasnt the super sugar fake apple flavor. The sugar coating is a tad messy but was fine, personally I think eating a plain one would have been more up my alley but if you like sugar donuts you'll love this. I feel this item gave all the fun of the donut without the grease feeling and I appreciate that. Took a Pic of the schedule and cant wait to try more...

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...

We had a delightful experience at the Cafe today. We ordered the clam chowder, Braised beef short ribs with polenta and carrots and the sweet and sour pork with jasmine rice. Plus the fresh three berry cobbler with creme anglaise and chantilly. The large bowl of clam chowder was creamy with a sweet flavor. My braised beef with polenta was tender and delicious. The sweet and sour pork was as super as any we’ve ever had. The three berry cobbler was perfect. We were not rushed and overall, can’t...
