Meristem Café

Our Culinary Arts classes offer students the rare opportunity to learn to prepare high quality foods from top notch chefs, using only the finest ingredients, sourced mainly from our organic garden on campus. Within the Culinary Arts program, Café offers paid internships to learn to take customers orders, manage the Café payment system, serve customers, and receive customer feedback. Students practice adaptable skills for a variety of industries through their experiences.

The Meristem Café is open to the public for lunch on Thursdays and Fridays that Meristem is in session from 11:30am – 1:30pm. Reservations are requested 24 hours ahead of arrival so that students can make preparations. To make your Café reservation, please email reservations@meristem.pro.
